Just a bit of smut and more of Sasuke's possessive streak...nyan! Next chapter is well on its way... and I will be able to update soon... nyan! Here's the next installment of this story.


Chapter 7: A Hardheaded Fox

Naruto nuzzled Sasuke’s shirt as he made his way into their room. Getting his snoozing dobe into bed was his first concern and returning to talk to Kakashi, his second.

On the way back, he’d tired of herding his blonde sleepwalker in the right direction and had simply gathered him up and taken to the roofs.

‘It was much easier than dealing with a clingy dobe who insists on trying to climb all over you, grumbling he is tired.’ He groused under his breath. Carrying his lover around seemed to be slowly turning into a habit.

‘One I’m not likely to protest ever.’ He thought with a satisfied grin; bringing Naruto’s body closer. Holding his dobe close eased a previously unknown craving for warmth and intimacy. It somehow made him feel complete in a way that was anything but rational.

Placing the blonde over their futon, he straightened the blankets and tucked him in. Leaning back, his eyes were involuntarily compelled to practice what was quick becoming his new pastime: watching Naruto.

Silently, he studied thick, golden lashes where they lay fanned across tanned cheeks. His curious gaze skimmed down gently sloping nose, tanned and flat cheekbones before being drawn by rosy lips.

He could remember how good those same lips felt wrapped around his heated flesh last night. He shivered, repressing a groan, as his body reacted to his memories. His eyes resumed their perusal traveling around a firm chin before gliding over a tan forehead and thin blonde brows slashing over it.

Watching Naruto lax features while he slept filled his soul with awe. This loving business was really strange, scary actually. Revenge was no longer his #1 priority; instead making sure his dobe was healthy and happy filled his hours with concern.

There was nothing in his past that could have prepared him for the wealth of feeling that rose to his chest every time he heard Naruto’s laughter or felt his touch. In his short foray on the experience department there was only one name that fit every nuance of this painfully bright emotion inside his heart: happiness.

He vaguely remembered watching something close to this feeling clearly written on his parents’ expression in those rare moments they thought themselves unobserved.

‘Am I happy?’ He asked himself all of a sudden and was incredibly surprised with the strength of his answer. Yes, he was; unexpectedly so. He paused wondering at his sudden insight.

He chuckled ruefully, pushing back his dobe’s moist hair. ‘Koi, I owe you so very much… You’ve completed me, taught me how to love. God! He’s so handsome.’ He thought helplessly, drinking Naruto’s sleeping face, which disclosed unpredicted vulnerability.

His protective feelings clamored to the surface as his heart froze thinking what he would do if anything untoward happened to his golden lover. Sasuke eyed Naruto worriedly, watching him snore softly. He dreaded the moment Tsunade returned either of them to active status. His mind knew a shinobi’s life was fraught with danger and death, yet his heart rebelled, wanting to keep his dobe’s innocence intact.

His skin broke into sweat as his mind was suddenly assaulted by visions of a blood-soaked Naruto lying unconscious before his doorstep.

He shook his head trying to clear it. It didn’t bear thought, he decided. If he lost Naruto, he would turn against everything and everybody; without him by his side, there was no reason to keep on living.

‘Stop that Sasuke. You are turning into a sentimental fool! Nothing’s going to happen, idiot! We will take care of our dobe with these two hands! It’s the Uchiha’s nindo, remember? Protect our loved ones even at the risk of our lives.’ he berated himself as Naruto moaned, turning in his sleep and kicking away the blankets that covered his body.

Panting slightly, he tugged at his collar helplessly as one seeking relief from the heat. That reminded Sasuke of Naruto’s training session. Worried, he removed the blanket to help him undress.

‘I’d better give him a sponge bath, while I’m at it. He’s been sweating too much lately and I don’t want to have him catching a cold on top of everything else.’ He thought with a worried frown as his fingers closed around the zipper tab. His eyes widened in realization.

‘Ooohhh… great idea, Uchiha! That way we can practice both our favorite past-time and our favorite perversion without worrying about interfering, shy blondes!’ An amused snort escaped his chest and he bit his lips to repress his urge to giggle. A deeply exhausted and sleeping Naruto meant he could do many, many things without worrying about his lover’s shyness.

Ecstatic with his sudden windfall, he bent to remove the orange and black jacket, frowning as he exposed humid skin. Considering the amount of sweat absorbed by his jacket lining, he’d been training like a dog for more than hour with over 5 clones.

‘Knowing you, I’d say it was around 10. Sheez, dobe! You are going to be the death of me!’ he grimaced. Pulling on the zipper, he lowered it slowly, teasing himself. Inch by delectable inch of cinnamon colored skin was uncovered.

Lazily pushing open the offending jacket, he gazed at supple skin and dusky nipples that rose to attention as they came in contact with cold air.

Naruto’s musky scent rose to tease his nostrils and he stiffened, desire hitting him hard. Anticipation sent shivers down his spine as he removed the garment hurriedly. Once done, he balled it carelessly before throwing it into the corner to be washed later.

Taking care to assure himself his blonde was at least marginally more comfortable, he went into the kitchen to fetch a bowl filled with lukewarm water. Going through the familiar motions helped him regain a measure of calm while controlling his anger. Water overflowed while he nodded, deep in thought.

He was angry at his lover’s disregard for his own health. He would bet his house that the reason behind Naruto’s extreme fatigue and pallor was his lover’s extreme overzealousness regarding training. In the past weeks, he’d tried to be understanding and supportive of his dobe. Today, he was truly upset. After all, his lover had chosen to disregard his concern and pushed himself way past the limits of endurance. It was a miracle the blonde man hadn’t realized the true extent of the power he held over his heart. It only took a look to turn his righteous anger into fond disgruntlement.

‘Tch, dobe… Those eyes are my perdition and you know that only too well.’ He groused, remembering the guileless expression his dobe used whenever he wanted to distract him. It was the same this afternoon when he found him curled at the fence grimacing with pain.

‘Sometimes you are too cunning for your own good, dobe. I promise I will get to the bottom of this, one way or the other. I will help you regain your strength. You’ll see.’ He promised silently making his way back with the filled water-basin.

Once in the room, he knelt beside their futon. Thinking of that word ‘their’ made him smile with warmth and possessiveness. This splendid half-naked creature sprawled comfortably atop his bedding was utterly his. Leaning forward, he unbuckled his dobe’s pants with shaking hands.

‘Get a grip, stupid! You’ve seen him naked before… heck you’ve sunk into his body more times than you can remember! There is no need to feel like this.’ His proud Uchiha self stated caustically as he undressed his lover with trembling hands.

‘Sure, but he’s never allowed us to take a good look! Last time I checked Sharingan vision didn’t include infrared vision, so yes, I am nervous because this is a totally new sight for me!’ His Uchiha ecchi-ness replied, disrobing his lover’s remaining items of clothing like a kid does a birthday gift: carefully, quick and full of eagerness.

Guiding flexible limbs out of his pants proved to be quite an easy task, for he was underweight. Lifting bony hips with little effort, he slid down his pants, taking his underwear with it and tossing it into a corner. Soon enough his dobe was completely naked under his heated gaze.

He would use the pretense of a sponge bath to examine his dobe’s body to his heart’s delight, watching his reactions. Finding his lover’s sensitive spots was a life mission Sasuke took to heart with the same diligence he did everything else. Unable to contain his excitement, he stared at his handiwork. His dobe was completely naked, his golden skin bathed in light and shadows.

He frowned. Such a beauty shouldn’t hide under shadow. Pensive, he gazed at the inner courtyard partition and back to his dobe. A wicked smile bloomed over his lips and he stood. Crossing the room, he slid open the door letting sunlight inside.

He’d decided. Forget about the consequences, this time, Uchiha Sasuke would look his fill of his lover’s body, no more tentative touches and hidden caresses. Even if Konohagakure didn’t want to see them as a couple, he did; getting to know his lover’s body was his responsibility for he was accountable for his dobe’s pleasure. It was his job and he was nothing if not through!

‘Oh, shut up! You know you are just dying to see him naked where you can see and touch him. That’s all. Give in to your perversion, Teme!’ his inner Sasuke goaded impatiently.

During the past few weeks, his lover had somehow become extremely body conscious and was not happy when his hands tried to explore with too much freedom. He was tired of being restricted and redirected every time. All he wanted was to do was taste Naruto’s essence!

His body hardened swiftly as he thought of wrapping his tongue around Naruto’s hardness. The strength of his need left him breathless and in pain.

Carefully, as not to disturb him, he moved the futon closer to the shoji, his heart beating a mile a minute. Anticipation made him hard and he moved stealthily, cursing himself every time he jostled his sleeping lover.

‘Pervert, if he awakens, you are dead!’ he warned himself starting an absurd dialogue to soothe his frazzled nerves.

‘He won’t! The fox’s hibernating!’ his inner self replied jokingly, for Naruto’s slumber was deep enough to seem like it.

‘Maybe in winter farther up north where its cold but not in Konoha at the beginnings of autumn where it’s humid and hot, you jerk! And by the way, he’s not a fox… he is foxy, as in sexy which is different. Got it? Also, he’s mine!’ he reasoned, unable to stifle his possessiveness from staking his claim.

‘Same thing! He’s mine too, idiot! We are one! Careful, careful… put him down!’ A warning.

‘Is he moving? Did he wake up?’ A query.

‘No… all’s clear. Let the games begin!’ A happy cry.

He settled his lover near the door, where a nice warm breeze blew. Naruto purred with relief and shifted his hips, showcasing his flaccid cock.

Sasuke’s mouth watered as his hands flew to cover his nose quickly. Surely he was suffering a nosebleed! If this was not a nosebleed-worthy moment, he was damned if he knew what was! This was his dream come true! Naruto on his futon: sleeping, healthy, fully naked, unaware and completely vulnerable under his gaze!

‘Gods, if this is a dream please don’t wake me!’ he wailed, suddenly glad to be alive and kicking.

‘See what you would have missed if Naruto hadn’t saved you from the snake? Teme!’ he rebuked himself.

Sitting back to observe, he inspected his territory with care, relishing the panoramic view currently exposed to his avid gaze.

Naruto laid face up, arms spread away from his body as his legs crossed teasingly to the side. Sasuke’s cock twitched and he smiled.

“Tch! Stupid fox… I told you not to overdo it! I want to make love to you and you are all out of it… Yup, I’ve chosen your punishment, dobe. You will let your beloved Sas’ke-chan explore to his little’s hearts content all your nooks and crannies and you won’t say a word. Agreed? I promise you will like it, dobe… Good, I knew you would prove to be reasonable, Naruto.” he whispered, taking in the relaxed muscles and snoozing features with predatory intent.

Grabbing the wet cloth, he carefully sponged down Naruto’s sweaty body; using the cloth to explore every inch of skin, searching for previously unexplored areas. Humid bronze skin rose in goosebumps under his scrutiny, before he ran a wet towel over his lover’s chest, carefully skirting around Naruto’s pert nipples.

Recently those had gotten so sensitive he was able to give his dobe a truly intense orgasm just by sucking them. He smiled wondering if he should do that to awaken him.

‘Nah, too early… we’ll think of something good. Let’s just explore for a while.’ He moved his cloth slowly downwards.

The afternoon’s cheerful light allowed him to see his dobe’s body with a high degree of clarity which made him extremely glad.

His hungry gaze ran over pert rosy nipples, already standing at attention and ended on his rock hard belly with its strangely attractive tattoo.

Rationally, he knew the dark spiraling lines and complex symbols were just the physical evidence of an incredibly complex and powerful sealing jutsu performed by Konoha’s fourth; that under the innocent-looking spiral a demonic beast of immense power lay imprisoned. Still, that didn’t detract from its mystic beauty; instead it enhanced it.

The skin of his belly contracted helplessly as he remembered the searing heat burning itself into his skin, marking him.

He traced the spiraling negative of Kyuubi’s restraining jutsu imbedded into his skin with a lazy finger, as his chest filled with pride.

It had been painful but extremely pleasurable for it meant Naruto had accepted him as his lover, having marked him. He liked the idea of belonging to his dobe as much as his dobe belonged to him: Uchiha Sasuke was owned and that made him glad.

‘Finally!’ he thought with glee. His fingers traced the spiral lazily as the cloth went even lower.

Spreading his dobe’s legs apart, he washed carefully over pale thighs. He blushed remembering the strength of those thighs as they wrapped around his hips. His shaking hands curled around a slowly stiffening erection nestled in a bed of blonde curls, easily kneading him into full attention.

‘Even asleep you are so sensitive!’ he thought with satisfaction. The wet cloth lay forgotten over Naruto’s thigh as his hands pinched and coaxed a dripping response from his blonde. He wanted a taste. Leaning forward, he pulled a soft sack inside his mouth, sucking and nibbling, savoring the moment. His dobe tasted wildly erotic, musky and spicy like his personality. He buried his face on the warm skin, wanting this unforgettable scent to be imprinted into his mind.

Naruto arched weakly against his face, shifting his legs a bit before relaxing. Sasuke stiffened and froze, willing his lover back into deep slumber. His nostrils registered a higher intensity on his koi’s scent and surprisingly, a spicy wetness and heat covered his lower face.

‘What?’ he thought in confusion, squinting at the erect manhood. He licked experimentally and found a lighter coating of fluid on the lower part of his face. He looked down and frowned.

‘What is this?’ he wondered and spread his lover’s legs wider. Impossibly, there seemed to be a smaller, almost imperceptible opening under Naruto’s balls, oozing clear juices. Sasuke licked experimentally, making it twitch.

Using his fingers, he pushed his testicles away and spread the new opening, wondering why there was an extra hole here. It was not his lover’s anus. That he could see very well further down, between his lover’s buttocks. This small orifice oozed a clear, lightly musky juice that gave out a distinct scent his brain had previously labeled as Naruto’s excited scent. It always preceded their lovemaking, pushing him to higher efforts. It was their mating scent.

Watching carefully for his lover’s reactions, he pushed a finger inside, wondering how deep this new area was. His finger slid in easily and his dobe’s hips twitched harder. He smirked. ‘So you like this?’ he wondered. Another finger joined the second, exploring this new area. It felt spongy and hot as he thrust in and out for a few minutes.

‘Is this somehow Kyuubi related?’ he mused thoughtfully. Clear fluid drenched his fingers and he brought them into his mouth for a taste as his other hand wrapped around Naruto’s cock. The taste was incredible pushing his already raging libido into unexpected heights.

‘Should I?’ he asked himself, slightly hesitant. Nodding, he lifted his lover’s hips and pushed a few pillows under him. He returned his hand back into place, pushing a third finger inside the wet cavern, relishing the feel of Naruto’s greedy innards. He curled his fingers, circling around the entrance before pushing inside with increasing strength, while his other hand kneaded his heated erection. His breath caught inside his chest as his lover moaned his orgasm to the wind.

‘This feels so familiar. I wonder if I have already been inside this new place and never realized… Tsk… there’s just one way to find out…ne?’ he nodded slightly, pulling his fingers out.

Maneuvering his sleeping lover around, he turned his lover into his belly, rearranging his limbs to his satisfaction. Now, thanks to his pillows, his dobe was almost on his knees, still sleeping away. If he didn’t know that Naruto’s exhaustion was due to excessive training, he would have been extremely worried. He smiled gleefully.

‘As it is’ he reasoned, ‘you owe me for this worry, dobe.’ Bringing out the lube, he pushed two oil-slick fingers inside his lover’s ass, noticing the natural resistance before he was able push past the tight muscle ring guarding his entrance. He stretched his fingers deep inside, preparing his lover as his mind analyzed exactly how this was possible. A muffled groan of pleasure bloomed from Naruto’s chest, signaling Sasuke had found that special spot inside his body.

Spreading his other fingers, he pushed inside the other orifice, exploring lazily inside Naruto while his right hand jerked him off. There was only a thin membrane dividing the two places and while Naruto’s ass was slippery with oil, this new area was drenched in its own slick moisture as he pushed against Naruto’s sensitive knot.

His lover hissed under him and he smirked, eager to replace his exploring fingers with his weeping cock. Naruto pushed against his fingers, relaxing his lower muscles to allow a deeper access. The thrusting ass taunted him and he smiled, burying his fingers knuckle deep before stilling his movements for a while.

Maybe this was the reason Naruto didn’t want him to explore his lower body. Knowing his dobe’s mind worked in mysterious ways helped him understand that possibly he was ashamed of his body.

Deciding to try his theory, he removed his fingers, gripped his hips and aligned their bodies. Guiding himself into the smaller hole, he slowly pushed inside, wondering if it would hurt his dobe or not. His eyes darted from Naruto’s face to the place he was joining their bodies slowly, sinking deeper with every passing breath.

Familiar warmth and tightness encased him as Naruto’s body welcomed him eagerly. Air hissed through his teeth when looking down he saw himself buried inside his lover: not inside his ass where he usually entered, but a bit higher.

Getting a good grip on his hips, he thrust experimentally once, twice, thrice before his body shattered into a fierce orgasm.

‘Wow, that was fast!’ he thought with clenched teeth. Breathless, he slammed his hips forward until his balls touched Naruto’s to avoid sliding out of this new place. The tip of his cock hit something deep inside Naruto and he frowned, worried that he would hurt his lover.

‘After all, you don’t know where this leads to…ne?’ he groaned in appreciation as his cock hardened at the thought of being even closer to his dobe now. Pleasure soon overwhelmed his mind when he also realized he was finally taking his lover where he’d always dreamed, right where he could see his body, under the mid-afternoon sun.

“Naruto!” he moaned, thrusting instinctively. His hand let go of a rounded hip to push inside the tight muscle ring at his disposal, searching for the bundle of nerves that was sure to please his lover very much. He circled his fingers around, pressing firmly deep inside until he found what he was looking for.

‘Bingo!’ he thought triumphantly as Naruto moaned in his sleep. He was test riding his lover. Wrapping a hand around his waist, he pulled the lax body closer. His sleepy lover moaned approvingly as he started to move experimentally, countering his cock’s sharp thrusts with short jabs from his fingers. Blue eyes opened slightly and he purred with pleasure.

“More… you bastard… harder… please… deeper…” Naruto whispered incoherently, sleep warring with pleasure. He clenched his inner muscles willing his fantasy lover to do him harder yet.

“Sas’ke… motto! Onegai!” His dobe slurred dreamily, pushing against his lover’s powerful thrusts. Grunts and gasps were drawn from him as he angled his thrusts. Naruto’s flesh stretched erotically around his hard cock as Sasuke drove himself home over and over, moaning Naruto’s name.

His mouth searched the warm skin of his lover’s shoulders as he freed his hand to wrap it around his lover’s hardening erection. Naruto’s body felt incredibly good against his, making his nipples stiffen on contact.

“Naruto… fuck! You… oh… Naruto, Naruto!” he called incoherently, ramming himself inside as pleasure squirreled down his back to pool at his groin. He wanted more, he needed more, he thought as he angled his lover to receive him deeper still. His cock hit the same weird place inside Naruto, but this time he didn’t care. His lover pleasured expression told him it was fine to continue.

“This feels so good, Naruto.” He thought with amazement arching into his lover and relishing the sensations thrusting into Naruto and staying buried inside brought him. The heat was too much, he couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t stop, couldn’t see... His whole body was too far gone to think of anything but this, as he moved inside his lover. He stiffened as finally the tightly wound spring inside his groin exploded and he was allowed to soar.

After a while, he pulled away to look his fill once more. Naruto’s lower body contracted weakly as both his holes gaped hungrily, leaking cum and juices into the pillows supporting his weight. The powerful mix of his seed and Naruto’s juices made him hard again.

‘Sheez, Uchiha… you are too much!’ he argued with a malicious grin as he leaned forward to swipe at his lover’s flesh with his tongue. The taste of their love was strong and pungent.

‘I could definitively get used to this, damn it!’ he thought, increasing his efforts to lick his lover clean. His tongue invaded the place where his cock had been just a few minutes ago, tasting himself in his lover’s body. Naruto mewled in his sleep, his body obviously very much in favor of his ministrations even if its owner was not.

‘I must talk to him. I see nothing wrong with this. It obviously doesn’t hurt to make love here… It’s just another place to love. That’s all. There’s nothing to be ashamed of.’ He sighed happily, before a bell rang far away.

‘Huh?’ he stopped to listen. ‘It’s the main door bell. Who can it be?’ he wondered. That bell usually didn’t ring, since he never had any visitors. He frowned, for a second torn between duty and pleasure. His head turned to watch his lover’s flushed cheeks where they buried enchantingly against his pillow and he groaned helplessly.

‘They can come back later for all I care… I am busy.’ He thought and once again, pushed his tongue into his lover’s body, desperate for another taste. The bell continued to ring far longer than expected, its metallic ring distracting him from the task at hand. He cursed under his breath as he gave Naruto’s anus a last prod and lick.

‘Kudos to you for persistence whoever you are, damn it!’ he growled as he tore himself away from his excited lover.
Standing up, he paused only to stuff himself back inside his pants and throwing on his discarded shirt before stalking towards the door.

“This better be good or you are getting a taste of Katon Housenka no jutsu!” he called angrily, his tense back and shoulders informing the world at large that whoever stood before his door should prepare for a painful demise.

Pushing the door open with a deadly glare firmly in place, he crossed his arms waiting. Apparently his disgruntled expression failed to hide his murderous thoughts from his visitor as he found himself standing before a stammering and blushing Hinata.

“U…Uchi…Uchiha, Sasuke-san!” she said trying to ignore the murderous waves that oozed from the obviously frustrated man before her. A worried expression covered her face as she took in his disheveled appearance. He had the look of an angry, hungry predator taken away from his prey. She flinched.

“Um… I… I… Wondered if Naruto was fine… it’s… been a while… and um… yeah… Tsunade wants to see you both… now.” She stammered with a red face. It was imperative she saw Naruto.

Her intuition told her something was off and she was not backing down. Naruto was her friend even if he didn’t share her feelings, so she would keep his best interest close to heart. With the Uchiha glaring knives into her head, she wondered if her blonde friend was truly safe inside this place.

He gritted his teeth. ‘Hinata knows Naruto’s here? How? We can’t leave now! Damn it’ he thought angrily. A throat cleared before him and his eyes turned towards the fidgeting kunoichi, patiently waiting for him to invite her inside the house. ‘I don’t have time for this.’ He grumbled

“Hinata-san… See here… Naruto’s fine, just sleeping right now. If you want, I will make sure to tell him you came by.” He said with finality moving to close the door. Incredibly, she blocked his actions with a well placed foot. His gaze flew to her face and he had to give her points for courage. Her body language clearly stated her desire to leave but determination shone in her pale eyes like a beacon. She was not leaving without a fight.

“Uchiha-san… I am worried… I would like to wait for him if possible.” As if confirming his previous thoughts, she lifted her jaw, refusing to back down. They measured each other impassively while her face turned an even fiercer shade of red.

‘Why did she have to develop guts just now? I need the old Hinata, not the new one!’ he cried inside.

“By all means, Hyuuga-san, come on in then.” He said coldly, signaling she was most definitively not welcome inside his house. Stepping back, he turned to lead the way. Halting by the rarely used receiving room and signaled she was to enter.

“Wait here. I will wake him up and tell him you are here. Keep it short because we must see the Hokage.” He said with indifference, raging inside at her impertinence. She nodded softly, staring demurely at her hands. He remained silent as she stepped in before closing the door with care, barely able to control his need to bang it closed in anger.

Livid, Sasuke made his way back into his room. Sliding the door open, a fist of desire slammed into his gut at the picture that welcomed him back. Naruto lay sprawled face down on his futon, his mouth sucking on his fist as he slowly thrust against the pillows previously used by Sasuke to lift him up. Increasing his tempo, his dobe pushed himself past the point of no return with a frenzied pace. Unable to tear his eyes from his enticing body, he approached the bed as his lover climaxed, screaming his name into the futon while his seed spread over his pillows.

‘Thank god I have pillows to spare.’ He thought helplessly falling to his knees and gathering his lover tenderly, to help him straighten from his position. Naruto protested weakly, still tired but finally awake. Bleary blue eyes welcomed him back.

“I missed you, bastard. Why did you leave?” he asked softly. Sasuke cursed a stream under his breath, damning the waiting kunoichi to a thousand years of pain for interrupting his precious time with his dobe. There was so much he still wanted to see and touch! Sobering up, he pulled Naruto to a sitting position.

“Come on, dobe. We got to dress. Tsunade is waiting for us.” He informed succinctly, choosing to keep silent about the annoying kunoichi’s presence inside Uchiha territory.

‘She wants to wait then let her wait!’ He thought with a put upon sigh that hid his true intentions from his dobe.

“Why did you let me sleep? What’s the door doing open, you pervert?” he asked with narrowed eyes as he fought the urge to cover his lower body.

“You were hot, dobe; sweating. I helped you undress and gave you a sponge bath. That was all.” He quipped simply, ignoring the suspicious glare that stuck to his back as he donned a new shirt.

‘Now is not the time to talk about my discovery… he is upset … and there is Hinata to worry about too. It will have to wait.’ He thought with a sigh of disgust.

Sasuke eyed his movements with hidden concern. Even though his body seemed more rested than before he was still tired.

‘Obvious! You didn’t let him sleep at all, you hentai freak!’ his inner mind commented dryly as Naruto bent to pull on a fresh pair of orange pants. He paused, apparently noticing for the first time his groin was wet and sore.

‘Damn it! I was sure I had licked you clean before I was so rudely interrupted… damned Hyuuga! But still, you are so slow, dobe!’ Sasuke grinned full of mischief before pulling on his coolest expression.

“Oi… Teme… care to tell me why’s it I feel all sweaty ‘n sticky?” Naruto queried after a moment’s silence, his furrowing brows signaling his displeasure. “You sure you didn’t do anything other than washing my body? It feels as if I’ve had sex.” His voice trailed off with embarrassment.

He shrugged changing his clothes. “Oh, I don’t know why you feel like that! Maybe it’s because by the time I got here from the kitchen there was a blonde hentai busily humping my pillows.” He commented dryly.

Naruto’s eyes widened in realization and he lounged towards the bedding, his face bursting with chagrin. Sasuke intercepted his movement, wrapping his hands around his dobe’s waist. Was it him or it was thicker?

‘A thicker waist means he’s finally gaining a bit of weight. It’s normal, you idiot!’ He scolded himself for being a worrywart.

“Leave it dobe. We can deal with that later, ne?” he instructed. “We have to leave quickly, remember Tsunade?”

“Yeah… Maybe she will have a mission for us!” he turned energetically, his happy expression sending apprehension inside Sasuke’s belly. Watching his dobe’s eagerness filled him with worry but he was unwilling to disclose his misgivings regarding a new mission just yet. With that in mind, Sasuke baited his lover hoping to distract him.

“Maybe she is will tell us our vacation time just got extended, dobe.” He replied tartly, expertly pushing his blonde’s buttons. It was so much fun to provoke somebody as volatile as his lover! He smiled warmly, a scary signal that he was up to no good.

“Teme! I can’t stand another day cooped up inside the house! If I don’t get a mission soon I will go crazy! There’s much that I can do, even if I am still easily tired. I am sure the damned cat escaped again or something! She has to give me something to do! Damn it!” he yelled in desperation tugging on his sandals.

“You are not ready to take on a mission, dobe! You are still too weak!” Sasuke exploded helplessly, his heart beating painfully loud inside his chest before regret pierced his heart as his eyes took in Naruto’s hurt expression.

‘Now you’ve done it! You just issued a challenge idiot! He won’t back down now!’ he berated himself for his stupidity.

“I can too take a mission, Teme! I may be a bit out of shape but I’m still a deadly shinobi. I ain’t the stupid dobe you remember, Sas’ke! You’ll see, I’ll go now and ask for a mission! I don’t wanna see you try ‘n stop me, ok? Bastard!” his blonde yelled angrily, stomping towards the inner garden.

“Easy there! Don’t tire yourself on the way out!” he warned insolently pulling on his arm-sleeves. Naruto’s words scared him with their intensity. He had himself to blame for not realizing his dobe was so bored.

“Fuck off!” the blonde screamed as he crouched, preparing to leave via the inner garden roof when Sasuke called out to him.

“Oi, there’s somebody…” The furious blonde muttered a hasty “Later.” and took off. Onyx eyes watched Naruto leave with efficient movements as he fell silent with a mischievous smile.

‘I only hope this is not about a mission… I don’t want to tie Naruto down, but I will if it comes to that. He is too stubborn for his own good, damn it!’ he frowned for a while as he finished dressing. ‘Oh, well… I really tried to tell him Hinata was waiting to talk to him… such an impulsive fox, my dobe… Well, it’s just too bad.’ He sighed happily with a shrug, making his way inside the house with a half smile. There was still a Hyuuga waiting to be taken care of before joining his lover at the tower.
