I’ve been waiting to get the end of this chapter to all my readers for ages. I wrote the very last scene in this chapter three and a half months ago. Warning: smut and angst ahead.

Chapter 7: Accepting the Truth

"Alright Sasuke. I'm here. Now, tell me why you're so pissed at Sakura that you can't talk to me in front of her," Naruto said. Sasuke looked at Naruto’s face as he approached Sasuke on the training field the blond had found him at. Sasuke knew Naruto was still frustrated with how he had acted back at his house, but before he could confess his actions, he needed to know something.

"Naruto, do you trust me?" Sasuke asked. Despite looking puzzled, Naruto didn't miss a beat before answering.

"Of course I do." Sasuke nodded. He had expected the answer, but he needed to hear it. He wanted to know what Naruto's answer was before his confession; he had a feeling it might change afterwards.

"For some time now," Sasuke began, looking around. He had felt Sakura's approach, even if Naruto hadn't realized she was there, and decided he'd continue with what he needed to say anyway. He continued, "I've been keeping a secret from you because I didn't want to hurt you-"

"Sasuke, you know you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. You've got things in your past you don't want to talk about; I get that. There are things I don't talk about much either," Naruto said, and Sasuke saw him unconsciously clutch at his stomach towards where his cursed seal was. Sasuke had nearly forgotten about the Kyuubi, the demon having been quieted for so long due to him continuing to balance out the Kyuubi's chakra. How could he have forgotten about how much the Kyuubi had made Naruto's childhood so lonely and painful? Sasuke found it almost too easy to forget about the demon despite the fact that it was the Kyuubi's chakra that had instigated the situation they were in, in the first place.

"Naruto, it's not that kind of secret," Sasuke said, wishing that he could just brush everything aside with Naruto's blind acceptance that he didn't need to tell him everything. "I feel you need to know." Naruto waved his hand dismissively.

"Well, whatever it is, and I think I do know what it is, I think you out to know, you shouldn't be mad at Sakura," Naruto said. Sasuke's words died on his lips. Naruto knew? And Sasuke shouldn’t be mad at Sakura?

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked, slightly apprehensive. Had Sakura told Naruto? And if so, had Naruto really accepted the news so calmly? Naruto shook his head.

"You see, Konohamaru was the one who did the illusion, and she mistook it for you," Naruto explained. Sasuke blinked at Naruto.

"Illusion?" Sasuke repeated, knowing immediately that he and Naruto were on different topics. What the hell was Naruto talking about? Naruto narrowed his eyes at Sasuke’s confusion.

"Sasuke, don't be difficult about this. It wasn't Sakura's fault. I hate it when you two fight. She made a mistake, and I'm sure her accusing you was weird and all, but-"

"Naruto! " Sasuke growled, "What are you talking about?"

"Sakura thinking you were raping me!" Naruto said. "Isn't that what you're trying to say? You're keeping the secret of what she said because you don't want me to know she had said that and how mad you are at her because you know I don't like it when you're mad at each other, right? Well, Sakura told me, and I explained it was just Konohamaru and-"

"Sakura told you?" Sasuke asked incredulously.

"Yeah, no big deal. I bet you told her not to, right? I can tell by the look on your face that you asked her not to. No wonder you two were arguing early. But it’s not like I would believe such nonsense. I still don’t quite know why Sakura did,” Naruto said, scratching his head thoughtfully, as if unable to comprehend his wife’s actions. He shrugged and continued, “I explained to her that what she saw was Konohamaru pulling a prank, though she should have seen through the illusion-"

"What does Konohamaru have to do with this?" Sasuke demanded.

"I told you!" Naruto said frustrated, clearly unsure as to why Sasuke didn't understand him. "Konohamaru made the illusion with his clones! You know, the image where it looked like you were raping me. Sakura just thought it was you because the genjutsu looked really realistic. I don't know why she was so mad though. I remember when we were still looking for you, and Konohamaru did the genjutsu where he made it look like you and Sai were going at it, and she seemed to like that," Naruto said, making a face at the memory.

"Illusion of me and Sai going at it?" Sasuke murmured. "Naruto, you and I clearly are not talking about the same thing."

"You're upset about Sakura saying she thought you were raping me, right?"

"I am upset that she told you, but that's because-"

"Well, I told you," Naruto said, gritting out the ‘I told you’ again, "that she was just seeing Konohamaru's genjutsu and just thought it was real. No need to be angry at her or anything."

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled. "It wasn't an illusion! It was real!" Sasuke said, angrily. Naruto took a step back from him, looking at Sasuke warily.

"Well that's just stupid. I'd have remembered if it was real," Naruto said, rolling his eyes. Sasuke closed his eyes, willing himself to find patience.

"Don't you think there are loop-holes in what you're saying? Think about it! How could it have been an illusion if you were there in the room!" Sasuke gritted out.

"I was asleep. Konohamaru wouldn't have woken me up because I would have recognized Konohamaru’s chakra. You know, like when you or Sakura enter the room, my body reacts to yours very differently than someone who’s chakra isn’t familiar," Naruto said slowly as though Sasuke were the one not understanding the situation. "Geeze Sasuke! Sakura must have had a pretty convincing story if she got you to believe it too," Naruto said, eyeing Sasuke weirdly.

"Naruto," Sasuke said, finally approaching Naruto. Sasuke was utterly incredulous. After so long of hiding the truth, Sasuke was more frustrated than he had imagined he would be explaining everything. He always assumed he’d be more fearful about Naruto’s reaction than anything else. Only Naruto could make him feel frustrated instead, and he was quite frustrated. Why wasn't Naruto accepting the truth? Sakura had told him. Hell, Sasuke was admitting to it! Why wouldn't Naruto just believe it?

Sasuke placed both of his hands onto Naruto’s shoulders and looked into Naruto’s eyes.

"I have been raping you," Sasuke confessed softly.

"Sasuke," Naruto said, his voice low and quiet, "that's not funny." Naruto lowered his eyes, looking at the ground. His hands began to slowly clench into fists at his sides.

"No, it's not funny," Sasuke admitted, wishing Naruto would look at him. "Let me explain wh-"

"Stop it! I said it's not funny. Cut it out already," Naruto said angrily, his eyes flashing up as his hands darted up to remove Sasuke's hands from his shoulders. Sasuke let him. Naruto looked at him searchingly for a moment before he began to walk away.

"Naruto-"

"I need to go find Konohamaru," Naruto said, without looking back.

"Naruto, please let me explain!" Sasuke pleaded.

"I said cut it out!" Naruto yelled angrily over his shoulder as he began to run. Sasuke stared stupidly after him, dumbstruck at Naruto's inability to accept what Sasuke was telling him.

Sasuke knew Sakura had followed Naruto and knew that she must have been listening in on their conversation. He was therefore unsurprised when she appeared next to him.

"Why can't he accept what an asshole you are?" Sakura said quietly. Sasuke didn't respond as he turned and ran too - running wildly as he wondered the same thing.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

"Why is Sasuke being such a stubborn asshole?" Naruto muttered to himself, scratching the back of his head as he walked around the Hokage Tower. He hadn't been able to find Konohamaru, and it had only been after going to the Hokage Tower and running into Iruka-sensei who told him that Konohamaru was away on a mission that Naruto finally gave up his search for the youngest Sarutobi. He wished Konohamaru was around to confess so that everyone would stop with this weird story that was going around.

Naruto wasn't sure why Sasuke was now converting to Sakura's ridiculous story, but it didn't make sense for Sasuke to admit to something as insanely improbable as that. Naruto sighed, wondering why Sasuke had said that he was raping him. Honestly! It didn't make sense, and Naruto refused to believe it was true. When could it have happened? He didn't recall any such thing ever happening, and he was pretty sure he would remember something like that.

Naruto snorted at the absurdity of it all. He wondered if Sasuke said what he had because Sakura had ended up catching up with them. Naruto had wondered if Sakura was going to follow him and he had felt her presence not long after he got to the training fields. Naruto wondered if Sasuke had know she was there too. He probably had. But if he did know that, then maybe he just said what he had to appease Sakura! That was it! Sasuke was trying not to fight with Sakura because Sasuke knew it made Naruto upset, so he had said he was raping Naruto because Sakura had been so sure of it, and he didn’t want to make Sakura upset!

"That's it!" Naruto said. A random shinobi in the hallway stopped and turned at Naruto's random exclamation. Naruto laughed nervously and ran from the Hokage's office. He needed to find Sasuke while Sakura wasn't there to find out what was really going on. Naruto felt like laughing. Sasuke hadn't wanted to make Sakura look bad while she was there, that was all.

Naruto bounded out of the Hokage Tower, heading towards Sasuke's, hoping to finally figure out what was going on.

- - - - - - - - - - - --

Sakura wasn't sure what to do with herself. Naruto hadn't believed her when she had told him that Sasuke was raping him - and he hadn't even believed Sasuke when Sasuke had told him! It was as though Sasuke could do no wrong in Naruto's mind. The thought made her heart ache. Had she been foolish to think that Naruto's heart belonged to her if he was unwilling to see Sasuke's flaws?

Naruto had always looked up to Sasuke - Naruto had confided this piece of information to her about a month into their marriage, but how far did it go? How far did it really go for Naruto? Naruto had chased after Sasuke, spending years of his life to find Sasuke. She knew that Naruto had considered his promise to bring Sasuke back the type of promise he would do anything to make reality. But was it just that she had made him promise? Or had he gone after Sasuke because Naruto cared more about finding Sasuke than anyone and anything else?

Why was she thinking these things?

She loved Naruto, more than she thought it was possible to love a person - and he loved her! Sakura's heart soared as she remembered that he did love her. His eyes, the way he spoke to her, the way that he laughed around her made her sure of this. What was she thinking? Naruto's heart still belonged to him. And he had married her after all. Why was she fretting? Naruto would never break a marriage vow. It would go against his nindo after all, to go against his word.

Sakura nodded to herself. If Naruto didn't believer her - or Sasuke for that matter - and if Sasuke attempted to hurt Naruto any more, then Sakura had no choice than to make sure that Naruto wasn't hurt any longer. Sakura finally moved from her statue-like position that she had been in since both Naruto and Sasuke had run off over an hour ago. She too turned and ran from the grounds, running with direction and purpose.

She seemed to arrive at her destination in record time, and she banged on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Come in!" Tsunade bellowed.

"Master," Sakura said in way of greeting. Tsunade looked up from her pile of paperwork (that she probably hadn't been working on anyway) and smiled at Sakura.

"What brings you here, Sakura?" Tsunade asked. Sakura walked forward and sat down pristinely in the chair in front of the Hokage's desk, her eyes serious as she looked at Tsunade, her hands perched on her knees.

"It's about Sasuke - doing something to Naruto," Sakura said. Tsunade's eyes widened slightly. She nodded her head, and pulled out a white sake bottle from her desk, followed by two small white cups. She poured herself a cup, and one for Sakura. Sakura took the cup, looking at it strangely.

"I think we both have some stories to tell. You'll need that after we're done," Tsunade said, downing her cup in one gulp in anticipation of what was to come. She began pouring herself another one before her first gulp had finished going down her throat.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Sasuke ran blindly, letting his feet carry him. He wasn't sure what to think. He had finally told Naruto, not in the way he wanted, not even in the exact place he had wanted, and Naruto hadn't even reacted to him in anyway he had imagined. In all of his scenarios of how Naruto might react, Sasuke hadn't been prepared for Naruto to flat out refuse to believe him. Naruto hadn't even let him explain what had happened!

His feet took him to the Hokage Mountain, a place he instinctively associated with Naruto. He remembered the first time that Sasuke had tried to tell Naruto of their situation. Sasuke had been just a day too late. Naruto had started to go out with Sakura, and he had lost his chance to see if Naruto would have chosen him over Sakura by not saying anything when he should have.

Sasuke closed his eyes remembering. Sasuke had made a snide comment about Sakura thinking about him instead of Naruto when Sakura and Naruto would be dating. He remembered Naruto's reaction, his anger that had led them to this same mountaintop.

"Doesn't matter who she's thinking about as long as it's me she's with," Naruto had said.

The words had hurt him then, and they burned him even more now. Was Naruto’s denial a way to protect himself against the pain of what Sasuke had done, or was it perhaps a way to protect Sakura?

"...as long as it's me she's with..." Naruto's words reverberated in Sasuke's mind yet again. Naruto would go to great lengths to protect those he loved. Was Naruto's refusal to accept the truth his mind's way of protecting Sasuke's betrayal from Sakura? Or from Naruto himself?

Was Sasuke even at fault? Truly? Wasn't he saving Naruto's life after all? Sasuke sighed. But he couldn’t kid himself. He knew he was the one at fault. He hadn't told Naruto soon enough. He'd had opportunities to tell Naruto so many different times. He'd even at one point had Tsunade's encouragement. His own inability to act soon enough had cost him so much.

A raindrop fell on the side of his hand, and Sasuke looked blankly up to the sky, wondering how long he had been running, wondering how he had been so oblivious that storm clouds had come in?

Sasuke didn't bother to run as the heavens opened up as the rain began to pour. He walked slowly back to his house. The heavy down pour lasted the majority of his walk home, but it didn't bother Sasuke. The weight of the water soaked in his clothing seemed to reflect the weight that seemed to still be on his shoulders as he trudged back along the muddy paths.

"...as long as it's me she's with..."

Sasuke sighed. He hadn't really been thinking much when Naruto had come to find him. He had been too nervous of Naruto's initial reaction. Now that the shock was slowly fading away, his heart ached. A part of him, despite believing that Naruto would hate him (before he got the chance to explain he was saving his life anyway), had actually believed Naruto would be glad. He had been foolish to hope that Naruto would leave Sakura immediately for Sasuke. He had never allowed himself to truly look at this idea before, but it had always been there, deep in his heart, aching for Naruto to love him, to choose him. But why would that have happened? Naruto had never shown any romantic interest in Sasuke, and Naruto had gone after Sakura. He had married Sakura! So what if Naruto's body responded to his? What did that mean? Sasuke knew of lots of people who got off on reading the Icha-Icha series, reading about people who they did not love, but were able to find a sexual release reading about it.

Love was not lust. He knew this, but he loved the one he lusted after. In a good relationship both should go hand in hand. Yet his and Naruto’s relationship couldn’t be called all that good. Sasuke closed his eyes in sadness. Sasuke hadn't felt this depressed since three years ago, three years ago when his life had held no purpose after his fulfillment of revenge.

There was only a light mist by the time Sasuke reached the last path to his house.
Sasuke had only been half aware that his feet had taken him home. He opened the door, the water from his clothes so heavily sodden down with water that he had almost left a puddle on his front stop just in the time it took him to open the door. Sasuke trudged lifelessly to his bedroom, knowing he must have left a wet trail on the way, but he couldn't bring himself to really care all that much.

"Geeze, you're a mess. I wondered if you had gotten caught out in the downpour." Sasuke's head shot up at the voice that he had certainly not expected to greet him upon entering his bedroom.

"Naruto," Sasuke breathed, somehow finding it surreal that Naruto was there, in his home.

"Lucky I was here. I climbed in your bedroom window. You left it wide open. I closed it when I heard the rain starting. If I hadn't been here, your bedroom floor would have been soaked," Naruto said.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked. Naruto rolled his eyes.

"You're welcome for shutting your window," Naruto grumbled.

"Thanks," Sasuke deadpanned. "What are you doing here?" he then repeated.

"I figured it out," Naruto said, nodding. "You didn't want to hurt Sakura's feelings. You knew she was there behind us, so you-"

"Naruto!" Sasuke hollered, putting his hands over his ears, unable to listen to Naruto make up more excuses for him. "You're ill Naruto. Your body has an imbalance of chakra that needs to be regularly balanced out. I've been using my chakra to counterbalance yours for the past three years. If I don't do it, then you'll die," Sasuke got out. Sasuke lowered his hands from his ears, his entire body weary. He was just so tired. He wanted it all out in the open. Having the secret bottled up in him for so long had made it so much harder to get out. Wasn't it supposed to make him feel uplifted to tell the truth? Why did he feel so drained? And so weak? Naruto turned his head away to the side, looking thoughtful.

"Something's wrong with me?" Naruto asked after a minute of silence. Sasuke nodded. "And you've been balancing out my chakra?" Another nod. "Well, what's the big deal? I mean, why didn't you just say that in the first place?" Naruto demanded. Sasuke looked at Naruto, black eyes boring into blue ones. Naruto still didn't understand because Sasuke wasn’t connecting the dots for Naruto, even though all the clues were now presented in front of him. And Sasuke was just so tired somehow. So drained. He felt chilled standing in his wet clothes, the air inside his own home much cooler than the moist, humid air outside.

He was tired of trying to make Naruto understand, make him see the connection. Sasuke didn’t want Naruto to run out on him once Naruto put everything together. He wanted Naruto to figure it out on his own. He wanted them to somehow work something out. He wanted to be out of his wet clothes. And as usual -

He wanted Naruto.

But he was too tired to fight with Naruto at the moment. Too tired to explain in greater detail and then to expect Naruto to readily accept that Naruto needed his chakra soon since it had been a while since they had last had sex.

Sasuke activated his sharingan with Naruto completely unsuspecting as he had been staring straight into Sasuke's eyes. Naruto was instantly caught completely in Sasuke's genjutsu. There was a slight pain in Sasuke’s eyes as he did so, but Sasuke ignored the pain and the thought of the possible problems this overuse of his sharingan would generate.

All he thought about was sliding out of his wet clothes. So he did, leaving them in a wet heap at his front door as Naruto's clueless self stared blankly at him. Sasuke stepped outside the ring his clothing had made at his feet, sauntering towards Naruto. His skin had goosebumps, and he wasn't sure if it had to do with the coolness of his house, or the anticipation of being inside of Naruto after being denied for weeks.

"Naruto," Sasuke murmured, unzipping Naruto's suit. The orange and black material parted in front of Sasuke, and Sasuke shuddered in anticipation as he ran his hand down the front of Naruto's meshed covered shirt. Sasuke enjoyed stripping Naruto of his clothes, feeling the warmth that Naruto's body radiated as he warmed his own body by being close to Naruto.

Once he had rid Naruto of his clothes, he led Naruto to the bed, laying his friend and lover down on his back. Sasuke laid on top of Naruto, gently placing his cold lips on Naruto's. He pinched Naruto's nose lightly until Naruto finally began to respond, his body heating up as he gasped for breath inside of Sasuke's mouth. Sasuke slipped his tongue between Naruto's parted lips, removing his hand from the back of Naruto's nose to cup behind Naruto's hand.

He enjoyed kissing Naruto for a few minutes, placing kisses - and some bite marks - down Naruto's neck and chest. Perhaps the bite marks would drive the point home to Naruto later on. After enjoying finally being able to leave his mark on Naruto without fear that Sakura or Naruto himself would notice, he flipped Naruto over onto his stomach. Sasuke reached over to his nightstand, pulling out the lube from his top drawer. He coated his hardened shaft, and moaned at his own touch. He had gotten far to used to having Naruto every few days, and he desired his release readily.

Sasuke coated his fingers with lube as well, stretching Naruto longer than usual since he hadn't been inside him for what felt like ages. Sasuke coated himself with more lube before sinking himself balls deep inside of Naruto.

"Nnnn," Sasuke moaned. He began moving slowly inside of Naruto, not wishing to come so fast, wanting to enjoy Naruto's body - at least one more time, just in case. Sasuke was panting harder and faster in a matter of moments, and even with the slow thrusting, Sasuke knew he wouldn't last that long.

Naruto panted beneath him, his body - as always - moaning at the pleasures he unknowingly enjoyed so much. His panting made Sasuke groan in pleasure and he thrust harder as Naruto gave a particularly loud moan.

"Damn!" Sasuke hissed as a sharp pain shot through his eyes at the same time he had thrust harder. He stilled his motions for a moment, blinking his black eyes before continuing his thrusting...

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Naruto's mind seemed groggy as he felt himself panting. A wave of pleasure filled his body, as he felt as though he had just awoken from what might have been a pleasurable dream into a more pleasurable reality.

At first, his mind wasn't able to process anything more than the pleasure his body felt, a greater and deeper pleasure that he ever recalled feeling before. He was panting heavily, and his heart was hammering fast inside of him, pumping blood throughout his body, pumping blood to his cock that was throbbing deliciously against the cool sheets of fabric below him. He dazedly realized that his body was being pushed forward as he himself was mechanically pushing backwards. The situation came to reality as he realized he was lying down on a bed, his sweaty body pressed into the sheets, thrusting his dick against the bed to create friction against his throbbing member. Behind him, a body pressed inside of him, in his ass, thrusting what Naruto could only presume to be another cock inside him.

It terrified and thrilled him all at the same instant.

Naruto knew somewhere in the back of his mind that something wasn't right with this situation, but he couldn't bring his body to stop responding. He could feel the body of the man behind him, could feel the shape of the hard stomach, clenching and unclenching as he thrust forward. He could feel the familiar grip on his wrists as the man behind him used his arms to help pull himself tighter inside of his body. And he could even smell the sweat, the strangely erotic smell of sweat, that he knew so well.

These clues, these intimacies, spoke volumes to Naruto, and he knew, as if he had known it from the instant that he had become coherent, that it was Sasuke who was moving above him, that it was Sasuke that knew how to make his body feel so good. Still, he twisted his head around slightly to see if he was right. He was. What Sakura and Sasuke had tried to tell him earlier, what he had refused to believe earlier, still didn't seem real to him, didn't seem possible to him, despite the proof right before his eyes.

His mind still refused to register that something was wrong, that words that had been spoken earlier should have prepared him for this. But that was too far in the past for Naruto when his present situation had driven so much from his mind.

There, on top of him, Sasuke's naked body glistened in sweat, his eyes closed, his mouth moving and his chest heaving as he panted in time with how he thrust inside of Naruto. It made Naruto shiver to see Sasuke so utterly lost and beautiful like that that he couldn't bare to look at him because of how it made his heart both ache and explode with emotion. That vision became ingrained into Naruto's mind. By just thinking about Sasuke's face made Naruto pant heavier, warmth spreading from his balls to the base of his cock, spreading throughout his body, and coming once again to the base of his cock in greater intensity. His hands darted out to grasp onto something at the intensified sensation. Sasuke stumbled on top of him at his sudden movement, and he lost his grip on Naruto's wrists and fell onto Naruto, thrusting deeper and harder inside making Naruto scream out in pleasure as he felt himself erupt into blissful oblivion as he orgasmed.

"Sa-Sasuke!" Naruto cried out, the name torn from his lips. Sasuke's body stiffened upon his name as though in shock, but he was too far gone, and hearing Naruto call his name in the throws of passion made Sasuke slam hard into Naruto as Sasuke came as well.

Sasuke could feel the warmth of his own sperm coat the inside of Naruto's body, and then slicken his cock and Naruto's ass all at the same time as Naruto's cheeks squeezed at him, his sensitivity so heightened from his love making that he felt as though he wanted to orgasm again. Nothing more could come out of him, and he had to pull his cock out of Naruto as the pained feeling of being pleasured too much took over his body.

Still panting, Sasuke backed away from Naruto, knowing immediately something had gone wrong. Naruto had said his name. He had never forced Naruto to do that, and it was with that realization that Sasuke could feel that his sharingan was no longer activated which meant that Naruto had woken up in the midst of forcing himself upon him. It must have deactivated when the pain had shot through his eyes.

"Shit," Sasuke hissed to himself.

Naruto turned around at hearing Sasuke hiss something unintelligible. Naruto's chest was heaving, and he was taking shuddering breaths to calm his body, feeling the wetness of his own cum on his stomach and on the now soaking bed sheets, as well as Sasuke's cum dripping from inside of him.

"Sasuke?" Naruto asked hesitantly, as he looked around him, gathering his wits as the height of passion and ecstasy left him.

Sudden horrible realization hit him. Sasuke had been inside him, fucking him. Sakura hadn’t been mistaken, and even Sasuke had told him! He hadn't believed it. Couldn't believe it. It hadn't made sense. It still didn't make sense. What Sasuke had told him about a supposed illness didn't make sense. Sakura had tried warning him about Sasuke, and he hadn't believed her. Sasuke had tried to explain to him what was going on, but Naruto, a deep part of Naruto, just hadn't wanted to hear what Sasuke had to say to him. Sasuke was - - Naruto couldn't even put words to it. Instead, he turned angrily towards Sasuke, glaring at his supposed best friend. "What the hell do you think you're doing you fucking bastard?"
