Author’s note: Hello, dear readers. Here you have the new chapter. I am beginning to wrap this story up; I’m thinking it’s going to have 2 or 3 more chapters. Enjoy!
Warning: This is a yaoi fanfiction. If you are offended by that or if you are not the proper age, don’t read. Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto and I don’t make any profits from this work. Chapter 7: Night terrors Naruto felt strong arms wrapped around him and a warm body covering his from behind as he opened his eyes and looked around the dark room. He was in his bed, trying to fall asleep while Sasuke held him. The brunet had already dozed off, but Naruto was kept awake by the memory of what went down earlier in the day.
He, together with Sasuke and Itachi had gone to tell the parents about his and Sasuke’s relationship, only to be the ones receiving shocking news. He learned from Fugaku that the way in which his parents had died eight years ago had not been an accident. While feeling the sting of embarrassment, Naruto remembered his legs failed to support him and Sasuke had to hold him up when he learned of the news. Fugaku had been very gentle as he explained that Naruto’s parents had been the target of a particularly powerful man, named Orochimaru. Orochimaru was the owner of Orochimaru enterprises, company which manufactured plastic containers. He spent years in court with Minato, because his company never complied with pollution regulations, but he always found a way to buy his way out of a legal charge. Minato however, seeing the injustice that was being made fought even harder, appealing and discovering new evidence that indisputably incriminated Orochimaru Enterprises.
When Naruto’s parents died, they were in the middle of a trial in which Orochimaru had poor chances of winning. As such, Fugaku explained, Orochimaru hired a professional killer to make their deaths seem an accident. At the time, nobody seemed to question the police’s final report, everybody being 100% convinced, that while the death of young Minato and Kushina was a tragedy, it was nothing more than an accident. However, two weeks ago, Fugaku got a call informing him that there was a possibility the accident from 8 years ago had not in fact been an accident. The head of the Uchiha family didn’t tell Naruto anything until now, because he wanted to personally investigate the matter and he had spent all this time working with the best detectives in the field to unravel evidence that supported the theory of their death being murder. Unfortunately, they found out that all the evidence pointed towards murder and towards Orochimaru as the culprit.
There have been other cases of people dying under suspicious circumstance while they were having unfavorable business with Orochimaru, and that was what drew the attention upon the death of Minato and Kushina. Once the case started being thoroughly investigated, the evidence was overwhelming. All that was left to do now was to accuse and prosecute Orochimaru, which wasn’t going to be easy. However, Fugaku had reassured Naruto that he will do everything in his power to put the murderer behind bars.
Under all the confusion, anger, frustration and numbness Naruto felt, as he heard all, that he couldn’t help but be curious as to why the older man was so eager to help him. The pain of having to deal once more with the death of his parents numbed Naruto enough to simply ask the man:
“Why are you helping me?” “I’m sorry. I don’t understand.” “You hated my dad. You were probably glad he died. Why are you so determined to catch the man who killed him? Why do you care?” As the boy asked that he could see the older man’s face change. He saw sadness, then disappointment and finally anger.
“How dare you say that to me? How could you even think like that? Naruto, it is true that your father and me never saw eye to eye, but I didn’t hate him. I just couldn’t stand him as a man, but I respected him as a lawyer and I never would have wished him death. What kind of person do you think I am?” “Well, I-” “And how can you even ask me why I want to help you? I have welcomed you into my home and raised you as my son. I have looked past the differences I had with your father. His death erased any last trace of resentment I might have felt towards him or you. I may not be the type of person to blatantly express love, but please be aware of this Naruto – I carry deep affections for you…as I do for the rest of my sons.” The shock Naruto felt at Fugaku’s confession served to both calm him and take his mind off his parents, but also to confuse the hell out of him. He never would have guessed the older man felt like that about him. Now that he knew how the man regarded him, he was even more scared of telling him about his relationship with Sasuke, because now he knew he could lose his affection. Before, when he thought Fugaku felt nothing for him, he thought that if the man didn’t approve of his and Sasuke’s relationship, it was going to suck, but it wasn’t as if he would lose the man’s love and respect, because he didn’t know he had them. Now however….
Sasuke had been very attentive of him the entire time, but Naruto felt like he would rather be alone. After the discussion about his parents, during which Sasuke stood by him, and held a hand on his lower back, he locked himself in his room, not wanting to speak or see anyone. He just stood there, lying in bed reminiscing about his folks. He found that he didn’t remember them as well as he would have liked. He realized that he had lived without them for as long as he had lived with them…in a way he supposed it was normal, but on the other hand it pained him terribly that he couldn’t remember what their voices sounded like.
Sasuke tried to come into his room and talk to him, but he didn’t allow him, feeling the need to be alone. He spent long hours thinking of his parents and crying. As night came he felt hungry and he went downstairs to have a snack. While he was eating he started thinking about Sasuke and how terribly he had treated the brunet. The boy only wanted to help him, and he rejected him so brutally. Naruto started feeling incredibly alone and depressed as he thought about Sasuke, and he decided that he was going to die if he didn’t see him. As such, he made his way up the stairs and to Sasuke’s room. When he entered Sasuke’s room the boy was reading a book, his eyes heavy with sleep.
“Naruto! Are you ok?” “Yeah. I-…Sasuke, I’m sorry about how I treated you today. I was a jerk. You were only trying to help and…” “It’s ok, there’s no need for you to apologize. It’s…it’s perfectly understandable.” The blonde approached Sasuke’s bed as they were talking and sat on it. He shared a long, slow kiss with the brunet. Sasuke tried to convey all his love and how sorry he felt in that kiss. After they broke apart Naruto was the first to speak.
“Umm…do you mind…aaa, would you like to…aaa…sleep with me tonight?”
Sasuke’s eyes got huge as he starred at the boy in disbelief.
“NO! Oh my god! Not like that! I mean SLEEP sleep, not sex sleep. I- I just don’t feel like being alone any longer.” Naruto said, waving his hands.
“Sure, no problem.” Sasuke smiled cheekily.
As such, Naruto found himself in the arms of the other boy, while he looked around his dark room, trying to find sleep. He tried to push the thoughts of his parents in the back of his mind and just focus on the steady breathing and soft heartbeats of the other boy. As he did that he was slowly swept away into sleep.
*
Sasuke was drawn from his sleep by loud moans and pained screams. He opened his eyes, confused as to where he was for a second, before he looked next to him where he saw Naruto. The boy was covered in sweat, his blond hair, a shade darker and plastered on his face in wet strands. His face was flushed, wearing a pained expression and he was curled on the side clenching on a pillow with his fists. His body was convulsing as another heart freezing scream tore Sasuke’s ears apart. The brunet was scared to see Naruto like this. He looked as if he was being tortured and the way his body was spasming looked unhealthy. Sasuke didn’t know what else to do so he tightly hugged the other boy, while trying to wake him up by whispering in his ear. He held an iron embrace on the him, effectively stopping his shaking.
“Naruto, wake up. It’s ok, you are safe. I am here with you, baby. It’s ok.”
The blonde stopped shaking as he was awakened from his nightmare by Sasuke’s gentle words.
“Sasuke?”
“I’m here baby, I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.” Sasuke said this as he still held the other boy. He was suffocating from the heat Naruto was emanating and from the duvet, but he didn’t pull away. He wanted Naruto to feel him close, to know that he was not alone.
“Oh, Sasuke…” the blonde sighed and he turned around in Sasuke’s arms so that he was now facing the other boy.
Sasuke could now see better the tears that streaked Naruto’s face and the sadness that tainted his eyes. With a soft hand he wiped the boy’s face while caressing his cheek. Naruto flinched at the touch and Sasuke didn’t know whether to pull back or not. He didn’t have time to be confused for long because the blonde assaulted his mouth with his own, engaging him in an aggressive kiss. Sasuke could tell this was not a regular kiss…it was too desperate, too raw. This was just Naruto’s way to hide away from his sorrow, a violent distraction which he needed in order to overcome his pain. The brunet thought this was not the ideal situation, and that he would rather have Naruto kiss him out of love, not as a distraction, but he loved the other boy, and he knew that right now this was what he needed, so he was willing to sacrifice his own desires in order to make him feel better.
Naruto began to tear off Sasuke’s clothes as he still held him in the painful lip lock. When he discarded Sasuke’s shirt he moved his mouth to bite and suck at the long pale neck in front of him.
“Naruto…” concern could be read in the brunet’s voice rather than arousal.
“Sasuke, please…please help me. I need this.” As he said that Naruto looked into the other boy’s eyes and the brunet was defeated by what he read there. He knew then and there that Naruto could ask anything of him, and he wouldn’t be able to say no. He kissed Naruto back, beginning to undress him. His actions where soft and gentle trying to soothe the other boy, but to no avail. Naruto’s moves were still urgent and brutal. However, now Sasuke was beginning to lose himself to the arousal and craving he felt of the other’s body.
“Ahhh!” Naruto cried out as Sasuke licked and bit at his nipples. The boys were soon naked and rubbing against each other. Naruto’s hand slipped downwards to grab Sasuke’s erection. The boy let out a groan as he felt his dick being roughly stroked. In return, he moved his hands to Naruto’s ass and squeezed hard. Their bodies were slick with sweat and slid easily against each other. Naruto thrust his hard cock against the other’s body as he felt his buttocks being massaged. His hand sped up on Sasuke’s cock and he could feel the boy’s abdomen contracting.
“Naruto…ahh…slow down…”
The blonde didn’t listen, his hand keeping the fast pace he set previously. Moreover, he moved his mouth to the pale neck stretched out in front of him and bit down hard where the neck met the shoulder.
“Arhhh!!!” Sasuke tried to muffle his cry against the pillows, not wanting to wake up the entire house. He came hard, his body convulsing as the merciless hand on his member milked him dry.
He wanted to catch his breath for a second, but the impatient boy in his arms wouldn’t wait. He rubbed insistently against his body, while clinging with both hands to his back.
“Fuck me! F-fuck me with your fingers, Sasuke!”
The brunet felt his cock twitch at the blunt request. He complied however, slipping his moist fingers between pert cheeks. He felt around the ridges of the puckered entrance while the blonde squirmed in his arms.
“Arhhhh, Sasuke! Oh yeah!”
The brunet kissed him in order to keep him from crying out. Their room was pretty much sound proof, but if Naruto kept that up, they would awaken his parents for sure. Naruto moaned in his mouth as he slipped the tip of one digit inside. The blonde seemed torn between pushing down on the inquisitive finger and pushing up against the hard slippery abdomen in front of him. The brunet pushed his finger further in and then he started moving it in and out. Soon he added a second one eliciting a groan from the Naruto. As he started pumping his fingers in and out of the warm body he realized the position would not permit him to touch a point within Naruto, of which he had read about before. So he pulled out his fingers, which earned him a scowl from the blonde and holding Naruto’s ass in both hands, rolled them over so that Naruto was straddling him. As they were in the new position, he sucked his fingers, wetting them before stabbing them inside the other boy roughly, making Naruto throw his head back in a silent scream. The blonde started to push back, ridding Sasuke’s hand like his life depended on it. His body made an impossible arch and he bit his lip until he drew blood in order to keep himself from screaming when Sasuke hit his prostate.
“Ohhh….aahh, oh my god. Pleas-…aaa…please Sasuke. Fuck me! Please, please fuck me.”
Sasuke thought he was going to go mad when he heard Naruto’s pleading. He loved the boy with all his heart, and there was nothing he wanted to do more, but he was unsure of Naruto’s feelings. He suspected the other boy felt deep affection for him as well, but he was a bit concerned because of the timing. Naruto just found out that his parents were murdered and he was emotionally unstable, so Sasuke didn’t want to feel like he was taking advantage of him.
“Naruto I-…I can’t…not now…”
“Oh, but why Sasuke, why? Please I need this so bad! I need you in me
now. Please…”
He continued moving up and down on Sasuke’s fingers as he said that and he also moved one of his hands to wrap it around Sasuke’s leaking sex, pumping him roughly. Sasuke was absolutely torn. He wanted to comply with Naruto’s begging because he wanted to help the blonde find release and with it, hopefully some peace. Also, he himself was in desperate need of release, but he was worried about not moving too fast. However then he thought about Naruto, and the many years since he had known him. He started wondering what exactly could go so terribly wrong if they had sex now. He wondered what would be the perfect time to have sex. Was there even such a thing as the perfect time? He was starting to lose his resolve, because his foggy mind couldn’t think of any reasonable arguments in favor of not fucking Naruto. When he felt the boy slide down his body and engulf his entire length in his hot, wet mouth, Sasuke forgot all about his resolve…he forgot all the reasons for which he shouldn’t have sex with the blonde, forgot even his own name. He had never before felt such intense pleasure, as the one he was feeling right now. Naruto’s mouth felt like heaven and it fitted perfectly with his cock, as if the blonde was put on this planet solely for giving him head. The boy started to move up and down, slicking him with generous amounts of saliva, which mixed with his precome. He tangled his hands in wet, blond strands and pulled, partly out of desperation, partly because he wanted to stop the other before he came.
“Ahh, Naruto stop. Stop or I’m gonna cum.”
The blond complied, crawling up the sweaty body beneath him once more. He positioned himself so that Sasuke’s cock was rubbing between his buttocks, sliding between the two globes deliciously.
“Sasuke….please, I need to feel you in me. I feel so empty – fill me up.”
The brunet was only human and he thought no living person could resist that. With that thought in mind he positioned Naruto so that his hole was aligned with the tip of his cock, and started slowly pushing in. The brunet was out of breath as he gently slid inside hot bliss. He didn’t stop until he was fully inside, and once he was he gripped Naruto’s hips in order to keep him still.
Naruto felt like his body was ripped in half. The lower half of his body was numb with pain and his heart beat so fast that he thought it was going to rip straight out of his ribcage. He welcomed the moment in which Sasuke stilled him, taking advantage of it to adjust to the brunet’s girth. His body was starting to relax and the pain to fade away. He swayed his hips experimentally, causing the brunet to hitch his breath.
“Are you o-ok Naruto? Does it hurt?”
“Yeah, it hurts, but I’m fine.” He said rolling his hips once more. He noticed that the more he moved around, the better he felt, the pain starting to disappear.
Sasuke tried to push up while Naruto rolled his hips, but their movements were awkward and inexperienced. However, neither of them cared, because they were lost far away in the pleasure of it all. Soon, their bodies instinctively found their rhythm, which they kept until they were panting heavily. Purely out of luck, one of Sasuke’s thrusts hit Naruto’s prostate, causing the blonde to let out a sharp cry. They weren’t concerned about waking the parents up any more. They weren’t concerned about anything anymore. They felt like nothing existed beyond the confines of this room, of this bed. Nothing else matter in the world other than each other’s eyes, heartbeats, panting. To Naruto there was no other feeling in the world expect for that created by Sasuke’s cock deep within him and to Sasuke there was nothing else except the burning sensation he felt in the middle of his chest as he watched the blonde boy ride him.
The brunet tried to angle his thrusts so that he would hit Naruto’s sweet spot again, which he did, turning the blonde into an incoherent mess.
“Sasuke…ahh…I’m so close. Touch me…”
The boy complied, licking his palm before wrapping it around Naruto’s engorged cock. He pumped it in time with the thrusts he made within the boy, which had Naruto coming in under a minute.
“Ahhhh, fuckkkkk!”
Naruto came all over Sasuke’s chest, his body clenching down on the sex within it. Sasuke’s eyes went wide as he pushed a few more times before coming hard inside the body on top of him. Naruto collapsed on top of Sasuke, both boys being shaken by their powerful orgasms. Sasuke slipped out with a soft, wet sound. The blonde was splayed on top of Sasuke, breathing hard and not moving.
“Sasuke?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you.”
“Sure.”
“Sasuke?”
“Yeah.”
“I-…I think I love you.”
That hit the brunet like a wave of cold water. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He thought about his fears related to having sex with Naruto and now they all seemed stupid. How could he have doubted the blonde?
“Naruto?”
“Yeah.”
“I think I love you too. And...”
“Yes?”
“And don’t worry, because everything is going to be fine. I promise.”
“Thank you, Sasuke.”
*
Sasuke woke up early the next morning and left Naruto’s room, leaving behind a note. Three hours later, when the blonde awoke he found the note, reading it through a sleepy fog that covered his eyes.
I’m sorry I had to leave, but you understand why. I love you, dobe. Naruto smiled as he reread the note, remembering last night with a blush covering his cheeks. Last night he lost all his inhibitions and need took over him. He was felt so happy he had Sasuke in his life. He was glad he found someone who he could trust and love without boundaries. He couldn’t believe how lucky he was that the other boy returned his feelings.
As he got up and went to shower he thought about his parents again. He was hurt and he wanted their killer to receive his punishment. He felt revenge try to take over him for a moment before a new thought came into his mind. Yes, Orochimaru was a horrible man and he deserved to rot for what he did to his parents and to other innocent people, but at the end of the day his parents were still dead. And no matter how much it hurt to admit it, he realized that it didn’t really matter what happened from now on regarding his parents’ murder case, because they were still going to be dead. All the revenge in the world was not going to bring them back. Like this Naruto decided that even if he was going to seek for Orochimaru to get punished, he was not going to let his heart become clouded by revenge and hatred. He was going to respect his parents by accepting their death and seeking to fill his life with love and happiness. It’s what his parents would have wanted for him anyway.
Naruto entered the dining room to find everybody was still seated at the table having breakfast.
“Good morning. Umm, sorry for sleeping in.”
“No problem darling. Come, sit down.” Mikoto smiled while saying that.
Naruto sat down across the table from Sasuke. It was Sunday, so only the two boys, Mikoto and Fugaku were home. He briefly made eye contact with the brunet and he could feel a blush creeping over his face. He saw the other boy smile and look away. They ate in silence for a while, before Fugaku spoke.
“Are you alright, Naruto? The matter is under work, and as soon as I heard any news regarding its development I will let you know. But don’t worry, we will get Orochimaru this time.”
“I’m ok, Fugaku-san. I hope you will able to uncover him for who he truly is soon enough.”
The man gave one of his rare smiles, before scowling slightly as if he just remembered something.
“Say Sasuke, yesterday before I told Naruto the dreadful news, I think there was something you wanted to talk to me about, wasn’t there?”
Naruto choked on his milk, coughing furiously. He looked at Sasuke, panic written all over his face. Sasuke however appeared rather calm. Still he didn’t speak.
“Well?” the man asked again.
Sasuke hesitated for another moment before deciding there was never going to be a right time to tell his parents about him being gay and about his relationship with Naruto.
“Father, mother, there is something I- ah, we, Naruto and I have to tell you.”
The room fell silent as a grave, everybody waiting for Sasuke to continue. Naruto had no idea what the other boy was planning to say and he felt horror rise in him.
“Hah, I guess there is no gentle way to put this. I am happy to announce that I have found love in my life.”
At that Mikoto smiled widely, but then suddenly frowned looking at Naruto, starting to fully comprehend that her son was trying to tell them.
“I have known for a few years now that I prefer men as opposed to women, that is to say I am a homosexual. Moreover, I have fallen in love with Naruto, and he with me. We are currently in a loving relationship and I thought it was high time I told you about all of this. I am sorry I didn’t say anything before. I have spoken to Itachi about this and he fully supports me, us, but he had repeatedly pointed out that I need to talk to you and he is right. I should have done this sooner, but I still hope you can accept our relationship.”
Naruto assisted to the longest and most awkward silence of his life. A full minute passed before even a sound, let alone a word could be heard. The parents’ expressions seemed to be frozen and he couldn’t guess what they were thinking.
“Ahem…I would really appreciate if you could say something. Please…” Sasuke’s voice was small, modest.
“For how long have you known you like boys?” his mother asked.
“Aaa, let me see…about three years now.”
“And you didn’t say anything in three years? Is Naruto your first boyfriend?”
“Umm, yes. I was very confused at first. I-…I thought it was wrong to like boys so I tried to deny my feelings. But then I realized that I am who I am and I can’t live a life pretending to be someone else, because I would never be happy. After that I talked to Itachi about it and he reassured me that everything is alright as long as I stay true to myself. Then I kinda started to fall in love with Naruto I guess. So there have been no other boys.”
“How long have you been ahem, together?”
“Just a couple of weeks, but I’ve liked him a lot longer. I just…didn’t say anything to him.”
“It
is wrong.” were the first words Fugaku spoke.
“Aaaa, I’m sorry, what?” the brunet asked confused.
“You said that you thought liking boys was wrong…well, it is wrong.”
Everybody was silent for a moment looking at the old man, expecting him to argue his point, but he didn’t. Sasuke was at a loss for words. His mother only seemed angry that he didn’t tell her sooner – she didn’t appear to have a problem with the fact that he liked boys altogether. His father however seemed to think liking boys was, in itself wrong. That rendered the boy speechless.
“Why?” Naruto asked.
Everybody turned to look at him. The man didn’t answer. He looked like he didn’t quite understand the question, so Naruto repeated himself.
“Why? Why exactly is it wrong to like boys?”
“Because it is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s not natural.” The man answered sure of himself.
“But what is exactly is natural? What does that mean? And who precisely says how it’s
supposed to be?”
“The majority of the people. The majority decides what natural and normal represents and whoever doesn’t comply is not normal and should be cast aside for everything to function properly.”
“So, Fugaku-san, you are saying basically that we should all fall in line; nobody should stand out.”
“Exactly.”
“Hmm, then please explain something to me because I seemed to have misunderstood something. If you say everybody should comply to the norm for the natural order of things, then why are you, yourself out of the norm, and why do you encourage your own son to step out of the norm as well?”
“I- I don’t understand.”
“Well, you Uchiha Fugaku do not comply by the norm set by the majority of the people. You are not ordinary, because if you were you wouldn’t run a company like Uchiha Corporation. You are quite extraordinary in many aspects, striving hard to get out of the norm, to differentiate yourself from the rest of the mortals. And moreover, you encourage, no, better yet, you demand of your older son to do the same. I mean isn’t that you have been teaching Itachi all this years?”
Sasuke stared in awe at Naruto. He couldn’t believe the way the boy turned the conversation in their favor. Also he couldn’t believe the balls on his boyfriend to stand up to his dad like that. He was really proud to be with the blonde.
Fugaku was literally speechless and desperately looked at his wife for help. Mikoto, however couldn’t or rather didn’t want to help him. She thought Naruto was right and there was nothing wrong with whatever sexual orientation as long as her son is happy. She was happy for Sasuke and Naruto for discovering themselves as individuals and for finding a loving partner in each other. Her only problem was the lack of trust they have both displayed, for keeping this a secret for so long. She always wanted to raise her boys in a trusting atmosphere where anything could be shared. However, now that she saw her husband’s reaction she sort of understood why the boys kept it a secret for so long.
Fugaku still missed his arguments and looked lost and defeated. Mikoto knew that he loved Sasuke very much and he also cared deeply about Naruto, so she knew that with a little bit of an adjustment period the man would come along, and he would accept their relationship. In the end, what would they gain by opposing the relationship? It would only bring pain and sorrow for everybody. She put a hand on her husband’s shoulder and smiled widely before saying,
“Sasuke, Naruto, we are happy for you, and we wish you all the best in your relationship. I’m truly disappointed that you didn’t trust us enough to tell us before, but I suppose I can understand. However, please, from now on, don’t be afraid of us and don’t keep secrets.”
Fugaku looked at his wife in protest but she sent him a death glare even though she was smiling. He backed off, because there was nothing he could say anyway. Mikoto thought that the situation was a little delicate since the boys lived in the same house and they were officially stepbrothers, but then again relationships in more peculiar situation had been successful. Also she knew what it was like to be forbidden to see a person that you loved or cared about. She thought of her friend Kushina, and how much she would have liked to have a closer relationship and spend more time with her, but now she couldn’t. She regretted that every single day, and now she was not going to do the same to her son.
Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and smiled over the table. They couldn’t believe how easy they got off. They also couldn’t believe that from now on they didn’t have to hide anymore.
“So, who’s up for dessert?” Mikoto asked smiling.
