Chapter 6: Happy Birthday… To Me

“So what’d you get him?” Kiba nudged Naruto hard. Naruto glared at him before shoving back.

“Don’t push, baka. And I got Sasuke-teme that new ninja game!”

“What?! How’d you get that? It doesn’t come out for another 3 weeks!” Tenten whined, unhappy. She loved that game and was counting down the days until she could pick up the one she’d preordered!

“…Naruto…has a friend who works at the game store,” Shino’s whisper made everyone look at him with a sweat drop on their head, except for Naruto who nodded.

“Troublesome,” sighed Shikamaru. Choji, who was stuffing his face with chips nodded in agreement. Naruto grinned, he had the best (and the strangest) friends ever. Speaking of friends, they were on their way to see his best-friend Sasuke, who was having a huge 18th party to celebrate his 18th birthday.

All of his friends were coming, even Gaara, Kankuro and Temari who lived in another country for crying out loud. (Even though Naruto was completely ignorant of it – Gaara couldn’t care less about Sasuke, but he did want to see his good friend Naruto, so it was worth a plane ticket and a random gift.)

Soon they all arrived at the gate of the Uchiha family estate, where the gatekeeper quickly let them in recognizing them as friends of the young-master. They walked, talking and laughing up the driveway to the front door where they were ushered to a den/living room, decked out lavishly for the party. Naruto stared in shock. He had of course been in this room before, but never like this.

On one side there was a long table covered with food, treats and on the end a massive birthday cake. There were several tables in the center already set up with plates of chips and dip and bottles of soda. Sasuke’s state of the art entertainment system with widescreen plasma HD TV was already set up with his game systems. Streamers and balloons hung from the walls, making the air dance with color. A small pile of presents from the people who had already arrived were lying on another small circular table in one corner of the room. Hearing voices in the hall, Sasuke left the room where he had been talking to someone (guess who! XP) and gave them a small smirk.

Naruto wasted no time launching himself into the air at his best friend.

“Wa-wait a moment, Naruto!” Sasuke only watched in shock, though he should have known it was coming, as Naruto glomped him and flattened him to the floor.

“Happy birthday TEME!!” Sasuke groaned, rubbing the back of his head as he glared, though only a little, at his best friend.

“Thanks, dobe… Now would you mind getting off of me and not trying to kill me every time you see me by squashing me?”

“Hmph!!” Naruto sulked as he got off, crossing his arms before giving Sasuke an adorable pout, which Sasuke couldn’t resist. He rolled his eyes and Naruto beamed at him. Then he turned his attention to the people already in the room.

“Oi! Neji, Hinata, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro! What’s up?!” He happily gave them all hugs, much to Hinata’s embarrassment, Temari and Kankuro’s amusement, and Gaara and Neji’s pleasure.

“Hello, Naruto. How are you?” Neji asked politely, with a small softening of his eyes. They all adored their blond firecracker that was perpetually amusing and at the same time warm like the sun.

“Good! You? How’s school? You and your uncle getting along?” The friends began to intermingle, dropping their gifts on the table while happily talking among themselves. And while it was Sasuke’s birthday, Naruto was the center of attention, talking to everyone and lightening everyone’s heart. Sasuke, for his part, being a quiet sort of person, was happy to let Naruto do the talking while he basked in his glow.

None of them noticed a tall, dark haired figure eyeing Naruto with interest from the side of the room, near the doorway. His dark eyes glittered with amusement at Naruto’s antics while musing on how easily he brought even Sasuke, Neji and Gaara out of their shells to smile and laugh with him. Finally, the shadow turned and returned to his rooms.

After a happy lunch they all played games for a while until they got bored of that and Sasuke led them to his glass-enclosed pool. The party then began in earnest as they all (except Neji and Gaara) plunged in and began to swim or play water-volleyball.

“OUCH! Itai! Hey Kiba, that hurt!” Naruto gasped. They had been playing volleyball and Kiba, not paying any attention to his surroundings, smashed into Naruto crushing him against the corner of the pool.

“Naruto! Are you alright?” Sasuke from the other side, swam under the net and rushed over to his side. Gaara and Neji stood up as well and wandered over to them. Blood quickly suffused into the water.

“Naru-Naruto-kun!” Hinata gasped. When Kiba had pushed Naruto back, he hadn’t been expecting the hit and had rammed his knee, cutting it on the edge of one of the water vents embedded in the side of the pool.

“Hey, Naruto. Come out of the water, you’ve got to get that bandaged.” Neji stretched a hand out to Naruto, glaring slightly at Kiba.

“Naruto, Naruto hey! I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there at all!” Kiba was horrified, he hadn’t meant to hurt Naruto!

“Oi, oi! Stop fussing you mother-hens.” Naruto rolled his eyes at them all before pushing himself out of the water. The cut on his leg continued to bleed until he carefully pushed a towel against it. “Look, I’ll just go clean it and then get a bandage and I’ll be right back. Keep going without me.” Sasuke put his hands on the side of the pool.

“Here, at least let me take you.” Naruto reached over and before Sasuke could get out, pushed him under, he came up sputtering.

“NARUTO!” Naruto snickered. Kiba quickly moved to Naruto’s other side.

“I’ll go, it was my fault. Let me just-”

“An opening!” Naruto grinned with glee, grabbing both Gaara and Neji’s arms and before they could stop him, shoved them in right on top of the hapless Kiba. Ino and Sakura who had been watching shrieked with laughter while Sasuke and the rest just sighed and shook their heads.

“NARUTO!” Three voices echoed Sasuke only to find that the perpetrator had snuck out of the room after slipping on his shirt and sandals.

After wandering around a bit, and for some reason not finding any of the Uchiha’s numerous servants, Naruto began to rethink his bravado. Where was that damn master bathroom where they kept a first-aid box?! Naruto had gotten into enough scrapes, even here, to know where it was – though apparently not enough to know where that particular bathroom was. Damn, rich people and their ridiculous houses that are more like mazes!!

Finally, he noticed an open door with classical music coming out. Ah! I can ask for help from whomever is in there. Hobbling over to the door, Naruto slowly pushed it open and glanced around. The music was coming from another room and Naruto wandered towards the open doorway. Poking his head in, Naruto’s breath was promptly knocked from his body in a way that had nothing to do with the aching pain in his knee.

There was a man lying on the bed, and he was… perfect. He wore no shirt, only black pants covering his long, lean muscular legs. His chest was perfectly toned and gleamed with muscles. His skin, pale ivory, trademark of the Uchiha line, stood out starkly against the blood red sheets he lay in. The man’s face was slightly bent down to examine the screen of his laptop which he held in his lap.

But Naruto could see enough to make him flush. The man’s face was thin, with high aristocratic cheek-bones, thin lips and long raven-black hair that draped seductively over his shoulders, loose to his shoulder blades. His eyes were lowered but even from that position, Naruto could see that they were dark ebony jet, deep and charismatic. It was the man’s facial structure, pale skin and dark eyes that snapped Naruto’s thoughts into reality.

Waaaiiit a second… Man Lying Comfortably in Uchiha Suite of Rooms + Man Who Looks Like Sasuke + Man Who Has Sasuke’s Face Only Sexier + Man is About 23 = Man Must Be Older Brother That Sasuke Always Talks About = Man Who Sasuke Admires = Man Who Sasuke Said Was Coming Home for Break From College = This Must Be That Man = Itachi Uchiha Naruto’s blue eyes widened at the little equation in his mind and just as he was about to back out slowly, Itachi looked up.

If Naruto thought that Itachi’s eyes were beautiful when they were lowered, they were nothing short of captivating when he looked up at him. Time seemed to freeze for a few moments as they examined one another, until Itachi’s eyes which had been trailing down Naruto’s body, stopped at the sight of a bloody blue towel tied around his knee.

Closing his laptop and setting it aside, he stood and focused more closely on the wound. It must be fairly deep for it to be bleeding so heavily as to soak through the towel. He frowned deeper at that train of thought. Naruto, slightly panicky at the sight of the frown began to stammer,

“Uh, uh! Sorry! Gomen nasai! I didn’t know this was your room! I was just looking for the main bathroom and the first aid kit! I’ll get out right now!” Naruto turned as quickly as he could and tried to hobble out but was stopped on his bare shoulder by a firm hand.

“Don’t worry about it. Its fine, the door was open.” Itachi’s voice spilled like warm honey over Naruto’s spine making him tremble slightly inside. “We should look at that. It’s bleeding too heavily to be a simple cut.” He pointed at the knee, to which Naruto could only nod. Itachi led Naruto over to a chair and sat him down before lifting his leg onto a foot cushion. Walking away, he came back wearing (to Naruto’s immediately-squashed disappointment) a black silk shirt, which Naruto admitted looked just as good on him as his bare skin, and carrying a first-aid kit. Setting it down he carefully unwrapped the towel.

The cut that was revealed made Itachi frown with concern. It was a long cut and while not as deep as Itachi feared, it was almost six inches long on the outer side of Naruto’s left knee and it bled profusely.

“How did this happen?” Itachi inquired quietly while using clean gauze to apply pressure and slow the bleeding.

“Ah, we were playing water-volleyball and I accidentally scraped it against one of the vents in the corner of the pool’s side,” Naruto answered sheepishly. Itachi made a mental note to tell the servants to have the vent’s edges better covered immediately, nodding to Naruto’s answer. “By the way, my name is Naruto Uzumaki! I’m in your brother’s class… Um, ano… You are Itachi right?” Itachi looked up at Naruto with a small smile.

“Yes, gomen ne for not introducing myself. I’m Uchiha Itachi, I’m 23 and at Tokyo University right now.” Naruto nodded enthusiastically.

“Yep! Sasuke talks about you all the time! I feel like I know you already because he constantly goes on about you.” Naruto rolled his eyes. “Sheesh! But still, um, congratulations on being valedictorian. I really liked your speech,” Naruto rubbed the back of his head shyly.

Itachi looked up at Naruto, remembering now where he had first seen Naruto. Sasuke and his father and mother had come to their graduation, and since Naruto was his brother’s best friend, he had come too because he had never seen Tokyo University before. He’s grown since then, Itachi mused, still holding the gauze while examining the young man fidgeting in front of him.

Now 18 himself, Naruto attracted more than his fair share of female (and male) admirers. He was muscular, and while being a little on the short side, was a bit slender though solid, almost effeminate in his narrow hips. He had gloriously golden tan skin that matched his soft golden mop of hair that framed his rounded face. Currently wearing only a shirt and his swim trunks, Itachi could easily admire his legs and muscular arms. He also had the most beautiful eyes Itachi had ever seen. They were wider than normal for his age and stunningly blue, the color that the sky was on a perfect day. They were endless and Itachi found himself happily drowning in them. Naruto, under Itachi’s strong perusal, had an adorable blush on his cheeks, because as his friends knew, he was gay.

Itachi finally looked away, focusing again on the finally cleaned cut. Carefully picking a tube of the strongest antiseptic, he carefully smeared some on his fingers.

“Naruto, this will sting a bit. Sorry.” Naruto nodded, understanding. Even still, he hissed slightly as Itachi’s gentle fingers dabbed it into the cut, making sure to get the entire length of it clean and covered. Afterwards, Itachi covered it with a long clean bandage, binding it comfortably. Naruto grinned at him, prompting a completely unintentional smile back, which startled Itachi with the ease of its appearance.

Naruto truly had a way of enticing people to smile with him if nothing else. Trying to stand up quickly before his traitorous body gave him away, he faltered on his weakened knee and instead ended up in Itachi’s strong arms. Naruto flushed and stuttered his apology, trying to scramble away before Itachi noticed his growing erection. But Itachi wasn’t a genius for nothing and he smiled at feeling Naruto’s hardening member against his thigh. Smirking slightly, he rubbed his knee against it making him gasp.

“My, Naruto-kun… You see to be having a problem walking. Let me help you,” Itachi whispered before scooping up the young man and depositing him directly into his bed. No I’m dreaming. My best-friends-hot-brother did not just put me in his bed. No this is definitely a dream. I’m bleeding in some hallway and obviously having a blood-loss induced hallucination, Naruto assured himself and was abruptly jarred out that line of thought by a handsome chest moving over him as Itachi reached for the phone. Naruto could barely contain his drool. Picking up the phone, Itachi dialed the number for the pool side phone and waited a few minutes until Sasuke picked up.

“Hello?”

“Otouto.”

“Itachi-nii-san? What’s wrong?”

“I found your friend wandering around and treated his knee. He needs to rest from losing so much blood.”

“Is he okay, can I talk to him? Where is he?”

“Otouto, he’s resting now. I’ll send him back once I’m satisfied. It wouldn’t look very good if one of your guests dropped dead now would it?”

“No… What guest room is he in?”

“…Stay with your friends, it’s your party and you are host.”

“Alright, alright.”

“He’ll only need an hour or so. Don’t disturb him,” Itachi said sternly.

“Fine.” Itachi hung up before looking down into Naruto’s wide surprised eyes. “Well, now that no one is expecting you for an hour or so, shall I help you take care of that problem of yours?”

“P-prob-lem? Heh heh! My knee feels fine now, really it-” Naruto moaned as Itachi cut him off by brushing his hard body against his arousal.

“No. That problem,” Itachi murmured huskily into Naruto’s ear. Naruto shivered. Itachi knew from Sasuke that Naruto was gay. He had mentioned it and Itachi had filed it away for future reference, and now here was a chance to take advantage of it!

“Ita-tachi-san, I don’t think that-” This time, Itachi cut him off with a heated kiss. Naruto moaned into it, he tasted like wild mint and new peaches. Naruto on the other hand much to Itachi’s delight tasted like spicy cinnamon and rich chocolate. Itachi quickly forced Naruto’s tongue into submission and set about mapping Naruto’s mouth with his before he pulled away to breathe. They stared at each other a moment panting before Itachi lowered his head again this time to kiss and lick Naruto’s tan neck much to his pleasure.

Itachi’s hands weren’t idle and he gracefully stroked Naruto’s abdominal muscles before sliding lower to run a hand over his cock. Naruto arched into the touch making Itachi smirk. Before long Itachi reared back, making Naruto whimper and reach for him. Itachi quickly shrugged off his clothing, before resting himself between the younger man’s thighs and rubbing his arousal against Naruto’s through his trunks.

Back at the pool, Sasuke looked suspiciously at the silent phone. No, it couldn’t be that… Sasuke shrugged before walking back and jumping into the water, but the nagging sensation didn’t leave him.

Itachi placed heated kisses all down his bare chest, licking a small path to his dusky nipples, smirking at the squeak he elicited when he took one in his mouth. He sucked on the hardening nub, lavishing his tongue on it enjoying the cry of pleasure mixed with pain when he nipped it. After making sure both were red and sensitive from his attentions he began to drift downwards towards Naruto’s trunks. Naruto began to pant harder and harder as Itachi gripped his waistband with his teeth and pulled the trunks down before slipping them off his legs.

Itachi leaned back again and Naruto moaned at the loss of his warmth on top of him, but he wasn’t long disappointed as Itachi happily dipped his head between Naruto’s legs to kiss the head of his cock. Naruto arched with a scream unable to stand even the slight sensation. Itachi held him down firmly as began to place feather light licks up and down his sensitive shaft. Naruto twisted and writhed unable to stand the pleasure and at the same time needing more of it. Itachi smiled silkily up at the 18 year old under him before nipping his foreskin making Naruto screech. Itachi couldn’t help but let out a chuckle before slipping his mouth completely over his cock.

“Ngghhh! It-tttacchi! STOP! Oh, Kami… Pleas-eee it’s too much!” Naruto begged helplessly as his body shook with Itachi’s intense suction and his teasing tongue. Itachi ignored him completely and instead punished him by humming causing vibrations to run up his length and bringing him to his peak. “Haaha! Gaahh! Itachi! Itachi, I’m going to comeeee!” Naruto wailed as his hands tangled in Itachi’s dark hair as he came down Itachi’s throat. Itachi slowly pulled away letting Naruto slip from his mouth a thin trail of seed and saliva connecting his lips to Naruto’s still hard cock.

“Well, that was refreshing wasn’t it.” Naruto could only stare at him. “Want to return the favor?” Itachi purred at Naruto who flushed brightly unable to stop himself from glancing down at the thick cock between his best-friend’s brother’s legs. Flushing slightly, he crawled forward, party forgotten, as Itachi leaned back into the pillows to allow him access. Slowly, Naruto raised a hand and wrapped it around his cock. It was a lot warmer than he expected and much thicker.

Slowly he began to stroke the organ and Itachi let out a small hissing moan. Feeling a bit bolder, Naruto continued to stroke him before he slowly eased his mouth over his head. Itachi slid his hand through the thick blond locks of the young man between his legs pushing him forward a little. Naruto slid forward on his cock and began to suck in earnest. He had ever given head before but he was determined to do his best. He bobbed his head back and forth on Itachi’s hard cock eliciting a groan from the older man.

Naruto grinned and decided to try something that he had seen in a yaoi porn video a friend (Kiba of course) had bought him for his birthday accompanied with much ribbing. Popping the cock out of his mouth he slowly, he shifted pushing Itachi back a little more with his shoulder and hesitantly ran his tongue over Itachi’s puckered opening. Itachi shuddered.

He hadn’t thought that the cute little blond fox between his legs was experienced but… Fuck! Itachi’s hands closed reflexively on the sheets, clenching and unclenching. Naruto, encouraged at the tremble in Itachi’s body, he began to increase the pace of his lapping while stroking his burgeoning member.

Itachi’s balls began to tighten and before he could grab control of himself, he spilled white seed from his jerking cock over Naruto’s face and bare back. Naruto sat back slightly, feeling oddly pleased with himself, that he could bring this beautiful man to his peak. He licked his lips of Itachi’s seed, enjoying the slightly musky taste. Itachi basked in the slight after-glow of his orgasm before staring at the pretty blond.

“I didn’t know you were so experienced, otherwise I would have approached you sooner.” Itachi leaned his beautiful body over Naruto’s tan one making him flush.

“No-no rea-lly! I’m not experienced. It was just something that I saw-saw in a film,” Naruto whispered looking away in embarrassment. “I-I just wanted to see if you would like it…” Itachi chuckled making Naruto look up in surprise, smiling he brushed his lips over Naruto’s swollen ones.

“Well you must be a natural.” Naruto turned red before Itachi descended him on him again smirking. “That being said, lets see how much of a natural lover you are.” Naruto flushed even redder if it was humanly possible as Itachi rolled off of him and going into the large bathroom he came back out carrying a jar of Vaseline.

Itachi smirked throwing it at Naruto who caught it slightly curious. Itachi smirked at the innocent face he made. Ahhhh. Guess he’s not as experienced as I thought at all. How…kawaii. Itachi coolly slid into the bed leaning into the pillows with a languish grace that made Naruto tremble.

“Well? Let’s see you prepare yourself for me.” Itachi grinned at the shock on Naruto’s face. Naruto blushed looking at the Vaseline unscrewing the top. He slid his fingers into the jar covering them before sitting up onto his lower legs, spreading them. Itachi smiled at the sight, his own cock jerking and twitching to the sight. Naruto slowly put one finger by his puckered entrance and slid the digit in. Itachi watched with intense pleasure as the young man slid his fingers in and out of his body before slowly adding another.

He slowly spread his fingers apart with a thin hiss of pleasure and pain as he stretched his opening. Naruto slowly added a third finger and began to pump himself. Itachi watched at Naruto’s flushed and panting face, his body jerking as he thrust his fingers home deeper and deeper. Finally, Itachi had had enough. Grabbing Naruto’s wrist he yanked his hand out eliciting a cry of disappointment. Itachi didn’t give him even a moment to mourn the loss before he felt Itachi slid a greased finger into Naruto’s ass, taking over for Naruto.

“So tight, little Naruto. You need something up this weeping hole don’t you?” Itachi licked and blew into the shell of his ear while Naruto groaned. “Tell me what you want, Na-ru-to. Tell me.”

“Pleaasse! Put it in me!” Itachi looked down at the panting blond who was greedily riding his fingers.

“What? Put what in?” Itachi teased the shell of Naruto’s ear with his tongue.

“Please… FUCK ME!” Naruto wailed at the pleasure that built and built but didn’t quite reach the peak. Itachi nodded his agreement and flipping Naruto around and slammed him back down against the bed. Gripping his knees he pushed his legs back.

“Hold your legs behind the knee and keep them spread.” Naruto flushed and did so as best he could. “Hold them steady,” Itachi coaxed and Naruto nodded with a blush. Itachi smeared more Vaseline over his penis before he prodded his puckered opening. He smiled at the mewling noise Naruto made as he carefully began to push in inch by inch. Naruto trembled and bucked at the pressure rapidly building in his body.

“Harder! Please Itachi! Don’t tease me,” Naruto begged shamelessly. Itachi, barely able to restrain himself anymore either, and leaning back he pushed his hips back before thrusting forward. Naruto arched his back and screamed with pleasure and pain. Itachi expertly mixed heavy deep thrusts with shallower quick thrusts that made Naruto shake and moan with the enjoyment of it.

“So-so fucking tight Naruto!” Itachi growled his pleasure at his little blond fuck toy, “I’m going to fuck your ass raw!” Naruto groaned and wrapped his legs around Itachi’s narrow waist and lifted his hips in invitation of a deeper fuck. Itachi increased his pace slamming into the best friend of his little brother. And speaking of him… Itachi wrapped his arms around Naruto’s ass and lifted him, standing, driving him farther onto his hardness. Naruto opened his mouth with a short scream.

“It-Itachi! Wh-what are yo-you- ahhhhh!!” Naruto found himself slammed against a wall and began to slowly pull his dripping rod out inch by inch. Naruto tried frantically to hold the cock inside of him and writhed in disappointment when he couldn’t. With painstaking strokes, Itachi tortured Naruto by sliding in and out. Itachi’s thickly veined cock was covered with the juices Naruto was producing and his cock was dripping with seed.

“St-ttopp teasing and fuck me hardeeeerrr!” Naruto bucked crazily trying to get to Itachi’s cock.

“As you wish!” Naruto didn’t even have the time to scream as Itachi rammed full length into his prostrate. Thrust after thrust, Itachi pounded into the teen’s tight hole. Reaching down with his other hand, Itachi torturously stroked Naruto’s cock in long hard even strokes. As they neared climax Naruto and Itachi could feel white hot fires scorching their skin and with a last hard stroke Itachi brought them both to climax. Naruto screamed and came coating seed over both of their chests.

Slowly bit by bit, Itachi slid to the floor cradling Naruto in his lap.

“Am-amaz-amazing…” Naruto whimpered and laid his head into the crook of Itachi’s neck.

“Hmmm... I agree completely,” Itachi smiled and shared a soft kiss with the young blond. “You should get cleaned up… If you don’t hurry your friends will become suspicious.” Naruto looked up in surprise and then his eyes widened in shock.

“Gah! They’re going to be suspicious, shimmatta!! What am I going to do?!!”

“Tell them you fell asleep.”

“No, no! What am I- Huh?”

“Tell them you feel asleep.”

“Oh. Yeah! Great idea!” Naruto tried to get up and instead fell flat on his ass as his spinal cord screamed. “Owwwww!”

“Ah. Yes, you are going to be sore.” Itachi nodded as he stood comfortably. Naruto glared at him and Itachi smiled before gently scooped him up, bridal style. He took Naruto into the bathroom and put him into a hot bath to let him soak. Turning Itachi glanced at the door of his bedroom, which was cracked open – he looked back at the bed hiding his smirk. He heard the staggering steps of his otouto as he stumbled to the door from where he’d been hiding.

He heard the front door of his suite open and then slam shut and he smirked. Oh, you are very bad little brother, spying on me and Naruto like that. He had known when Sasuke, undoubtedly out of concern for his friend had entered the room and hidden watching him fuck his own best-friend senseless. That had been one of his motivations for taking Naruto to the wall, though hardly the only one.

Naruto hobbled out complaining to Itachi who smiled and gave a gentle back rub as they dressed and Itachi led him through the endless maze of hallways back to the party room. Naruto was greeted with concerned cheers and they quickly accepted his excuse of having fallen asleep. For some reason Naruto couldn’t understand though, Sasuke wouldn’t meet his eyes and would instead blush slightly and look sideways.

Naruto shrugged it off and the party progressed to it’s completion after the opening of gifts and a impromptu (started by Naruto of course) birthday cake fling fight which was instigated when Naruto happily flung a piece of the chocolate cake straight into Sasuke’s face. A few hours later after more games and laughter, the tired young men and women wished Sasuke a good night and happy birthday and began to make their ways home.

Itachi caught up to Naruto just as he was about to leave and pulled him into a nearby corner kissing him breathless.

“Don’t think we’re finished Naruto-kun. I’m far from finished with you.” Naruto flushed red and kissed him back before scuttling out the door. Sasuke rolled his eyes having seen the little display. Ah great… Another headache to deal with.

~A Few Days Later~
Sasuke stared at the shelves near the front door where daily shoes were put and frowned, shaking his head.

“I’d like to know why Naruto is at my house before I am. Though I suppose I could hazard a guess,” Sasuke muttered under his breath before depositing his shoes next to his best-friends. Sighing he walked up the stairs to his rooms, passing his aniki’s as he did so and was not at all surprised to hear Naruto moaning and screaming his brother’s name. He rolled his eyes. And it was my birthday too.

~End Chapter 6~
