So, on with the story, and I sincerely hope you all like it. Thanks for reading! You guys are great!

Chapter 7

Monday morning arrived, heralded by the trilling of the alarm clock on Sasuke’s bedside table. Naruto groaned and reached out, slapping the off button, refraining from throwing it across the room like he would have normally done. After all, it wasn’t his alarm.


He looked down at the black hair on his chest. Smiling, he nudged Sasuke lightly.


“Hey, sleepyhead…time to get up…”


“Mmm…No,” mumbled the dark haired boy.


“Well, that’s to bad. Do it anyways!” Naruto said, laughing softly.


“No, I don’t want to…”


“Well, I don’t want to be this charming and handsome, but we all have our burdens. Deal with it…”


Naruto laughed as Sasuke tickled him. He looked up at the blonde, his black eyes sparkling like onyx gems as he watched the blonde gasp for air, trying to grab Sasuke’s hands and stop the torture to his sides.


Sasuke slid his hands up the hard abs and chest, reaching out and caressing Naruto’s cheek. The blonde gazed back, blue eyes shining. Sasuke climbed up Naruto’s body, bending down to drop a kiss on the soft lips below him. The blonde smiled into Sasuke’s mouth, his arms wrapping around the pale waist, pulling Sasuke down onto him. Naruto slipped his tongue into Sasuke’s mouth, loving the quiet moans that came from the dark haired boy. Reluctantly, he broke the kiss and gently pushed Sasuke off of him.


“We really need to get ready for school. You remember school, right?”


Sasuke pouted. “I’d rather stay here all day…”


“Well, I’m not saying I don’t agree, but I am saying that it doesn’t change the fact that we do need to get ready…”


“Why do you have to make so much sense?”


“Just one of my gifts, I suppose.” Naruto smiled as he kissed Sasuke once more and swung his legs over the edge of the bed.


“Come on, we don’t want to be late, do we?” Sasuke frowned and flopped back on the bed. “What would the Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club say if you showed up late? They would probably riot and hunt you down.” Naruto laughed.


Sasuke jumped up from the bed and quickly swept the blonde up into a fierce hug.


“My fan club can kiss my ass. I want to stay right here, with you.” Sasuke trailed light kisses up the tanned neck, fingers tangling in blonde hair again.


Naruto grabbed Sasuke’s face and kissed him hard, distracting Sasuke enough to squirm out of his embrace.


“Okay, I agree with you. That does sound a lot better than school. But that still doesn’t change the fact that we have to go. We have homework to turn in today, and since I did it, I don’t relish the idea of getting a zero on it.” Sasuke shot him a glare, but shuffled to his bathroom to get ready. Naruto grabbed his towel and headed for the other shower, grinning.

They stood side by side at the counter, inhaling their bowls of cereal. They’d met up in Sasuke’s bedroom, each clad once again in the towel ensemble. Naruto had seen Sasuke’s hair, wet, a drop of water falling to trail down his spine. Unable to do anything but what his body told him it was going to do, he had grabbed Sasuke and thrown him on the bed, jumping up to straddle the dark haired boy and run his hands up and down the smooth skin, licking up the drops of water that remained.


Now they were running late, and were downing their respective breakfasts in record time. They set their bowls down and ran to grab their bags and head out.


As Naruto grabbed the doorknob, Sasuke grabbed him and kissed him deeply, running his tongue along the inside of the blonde’s mouth. Naruto kissed back eagerly, disappointed when Sasuke pulled away. Sasuke kissed him lightly one more time.


“What was that for?” Naruto smiled.


“I won’t get to do that again for longer than I care for. I just wanted something to think about for the rest of the day.”


Naruto’s heart caught in his chest. He looked at Sasuke, his blue eyes glittering.


“I’ll give you something to think about…” He pushed the dark haired boy against the wall and slid his hand down the front of Sasuke’s pants, causing Sasuke to moan his name loudly. He kissed the pale boy passionately, pressing his own body against Sasuke’s. He reached around and squeezed Sasuke’s ass, kissing him again.


“How’s that?” He stood back, admiring his work.


Sasuke leaned back against the wall, trying to catch his breath. His eyes were heavy-lidded with need. He glared at Naruto.


“That wasn’t fair.”


“Yeah, well, life isn’t…but it is something a lot better to think about, right?”


* * * * *


Naruto walked into the cafeteria at lunch and immediately moved towards his usual table. He was surprised to see Sakura sitting there, apparently waiting for him. When her green eyes met his blue, she crossed her arms and glared at him. He pulled out a chair and sat down.


“Hey, pretty lady! What’s going on?”


“Don’t pretty lady me! Where were you this morning?”


“Uh, at school?”


“Before that, you retard! I looked for you before class, like always, and no Naruto to be found! You’re always here early!”


“Sorry…I was just late…I got…sidetracked,” he mumbled as Sasuke pulled out the chair next to him and sat down.


“Hey, dobe.”


“Hey, jackass.”


“Nice to see you boys getting along, as always. Anyways, Naruto, I didn’t get the homework finished and---”


Naruto almost choked on his sandwich.


“YOU didn’t finish the homework? Sakura, honor student extraordinaire? What the hell were you up to this---?” Naruto’s eyes widened in remembrance of the conversation he had with his pink-haired friend on Friday. He grinned evilly at her.


“Ah, yes. How did your date go with Lee?”


Sakura blushed hard. “It was very nice.”


“Well, I should hope so. It obviously took up a great deal of your time if YOU didn’t do school work at all this weekend.” He raised his eyebrows at her, smirking.


“That’s none of your business. What were you doing? You always call me at least once during the weekend. Where the hell were you?”


Naruto glanced over at Sasuke, a light blush gracing his face.


“Uh, I was…a bit preoccupied.”


“Doing what, pray tell?”


“I made him clean my apartment.” Now it was Sasuke’s turn to smirk, his cheeks turning a bit pink as well.


“All weekend?” Sakura looked from one boy to the other. The boys looked at each other.


“It was really dirty, and HARD to clean.” Naruto glanced at Sasuke, grinning when the quiet boy coughed, choking on his lunch.


“It took a really LONG time.” Sasuke recovered quickly, eyes sparkling when Naruto almost spit his out his mouthful of milk.


Sakura shook her head. “You guys are so weird.”


Naruto felt Sasuke’s hand on his leg under the table. He smiled and intertwined his fingers with those on his leg, giving them a brief squeeze. He looked back at Sakura.


“Anyways, the date was good?”


She grinned. “It was. We’re going out again sometime this week.”


“Wow, that’s great Sakura!” He looked up behind her and grinned.


Lee leaned down and kissed her lightly on the cheek, placing a small bouquet of flowers on the table in front of her.


“Hi, Sakura. I had a great time this weekend. I just wanted to tell you again.”


She turned around in her chair and beamed at him.


“Thank you, Lee! These are beautiful! You didn’t have to do this!”


“Well, it makes me happy to see you smile, and my mother always told me that flowers were the perfect gift for your special person!” He beamed back at her as she leap up and threw her arms around him, kissing him on the cheek. She looked back at her friends.


“Well, I’ll see you guys later. I’d better finish those problems.”


“Oh, I’ll help you!” Lee smiled at her.


“Thanks! See you guys!” She slipped her hand into Lee’s and they walked off.


Sasuke watched Naruto as the blonde watched his friends leave. He squeezed the hand he was holding. Naruto looked back at him and smiled.


“I’m glad that they’re finally together. I knew it would happen sooner or later.”


“You did?” Sasuke raised an eyebrow.


“Oh, she got over you a long time ago, Uchiha!” Naruto’s eyes gleamed as Sasuke’s other hand came up to smack him in the arm. He looked off in the direction Lee and Sakura had gone.


“They seem really happy. I’m glad she finally found someone to make her smile.”


“That doesn’t happen very often?”


“Well, her home life isn’t the greatest, so this has to be good for her, to find someone so devoted to her. Lee really loves her.”


“They do seem happy. And all over each other.”


Naruto laughed. “Yeah, they were, weren’t they? But when you realize how you feel about someone, it’s kind of hard not to, you know?” He looked at Sasuke. Black eyes looked back him.


“I do know. But for us---” Sasuke glanced around and lowered his voice, “---For us it’s different. Our relationship isn’t one that will go over well here. I don’t like the idea of making our lives a living hell having to deal with all the ignorant people around.”


“I know…but how am I supposed to go all day without…you?” Naruto looked up at him, the corners of his mouth lifting in a small smile.


“Well…I do have an idea…meet me in the boiler room in five minutes.”


“But, it’s always locked!”


“But I am part of student leadership, and we get keys to use classrooms when we need them, so meet me there in five…” He looked at Naruto meaningfully.


Naruto scanned the cafeteria, watching all of his fellow students talking, yelling, and eating. ~If only they had any idea.~ He turned to Sasuke again, his eyes filling with lust.


“Five minutes. Get going.”
