Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 7: The Dark Night of the Soul

Screaming, moaning, gunshots, the sounds of running feet… Nothing mattered anymore. Sasuke couldn't even move. He stood rooted to the floor, chaos all around him, his mind numb with shock. How could everything else still be going on? How come the world hadn't come to a stand-still when his mother had died? When he had killed his own mother? Nothing made sense to him anymore.

Faintly he heard someone screaming his name, and a tanned hand, Naruto's hand, tugged at his own. As if in a dream he allowed himself to be dragged down the stairs and out the door by the blond. In the distance he could hear gunshots, and the sound made him unconsciously cringe.

The next thing he knew he was in the Hummer, and they were speeding off. Everyone was making sure everyone else was all right, checking for bites. Someone shook Sasuke, and he looked into Naruto's concerned cerulean eyes. The blond was saying something, and he tried to refocus.

"-you bitten, 'ttebayo?" he was saying. Mutely the raven shook his head, automatically holding out his arms. Everyone else was looking at him, and he angrily wished that they would stop. He didn't need anyone's pity or sympathy…

"Hey, Uchiha," said Kiba in a worried tone, "you're covered in blood."

Sasuke looked at his hands and arms. Indeed they were covered in blood, most of it his mother's.

And just like that he began to shake violently as the imagery of his mother lying at his feet in a pool of her own blood flashed through his mind again. He began to hyperventilate, and felt the small ell shape of the inhaler he'd brought along being pressed into his hands.

'I will not cry,' he thought to himself as he took a breath from the small apparatus and struggled to get his emotions under control. He was an Uchiha, and Uchihas didn't cry. No matter what.

Sayuki and Sasaki were sitting on the couch, making out, when the front door lock clicked and the door swung open. Sayuki went for the gun, but it was just Naruto. She growled.

"Where the hell have you been?" she hissed. "We've been worried as fuck about you!"

At that moment everyone else came in, and Sasaki spotted Sasuke and screamed.

"OH MY GOD! YOU BROUGHT ONE HOME WITH YOU!" she cried hysterically, pointing at him. Despite his numbness, the young raven mustered up enough energy to glare at her, albeit without any of the normal killing intent behind it. Sure he must look like hell, but was it really necessary to comment on it?

Naruto looked at her, then at Sasuke, and then back again.

"Don't ask," he said quietly. "Come on, Sasuke," he added to the raven-haired teen, "you should get cleaned up."

The Uchiha offered no complaint when Naruto took him gently by the hand and led him up the stairs. Sasaki and Sayuki waited until the two were gone, and then turned to the rest of the group, shocked and horrified looks on their faces.

"What happened?" asked Sayuki quietly.

"Sasuke had to kill his own mother when she got bitten, died, and reanimated in front of us," said Kyuubi grimly.

"Oh my god, that's horrible," whispered Sasaki. "Poor Sasuke…"

Naruto would have given Sasuke some privacy to get cleaned up, but the raven had insisted nonverbally that he stay. So Naruto was sitting on the toilet lid, consumed with guilt, while Sasuke sat in an upright fetal position in the water-filled tub, alone with his own thoughts. Neither of them really seemed to notice the bath water turning red.

After a while, Naruto sighed.

"Ne, temee," he said quietly, "the water's probably getting cold."

Sasuke merely stared straight ahead, navy blue eyes dulled to a dark gray, the occasional silent tear creating tracks down his cheeks through the blood before falling into the water below with a soft plip. He didn't really take notice of anything, even when Naruto grabbed a wet washcloth and started softly rubbing it across his face, cleaning off the blood. When he was done, he grabbed the shampoo and put some into the raven's hair, lathering it up.

"I'm so sorry, Sasuke," he said as he worked the shampoo in gently, his hands turning a light brownish-red from the matted blood in the other teenager's hair. "If I hadn't left, then none of this would've happened. Watch out for your eyes, 'ttebayo," he added, rinsing the raven's hair out.

Sasuke didn't acknowledge anything that the blond had just said. He just sat in the tub with his knees pulled up to his chest, oblivious to the water turning a light cloudy red around him, and stared blankly down at his hands. Naruto would have thought that he was dead but for the fact that his bare, pale chest was just barely moving up and down rhythmically with each quiet inhalation and exhalation. The blond sighed.

"I'll go get you some nightclothes, 'ttebayo," he said softly, making to stand up. A pale hand grabbed his wrist in a vise-like grip, and he started. He looked at Sasuke, who was shaking his head mutely.

'Well, it is kinda my fault,' he thought to himself. 'I left this morning, and now his mom's dead…'

"All right, I'll take you with me. Just hold on a minute…"

After Naruto had draped a towel over Sasuke's bare shoulders and let the water drain, he took the raven by the hand and led him into his bedroom, where the raven sat quietly on the bed while Naruto rooted through his pajama drawer for something that would fit… Sasuke was small enough that he'd been sharing Naruko's and Kushina's night clothes for the last few nights, and Naruto didn't know if he had anything that would fit the smaller teen.

Finally the blond found a Metallica T-shirt that was too small for him on the bottom of his drawer, one that he hadn't worn in ages.

"Here," he said to Sasuke, turning around, "you can wear this for the night… Sasuke?"

There was a choked cry of anguish just as Naruto turned around, and the raven-haired teen began sobbing so hard that his body shook with the force of them.

"Mother," he gasped between sobs. "Mother, I'm sorry…"

All thoughts of nightshirts forgotten, Naruto went over to the bed, though not exactly sure what he was going to do… He was worried about the dark-haired teenager having a full-blown asthma attack. He also felt extremely awkward, as well as guilty, and at the same time he was turned on, which was just wrong, given the situation. Luckily Sasuke saved him the need of deciding how to act by almost falling off the bed. The blond caught the smaller teenager and held him close as he fisted his hands into Naruto's shirt and cried into it.

"N-Naruto…" he sobbed.

"Hush, 'ttebayo," the blond soothed. "I'm not going anywhere, I promise."

"I-I-I should have waited," Sasuke whispered brokenly. "I should have waited till we were upstairs… She's dead because of me… It's my fault…"

"Shh," said Naruto quietly. "If I hadn't left, you wouldn't've come after me in the first place."

"It's my fault," said the other boy, shaking his head, evidently not having listened to a word of what Naruto had said.

"Sasuke…"

"It's my fault… Mother, I'm sorry…"

"Sasuke."

"All my fault…"

"Sasuke, it's not your fault!" said Naruto loudly, and before the young raven could dispute it again, the blond leaned over and kissed him roughly.

At first Sasuke was taken by surprise, so much so that he immediately stopped crying, his eyes going wide for a moment. Then slowly they slid shut, and he allowed himself to be lost in Naruto's demanding but gentle lips.

Kissing the blond was more than Sasuke had ever imagined it would be, and all thoughts of the day were pushed from his mind as he kissed back passionately. Naruto's tongue asked for entrance to his mouth, and he gladly gave it, the blond's jeweled tongue twining around his own unblemished one. The raven put all of his sadness, all of his grief, all of the emotions he'd been feeling for the last hour or so into the kiss, along with a longing, trying to tell Naruto without words that he wanted more than just a kiss…

Then just as suddenly as it began, Naruto broke away, and Sasuke felt empty for a second… But it was only a second, because then the blond's lips were on his neck, teasing the area that sported the tattoo he'd gotten for his sixteenth birthday, and he gasped. His penis became enlarged as blood rushed to it. Apparently Naruto had gotten the message loud and clear.

Naruto felt the erection against his legs and smiled against the smaller teen's neck. But first, he had to know something. Pulling away slightly, he looked at Sasuke with eyes full of concern.

"Are you sure you wanna do this, 'ttebayo?" he asked. "I don't wanna take advantage of you, especially at a time like this, and especially if this is your first time…"

Sasuke hesitated for a moment. Did he want to do this? He was afraid of it hurting, of this being just a one-night stand, of being taken advantage of. But then, technically this wasn't his first time, although he really didn't like to think about his actual first time. And from what he'd seen so far, Naruto didn't seem to be the type of guy to take advantage. Besides, over the last few days he'd been around Naruto, he had fallen ever more hopelessly in love with the blond. How could he say no, even if it might be bad for him? That decided it.

"I'm sure," responded the raven-haired teen quietly. "I need you, I love you, and I want to be yours."

Naruto smiled gently, sincerely.

"I love you too, Sasuke," he whispered into the raven's ear, giving it a soft lick. He grabbed a tube of lube from the nightstand, and then he was pushing Sasuke's legs apart and putting them over his shoulders. The other teenager tried to help him take off his pants, but Naruto grabbed his wrists and pinioned them over his head while he unclasped his own jeans and pulled them and his boxers down past his large erection. He uncapped the lube and coated his fingers in it.

A wet, slick finger slid inside of Sasuke, and he gasped in surprise… Naruto's fingers felt a little cold. But then he forgot that as a second, then a third finger were put inside him, stretching him, scissoring, brushing gently and sensuously against his prostate, preparing him for Naruto's monstrosity of a dick.

And then Naruto was pushing inside of him, filling him to the brink. The transition between fingers and erection was so sudden that the raven almost cried out in pain, but once Naruto was inside he waited for Sasuke to adjust, stroking him to ease his discomfort, before beginning a slow but strong rhythm in and out, in and out, always stopping just short of the spot that would make his partner come.

There was a wonderful feeling building up inside of both boys. The feeling of sharing this sort of intimacy with each other was absolutely elating, and a kind of blissful happiness coursed through Naruto. He began thrusting deeper, moving more quickly, and Sasuke was gasping, trying to get a handle on himself as the feeling pooled in his groin.

"Na-Naruto…" he panted, "I-I'm going t-to… I'm going to- AGH!" he screamed as Naruto hit his prostate, going faster. At the same time, the blond bent his head down, capturing the raven's neck in his mouth and clamping down almost painfully on the tattooed nape, brushing the tip of his tongue -and his tongue piercing- against the soft sensitive skin. With another scream, Sasuke came, his semen shooting all over their stomachs and chests. With a final thrust and a loud shout of ecstasy, Naruto also came, his seed filling the smaller teen to the brink and dripping from his saturated hole around the shaft of Naruto's penis.

Naruto pulled out and collapsed beside Sasuke on the bed, pulling the raven-haired teenager into his arms and kissing him.

"Listen to me, Sasuke," he whispered, his soft, warm breath fluttering against the raven's ear. "I love you. I don't ever wanna let you go. From now on, where you go, I go. If you die, I die. That's a promise, 'ttebayo."

"You had better not break that promise, dobe," the raven-haired teen whispered back, kissing the taller blond. "I love you so much… I couldn't take it if you died. I won't lose you too…"

They fell asleep, hands clasped together.

Downstairs, everyone looked very awkward or very disgusted or a combination of both. Except for Naruko, who looked extremely happy, and Gaara, who remained as blank as ever.

"Kyuubi, did you know Naruto was gay, 'ttebane?" asked Kushina in surprise.

"Yep, 'ttedana," replied the red-haired man, shrugging. "I didn't think it was important to tell you. After all, it's not my information to divulge…"

"Aww, I knew it!" said Naruko excitedly. "They make such a cute couple!" She clapped her hands together happily.

"Wait, that was a guy screaming?" said Kiba, blanching. "Oh god, I think I just lost what was left of my sanity…"

"I had no idea Sasuke's voice could reach such a high register," commented Gaara blandly.

"I'm scarred for life," shouted the brunet. "Where's a hammer when you need it! Bad images! Very bad images!" He ran around like a chicken with its head cut off, hitting himself in the head with his fists, trying to knock himself unconscious.

Everyone else rolled their eyes.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP WAKE UP YOU LAZY SHIT BEEP BEEP BEEP GODDAMMIT!

"Naruto, did your alarm clock just curse at us?" Sasuke mumbled sleepily.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP YOU LAZY-ASS MOTHERFUCKER GET YOUR SHITTY ASS OUTTA BED! BEEP BEEP BEEP-CRASH!

"Yes, it did," groaned Naruto, throwing his alarm clock at the wall and smashing it. "The operative word there is 'did.' Just go back to sleep…"

"Dually noted," the raven-haired teen breathed as he fell asleep again, nestling into the safety and comfort of the blond's arms. Naruto stayed awake just a little bit longer, enough to note how warm Sasuke's body was against his own and to hope that the other boy didn't have a fever.

Everyone –except Kushina, who was still asleep- was drinking the last of the black tea in the kitchen when the two causes of the previous night's excitement slouched in, yawning.

"Did you sleep well, sleeping beauties?" asked Kyuubi, eying Naruto, who was wearing nothing more than the boxers he'd worn yesterday, and Sasuke, who was wearing a pair of boxers and a Metallica T-shirt from the bottom of Naruto's nightclothes drawer. The boxers were tied off at the waist to keep them from slipping off.

Both boys stopped yawning long enough to shoot him a glare.

"We slept fine, 'ttebayo," said Naruto peevishly. "What about you?"

"I had nightmares," said Kiba with a haunted look in his brown eyes. "I dreamed of things knocking against the wall and men screaming in ecstasy. The horror… Oh the horror… I think I've lost all my innocence…"

"I didn't ask your overly dramatic sorry not-so-innocent ass, 'ttebayo," growled the blond, throwing the sugar bowl at him.

"So is it official?" asked Naruko and Sayuri at the same time.

Naruto and Sasuke nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"We discussed it before we came down," added the taller teenager.

Naruko and Sayuri squealed happily and did a little happy dance.

"What the fuck?" muttered Sasuke, edging closer to his boyfriend.

"I have no idea," Naruto murmured back, putting a protective arm around the raven, "but it scares me."

"I thought you were gay, Naruto," teased Kyuubi. "I thought I heard a girl up there in your room, screaming as you fucked her brains out, 'ttedana."

Sasuke looked positively murderous, and Naruto had to really work to physically restrain the smaller teenager to stop him from taking his kusanagi from the nearby living room coffee table and slitting the red-haired man from ear to ear. Goddamn, for a small skinny guy Sasuke was pretty strong.

"Well, I'd like to see you remain composed when someone with a dick the size of the Tokyo Tower is fucking you up the ass," the raven snarled. "That dick of his is not normal. It's a mutant."

"Well I wouldn't know, 'ttedana," said Kyuubi, grinning. "I'm always the fucker, not the fuckee."

Naruto blushed tremendously, and everyone else stared at the three of them open-mouthed.

"Oh. My. God," moaned Kiba, turning a pale shade of green that could be compared to pea soup. "I did not need to know any of that. The terrifying mental images that puts in my head… Where are my sedatives?" He slunk off, giving Sasuke and Naruto a wide berth.

"I think I have a theory about where they are, 'ttedana," Kyuubi called after him, grinning mischievously.

"Where?" the brunette called back.

"Up Sasuke's ass."

This time Naruto didn't bother to stop the raven as he beat his older brother into a pulp, although he still held onto the sword tightly.

"Help, Naruto! Get your psychotic midget boyfriend off of me, 'ttedana!"

"Then you shouldn't have teased him, 'ttebayo…"

"DIE, YOU PRICK! WHY WON'T YOU FUCKING DIE!"

"AGH!"

EAT MY DUST, PROFESSIONAL PORNO WRITERS! MWAHAHAHA! (I kid...)

I got the idea of using comfort sex as a thing in my story after reading a fanfic called Agent Duck-Butt, where Naruto and Sasuke are secret agents and about halfway through the story Sasuke has a major emotional breakdown and Naruto basically fucks him and gets fucked by him to get him to shut up about major psychotic breakdown shit.

Of course, it's more funny than sad or anything else, so you might like it more… I'm just kidding; you better like this one more or I'll skin you alive.

Naruto: D No! Bad!

Me: T_T B-but-

Sasuke: -_- It's not polite to threaten your readers.

Me: -_- Shut up, Duck-Butt.

Sasuke: :( Fuck you, bitch.

Me: I don't swing that way. 8D

Anyways, that's enough about my sexual quirkiness. Review please, and stay tuned for the next chapter! I dunno what's gonna happen next chapter, but it'll be here eventually! And it'll be good! Or else…

Naruto: O.o You scare me.

Me: -_- I scare everyone. Well, almost everyone… I have some friends who are crazier than I am.

Sasuke: o.O I didn't know there was anyone crazier than you…

Me: _ There are plenty out there. Wait a second; didn't we already go over this, twice? Fuck it, this chapter's over. Go make out or something so I can go to sleep.

And by the way, the Tokyo Tower is a tower in Tokyo. That may sound obvious, but it is also a smaller almost replica of the Eiffel Tower. I went up there on a trip to Japan, and since I'm terrified of heights I couldn't even get close to the windows, which have a panoramic view, because I got horrible vertigo. I was immensely glad when we took the elevator back down to our bus. XD

Anyway, that's enough about me. Review, dammit, or else!
