Naruto woke the next day and sat up. His whole body was sore from the three times that he and Sasuke had made love. He wasn’t complaining but they really did need to fill in the gaps of the last six years. He stood and stumbled his way to the bathroom. After relieving himself he stepped into the shower to try and wash away some of the sin he had indulged in.

 

He was about ten minutes into the shower when Sasuke joined him. He had forgotten how built and sexy Sasuke had gotten in the last six years. The solid wall of muscle pressed itself against his back and he leaned into it. Having Sasuke back had somehow filled the void that lay in his chest but caused worry to lodge itself in his mind.

 

They finished the shower with nothing more than a few kisses and hugs and stepped out to dry off and dress. Once finished they made their way to the kitchen where Sasuke made Naruto sit down while he made breakfast and some coffee. Naruto was grateful. His back and ass were still quite sore and every move made him want to curse.

 

“So where have you been over the last six years?” Naruto asked. Sasuke smirked. It was that time already.

 

“Here and there. I never stay in one place too long. I have made a few enemies and it is hard to stay put when you are being hunted.” Sasuke said. His back was to Naruto so he didn’t see the disapproving look he was getting from his blonde.

 

“Was it necessary to make those enemies?” Naruto asked. Sasuke stopped moving and Naruto could see him tense a bit.

 

“For me to come back here to you, yeah it was.” Sasuke said and went back to cooking.

 

“So why didn’t you call me after you left town?” Naruto asked. Sasuke bowed his head.

 

“I needed you to get on with your life. I thought you would clean up your act without me around and get married and settle down, have a couple of kids: the whole nine yards.” Sasuke said.

 

“How did you know that I hadn’t?” Naruto asked. Sasuke smirked.

 

“I knew that if I couldn’t get over you then there was no way you could get over me. We were made for each other.” Sasuke said and set a plate in front of Naruto.

 

Naruto smiled in spite of the situation. He picked up his fork and ate heartily. Sasuke joined him at the table and eyed the blonde. Time had changed the baby face into chiseled and full features. The lips were still plump but fuller and more masculine. The curve of his face had changed to a harder jaw line instead of round.

 

The eyes held a hint of childishness but they held a lot more sorrow than anything. Sasuke’s chest clenched at the fact that he was the one to cause that sorrow. Naruto’s hair was a bit shorter and a bit spikier. The lines on his face weren’t as prominent as they had been in their youth the bristles on his chin gave away the years passed.

 

His shoulders were broader and his height had skyrocketed. His thighs were built and not puny and his arms were well toned. The tummy he used to have that was baby soft had turned to chiseled abs and the skin was still as soft as Sasuke remembered it. Naruto was the same yet different. As he must be to Naruto.

 

Naruto had so many questions. He wanted to know what Sasuke’s intentions were involving him. He had wanted for him to come back for so long and now that he had, he was unsure of where they stood. He knew that Sasuke loved him and he loved Sasuke. The problem was did they love each other enough to stay together this time.

 

“So what will happen now that you are here?” Naruto asked. It wasn’t quite the question he had in mind but he had to know what Sasuke was planning.

 

“Its better if you don’t ask questions unless they pertain to you and me.” Sasuke said. Naruto’s heart dropped a bit. That could only mean that Sasuke was going to do something that Naruto wouldn’t be pleased with.

 

“Okay, then what are your intentions with me? You are wanted here for murder and you can’t stay so where does that leave us?” Naruto asked.

 

Sasuke scowled as he looked at the blonde. That was a really good question although he had planned to take Naruto and leave this place. Now he wondered if it would be as easy as he had first thought.

 

“What would you say if I asked you to come with me and leave here?” Sasuke asked countering the blonde’s answer.

 

Naruto’s eyes widened as he thought about what sasuke was proposing. He would have to leave everything he knew and loved behind in this town. Would he be able to do that? The only other option was losing Sasuke once again and he didn’t know if his heart or sanity could take it.

 

“I would have to quit teaching. I would have to commit myself to living on the run with you, am I right?” Naruto asked.

 

Sasuke turned his head and looked away from the blonde to ponder the question. Yes he was on the run and nowhere was safe for too long. Sasuke had made it that way and he wondered how fair it would be to make Naruto take up that kind of life with him. He turned back to Naruto and sighed.

 

“Yes, you would have to give up your life as you know it. I am so sorry Naruto. I hadn’t thought of anything but getting back to you to take you with me and now here we are and I am now seeing the consequences behind that action.” Sasuke said and ran his hand through his hair in frustration.

 

“ I love you, Sasuke. If I do this, it is because I want to and I am not sure that I can live without you anymore. This past six years has been hell for me.” Naruto said a bit sadly.

 

Sasuke was out of his seat and next to Naruto in a second. He pulled Naruto out of his seat and into his arms. Naruto was all too happy to be held by him. He loved the feel of Sasuke’s strong arms around him. He lay his head on Sasuke’s shoulder and wondered if he could ever live without this again.

 

In that moment it was clear to him that he couldn’t. Sasuke was his everything just as he had been at fifteen. Nothing had changed except their appearance somewhat. Naruto shuddered and let out the pent up sob that was threatening to break free.

 

Sasuke pulled away to look at him and wondered what had caused it. The situation was grim at best. His eyes were wide as he saw the anguish in those big blue eyes. Naruto hung his head to hide from the stare and Sasuke took him back into his arms and held him as he cried for all he was worth.

 

“Naruto, I am sorry for the pain I am causing you. I shouldn’t have come back.” Sasuke said.

 

Naruto gripped Sasuke’s shirt tightly, afraid the Uchiha would pull away and abandon him again. Sasuke felt the motion and held Naruto tighter as well. Letting the blonde go would be hard and he didn’t think he had it in him to do it.

 

“Sasuke, you have no idea how happy I am that you came back. I have missed you so much. I am sad that I will have to give up my life but if it is for you, for us, then I can do it.” Naruto said thickly.

 

Sasuke gasped. He hadn’t realized that Naruto loved him that much but he was sure glad that he did. It made him smile and feel like he was finally complete. His blonde wanted him and that was all that mattered to him.
