Sensual Flame

Sensual Flame

~*Chapter 9*~

A few days passed without going out with their friends. Sasuke needed to be able to have people around him; first it was Naruto of course, than Arashi. While Sasuke was with Naruto and Arashi, he began to feel much more comfortable with people around him. Not much, but a little.

He had always been “anti-social”. He did not like new people in his life, especially because then he would have to trust them and open up to them. With his friends, he was open but not so much that it could hurt him in any way, mentally, physically or in any other way.

To be able to trust a person was hard for him. He knew, thanks to the rape, he had changed a lot, but he still kept his mask. Right now he was watching TV with Naruto who was holding him in his arms. He snuggled closer to him and smiled, he would be just as happy to stay with the blond for the rest of his life. Friends were not necessary to him, since he had Naruto, his best friend, and lover.

Nao, Naruto’s fox pet, jumped into his lap and he heard a chuckle from the blond. He started to pet the fox which yipped in thanks and snuggled into Sasuke’s lap. The raven looked up to see Naruto’s eyes on the TV and not on him to mock him about what happened a few days ago with the kit. He looked back at the kit which was facing him and staring at him. He cocked his face to the right a little and the kit did the same thing. Sasuke smiled and reached out to pet the fox which let him do so and enjoyed the fondling, playing with its fur.

“I have to go back to work soon Sasuke.” Naruto stated out of the blue and looked down at Sasuke who stiffened as soon as he heard the blond say it.

“I know, but I don’t really want to be alone.” Whispered the raven haired man.

“Tell you what, move in here with me. It’ll be much easier for both of us to see each other.” The blond stated once again and smiled down at the raven.

“Is that okay with you?” Mumbled Sasuke, which earned him a glare.

“Sasuke, stop acting like this already. You know I would love to have you here with me. Stop asking me if I love you or just want to use you as he did.” Snapped the blond, he felt Sasuke go frigid and looked up at him.

“I need time! Don’t ask me to just forget it so easily!” The raven snapped back and stood up, which made Nao fall on its back and growl at the raven.

Sasuke made his way to the front door but he was stopped by a hand on his arm, he tried to snatch his arm back but he couldn’t. He started to struggle against Naruto’s hold and was panicking. The strong hand on his arm made him remember Gaara and what he had done to him. His eyes started to get wet and yelled loudly to let him go.

Naruto was annoyed by always having to prove that he wouldn’t hurt him or force him into anything and grabbed the boy by both of his arms this time and shook him a little, when the raven did not budge he hoisted him on his shoulder and made his way to the bedroom.

Sasuke was breathing harshly and was chocking on his saliva while screaming, crying and struggling against his love. He totally forgot that it was Naruto and thought it was Gaara who was making him feel this way. He kept yelling out Gaara’s name telling him to stop and such.

Finally when Naruto got to his room he dropped the raven on the bed and got on top of him. Sasuke kept struggling and the blond grabbed both of his wrists and held it above the raven’s head.

“Sasuke, snap out of it!” Snapped the blond at his love. The raven stopped and hiccuped, because of the crying and yelling he had just done.

“You know I won’t hurt or force you. I will wait but you should give me some credit as well. I need you to hang on and be strong for me.” The blond said as he let go of his wrist then got this look in his eyes which made Sasuke hiccup more and gulp aloud.

“What are..” He was cut off as the blond grabbed him by the waist and started to tickle him. Sasuke started to laugh so loud that the blond flinched a little, but he was enjoying seeing his love like this once again.

When they had fights way back, Naruto used this to make the raven feel better. Those wicked fingers always knew where to tickle, there was a very sensitive place on the raven which was avoided by those fingers he loved so much. The raven was glad he was not tickled there. He didn’t know what he would do if Naruto tickled him there, because that place was usually tickled lightly just before they had sex.

Sasuke was screaming for him to stop, his eyes were full of tears of joy now which made Naruto much happier. He never liked it when his love was like this. He did not show pity but love for the boy.

Naruto stopped the tickling and watched as the raven’s breath went back to normal after a few minutes and smiled at him. Sasuke smiled too and threw his arms around the tanned neck and pulled the blond closer to him. He kissed his lips lightly and hugged him tightly.

“I’m sorry Naruto.” Murmured the raven in the blonds’ ear.

“Me too, I didn’t mean to snap but I’m still angry about what Gaara did to you that I just can’t forget it. You know I am patient with you.” Whispered Naruto into Sasuke’s ear. He started to nibble on his neck lightly a few times then stopped and hugged the raven much closer to him. He changed the position and now Sasuke was on top of him lying and panting softly.

Nao came in and yipped, pacing around in the room. He was hungry and wanted to eat badly. Both of the lover’s heads shot up at the yipping and smiled.

“Let me feed him.” Smiled the raven as he got out of the blonds hands and bed. He made his way to the kitchen, Nao yipping and jumping around after Sasuke.

Sasuke took Nao’s plate and poured milk in it.. He sat down in front of the kit while he watched him lap the milk with its cute little tongue.

”I can see why Naruto likes you so much. You are so cute.” Sasuke told the kit which looked up and yipped and went back to eat.

Sasuke giggled which was okay when he was around Naruto or Arashi. It did not scare him anymore. He patted the little fox and watched him finish the milk. As soon as the kit was done he was yipping and pushing the plate with its small nose towards Sasuke, who smiled and got up to get more milk. He poured out some more for Nao and then took a glass and poured some for himself and drunk it in sips.

Sasuke was startled when he felt a hand brush against the nape of his neck and looked back to see Naruto get some milk out from the fridge and sat behind the raven. Sasuke leaned back into the warm chest and smiled. He poured more into the kit’s plate and into Sasuke’s glass and took it and drank the rest of it.

“So do you want to go out tonight?” The blond asked while licking his lips from milk.

“Sure, but somewhere private, somewhere where there aren’t a lot of people around.” Sasuke answered and turned his head into the blonds’ neck. He loved his smell. He just could not get enough of it.

Naruto stood up and put the milk away and held his hand out for Sasuke to take which he did. They smiled at each other and went to get ready to go out.

Naruto had changed into a pair of black jeans and shoes, a navy blue sweater and a black vest. Sasuke had a strange look on his face. Naruto’s black sweater slid down on his left shoulder which showed his blue t-shirt and the hem of the pants he was wearing were fold up to shorten them. Naruto chuckled at the sight of him but did not mind.

“So, let’s get your stuff first from your place then we can go and hang around in some not so crowed places.” Naruto said as he took Sasuke by the shoulder and hugged him underneath his arm.

“Are you sure it is okay?” Sasuke asked while blushing. He looked up at Naruto who gave him an annoyed look then smiled and tickled him once again which earned him a laugh, which was very rare from the raven haired man. He closed his apartment door and locked it and started to walk to the elevator.

As soon as they got out of the elevator Sasuke followed the blond since he had no idea which car belonged to Naruto. Then his eyes widened when he saw the blond approach a black Mercedes Benz.

“Wow, that’s a nice car.” Sasuke said as he checked out the car.

“You saying it like you have no car.” Naruto replied which earned him a light punch in the arm. He got in the passenger seat and Naruto to the drivers seat. He started the car and took off to Sasuke’s house.

The ride to the raven’s house was uneventful. Sasuke felt safe and suddenly wanted to listen to music and turned the CD player on. Unfortunately the blond driving the car had the bad habit of forgetting to turn the music down when he was done listening to it, so when Sasuke turned the music on he had his ears blasted out when the loud Techno music started to play. Sasuke couldn’t suppress the jump that his body involuntarily did as a result of the shock.

His face was priceless and Naruto didn’t even bother suppressing the smirk that bloomed on his face as he turned the volume down a little.

“It’s a wonder you haven’t gone deaf by now listening to music this loud!” Half shouted half mumbled Sasuke as his head started to move on its own to the music.

“It’s not that loud.” Naruto said as he looked at Sasuke for a second and smirked once again. He found the boy much more amusing than he had used to be. He had changed a lot, both of them had, and both of them had changed for the better.

In a couple minutes they got to Sasuke’s place which was an apartment as well. He had used to share it with Gaara and was a little frightened to go in. Naruto sensed it and turned to the man.

“What’s up?” Naruto asked while he took Sasuke’s hand in his and stroked his thumb over Sasuke’s one pale one.

“Gaara, I shared it with him.” Mumbled Sasuke and looked at Naruto who nodded and got out of the car. So did Sasuke after a little hesitation.

Naruto looked up at the tall apartment building and he felt a slightly smaller hand grab his own, he squeezed the smaller hand and looked at Sasuke who started to walk in a slow place, taking Naruto with him. They got into the elevator and went to the 9th floor, where Sasuke’s apartment was. The ride to the floor seemed so slow that the raven felt like it had been hours since he’d been in the iron box called an elevator.

There was a loud dinging sound which made him realize that they had reached the 9th floor. The doors opened and Naruto took his hand once again and pulled him out. He felt himself stiffen when he saw the familar place and started to shake.

“Sasuke, is this the place where he…” He trailed off when he saw how scared the raven was.

There is a saying that you should face your fears. Well Naruto took this opportunity to pull the raven with him. He already knew the number of the apartment he stayed at. Sasuke was in such a trance that he did not feel anything, he shook and was scared but saw nothing. He was snapped out of the trance when he heard the door click behind him and he stiffened and slowly looked behind him. For a second he saw Gaara’s smirking face which scared him even more. In a blink of an eye he saw Naruto’s beautiful blue orbs which made him calm a little.

“Come on Sasuke, we have things to do.” Naruto said as he walked closer to Sasuke. Once again the raven saw Gaara; he said the same thing just before he had raped him.

Naruto slowly grabbed his upper arm and Sasuke screamed a little, but once again saw Naruto not Gaara. He was getting so confused and started to hyperventilate. He was seeing Gaara again, not Naruto. He could not see which was which. All of the memories of being raped came back to him and he fell to his knees and held his head in his hands.

“Sasuke. What are you afraid of?” Naruto asked as he kneeled down in front of him. He was pushing Sasuke to get over it.

“Nobody’s here but you and me.” Whispered the blond.

Flashback

Gaara hit Sasuke hard across the face and while the raven flew to the floor the red head started to undo his belt and pants. He ripped off Sasuke’s pants and boxer, even though the raven was kicking, screaming, and hitting Gaara, the red-head still over powered him.

“Come’ on Sasuke, what are you afraid of? You know you’ll enjoy it.” Gaara said while snickering menacingly. He slapped the Uchiha once again and pushed his face down on the floor while grabbing him by the waist with his free hand.

“You will remember this forever! I’ll make sure of it!” Snapped the red head and he pushed himself into the raven haired boy who screamed in agony.

End Flashback

Sasuke was panting and fell on the floor and Naruto let him. While he was in his memories he tried to touch him but the Uchiha just screamed and scooted away from the touch. Naruto could not take it anymore and went after the Uchiha and grabbed him and hugged the shaking man to him strongly. Just as he expected, Sasuke struggled against him, wanting out of his arms. He screamed and fought back as much as he could while strong tanned hands held him in his place.

Accidentally, Sasuke hit Naruto in the crotch while he was struggling and the blond growled which made Sasuke even more frightened.

“Shhh, Sasuke, it is okay. It’s only me, Naruto. Remember? It’s only me. I won’t hurt you. I won’t force you into anything. I will wait for you as long as it takes you to get over this but you have to get over it. You are strong; I know you can do it.” Whispered the blond in the raven’s ear. He was holding him bridal style, but had to be careful so the raven would not accidentally hurt him or himself.

He started to hum to him while he rocked him in his arms. Finally after 30 minutes of more struggling against the protective hold, Sasuke started to come around and finally got tired of fighting off the blond who loved him just as much as he loved him. Soon Sasuke felt his eyes getting heavy and fell asleep in his arms. Naruto smiled and let go of him after a while. He left Sasuke on the blood red rug and went to get Sasuke’s stuff.

He put Sasuke’s stuff in a bag and put it on his back, then went to get the raven that was peacefully sleeping on the rug curled up like a cat. He smiled once again and took the young male into his arms bridal style again and took off.

As soon as he got to the first floor he told the landlord Sasuke wouldn’t be living there anymore and he got everything he wanted. He put the raven in the car and proceeded to put the bag in the trunk. He then proceeded to drive home with Sasuke asleep in the back seat.

Finally the blond arrived at his own place. He hadn’t liked Sasuke’s apartment at all. He had been able to feel some things he was not sure he should have been able to feel. He had felt so much pain and agony there. He was not sure why, was it all the rape or was something else there, some other horrible memories…?

The apartment had not been very cozy… kind of scary really. That of course may have been due to the fact that most of the furniture had looked like they had been painted in blood, and then of course there had been the actual paintings that had depicted various forms of death and suffering. He shivered as his thoughts travelled back to the apartment. It had been his idea all along, to bring Sasuke back there and make him relive the suffering he had felt there. He knew it was a huge step and maybe he was wrong to push for it so soon, but then again maybe it was the best thing to do so the raven wouldn’t be so fragile anymore. He wanted to help him in any way he could. He just hoped he was helping him in the right away

He got out of the car and took out the bag first, put it on his back and got Sasuke out of the car next. As he was making his way to the elevator he saw something move behind him, but when he glanced back there was nothing but a really skinny looking cat which was about to hiss at him for staring. He turned back and with a smile he went back to his floor and got into his apartment.

He put down the bag on the floor next to his bed and then tucked his love in and made sure he felt comfortable. He smiled when he saw the raven snuggle closer to his personal pillow which smelled so much like Naruto. He let his long hair out for a while; his head was hurting him from so much pressure.

He walked out of the room and shook his head a little to let his long, beautiful, silky blond hair fall back into its natural place. He took off to the kitchen just to see Nao yipping at something in the corner. He went to look but saw nothing there. He frowned and shook it off.

He took off his clothing while he walked to the bathroom and was naked when he got there; he threw his clothing into the laundry basket and started to shower. He washed his hair and body as well. He felt tired and wanted to join his love in bed, but he wanted him to sleep alone right now, so as soon as he was done he put a white towel around his waist and wore one on his head to dry his hair. After it was dry enough he brushed it out so it wouldn’t be so messy and such and took a seat on the couch. Nao in an instant jumped in his lap. It was really warm in the apartment so the blond decided to continue to only wear the towel around his waist but put the one that had formerly been on his head out to dry.

After sleeping for hours, finally Sasuke opened his eyes and looked around. He was really glad he hadn’t woken up in that weird dream of his where he had been pregnant and the wife of the red head. He heard some noises from outside and slowly he went out of the room to the living room where the sounds came from. He stopped at the corner and looked out from his “hiding spot” to see what he never wanted to see. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw his love in a towel and his hair out, but what really shocked him more was that he was hugging some other male who looked much shorter than the blond and was whispering things in his ear. He could not see the shorter male at all only that he was blond as well and had slightly paler skin than Naruto. First impression you ask? Not good, he felt jealousy and anger. He stepped out from his “hiding spot” and cleared his throat.

Naruto and the other blond did not let go of each other but turned their head towards the throat clearing sound. When Naruto saw Sasuke frown he smirked, he understood already what was up with him. The other male had greenish blue eyes with a similar body frame to Naruto’s but the shorter boy’s frame was a little bit wider.

“Who is he?” Sasuke asked while scoffing and glaring at the boy and Naruto who only smirked at him.
