The Rivalry

Hello everyone!! Hope you enjoy this little ficlet I put together…

“Mmmm…I love ramen so much…” Naruto sighed awkwardly to show his affection for the food while trying to shovel more of it into his mouth. He picked around the fishcakes for now-he wanted to eat all of the noodles up while they were still piping how-everyone knows that that is the best way to eat ramen. In fact, he was so absorbed in his food that he didn’t even notice that anyone was sitting on the stool next to him until he heard a familiar voice say “Miso Ramen”.

Naruto looked over at the newcomer.

“Sasuke!”…or, at least that is what he would have said, had it not been for the big mouthful of ramen he had just shoveled into his mouth. Instead, something unintelligible came out, along with a chewed-up piece of noodle that missed Sasuke’s cheek by a mere half-inch.

“Watch it, dobe.” Sasuke said, looking over Naruto with a frown.

“Well no one told you to eat here at the same time that I do!” Naruto shouted back, this time without the food in his mouth. When Sasuke didn’t reply, Naruto gave a “hmmp” and tipped the bowl up to his mouth, slurping the remainder of his soup extra-nosily for Sasuke’s sake.

“Well…I’m going to go train now…I’ve been at it since seven o’clock this morning.” Naruto said proudly as he got off his stool and pulled out his frog wallet.

“Well I’ve been training since five.” Sasuke replied in a smug voice, the kind that got Naruto’s blood boiling. “Teme…” Naruto muttered through clenched teeth, slamming his money down on the counter. “Well I’m still better than you anyway! Nahhhh!” Naruto stuck his tongue out at Sasuke and then ran off.

As his ramen finally arrived, Sasuke let the smallest of grins grace his face…sometimes Naruto really was too much.

*~~~~~~~* *~~~~~~~* *~~~~~~~*

It really was a fine day. Not too cold, not too hot, perfect for a warm September training day. Naruto grinned cheerfully as he walked further into the forest towards the place of his afternoon training. He usually trained in an area west of here; however Kiba had told him of a creek nearby where he and Akameru liked to take a dip. Naruto figured that he would cool off after a couple hours of shiruken practice.

“Ahh…here it is.” Naruto stopped in his tracks and looked around at the deserted forest area. A crystal clear stream flowed through the small grassy plain; the entire landscape was surrounded by close-growing trees which lent their shade to the ground, providing a cool lawn underneath the afternoon sun. Naruto smiled, pleased with the area. ‘I’ll have to thank Kiba for the tip later.’ Naruto thought, reaching behind him and into his pouch, withdrawing three shirukens between his fingers. He started running towards the nearest tree, jumping up into the treetop so fast that, for a second, his vision was limited to a green blur of the surrounding leaves. Up ahead he saw a large tree with several deep marks in it, probably used by Kiba during practice, he thought. Deciding to use it too, he aimed at it and managed to get all three in a nearly straight line…all of his training had been paying off. His aim was definitely improving.

*~~~~~~~* *~~~~~~~* *~~~~~~~*

About an hour into practice, Naruto paused in order to take a short break. Sitting up in a nearby tree-top, he caught his breath as he looked around. ‘It must be around three or so by now’, he thought, trying to calculate what time it was based on the position of the sun. Sweat was rolling down his neck and he could feel the cloth of his forehead protector soaked through. This didn’t bother him at all; rather, it encouraged him since he knew that he wasn’t holding back in his training. Sweating was definitely a good thing. ‘Mmm…that stream will be nice…” Naruto thought as he closed his eyes in bliss. He figured that he’d train for another two or so hours and then strip down and dive in the stream.

Grinning, he opened his eyes again, this time to see Sasuke standing on the ground underneath the tree he was in, staring up at him.

“What are you doing, dobe?” Sasuke asked, looking up at him.

Naruto jumped up and pointed at him, saying in his loud voice, “I should ask you the same thing!!!” He frowned. “Kuso… you’re always getting in my way, Sasuke! Go find your own training ground, this one’s mine.”

“Yours?” Sasuke asked, eyebrows raised. “I train here all the time.” He looked over at the tree Naruto had made into his target. “Those are your shiruken embedded in my tree right now.” He looked back up at Naruto. “And…you’re the one who is always bugging the hell out of me.”

Naruto frowned at this and made a mental note to yell at Kiba and aim a kick at Akameru later. He crossed his arms in defiance. “Well I’m not leaving.” Naruto stated.

Sasuke just shrugged. “Well neither am I.” He then took out his own shiruken and, turning around faster then Naruto could see, threw them at the target tree, knocking Naruto’s still embedded shiruken out.

“Teme!!!” Naruto yelled, taking out some of his kunai this time while running down towards Sasuke. Sasuke took out his own and dodged Naruto’s attack. He stood arrogantly to the side and said, “Missed me, dobe.” Naruto smirked back.

“I wasn’t aiming at you, Sasuke-kun,” he said in a sickingly sweet voice. Sasuke’s eyes widened as he turned and saw that Naruto’s kunai had knocked his shiruken out of the tree. He looked back at Naruto and grinned, on the inside of course. Naruto grinned widely back, and both boys were aware and excited about what they had just brought up: a rivalry.

*~~~~~~~* *~~~~~~~* *~~~~~~~*

Three hours later, both boys collapsed into a sweaty heap on the ground, panting. It had been a non-stop race, jumping and dodging and running, each one trying to outdo and out-best the other. Naruto had used Kage Bushin no Jutsu, of course, and Sasuke had used his Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu. In the end, though, it was a draw, and both boys were happily satisfied and thoroughly tired. Lying on their backs, they looked up at the setting sky. The sun hadn’t gone down yet, but it was low on the horizon. There was a little breeze, but not enough to really make a difference to the over-heated boys.

“Eh…Sasuke,” Naruto panted, looking over at Sasuke. Sasuke looked back towards him. “What?” he asked.

“You know that stream in that meadow a little ways away? That would feel real good right now.” He grinned lazily at Sasuke, and this time Sasuke allowed a bit of his own grin to show.

“I know that,” he said, “I usually go in there after I train.” At this Naruto frowned. “What? Then do you see ever see Kiba there?”

“Kiba?” Sasuke repeated, frowning, “Why would I ever see him there?”

“I don’t know…” Naruto replied, turning his gaze back to the sky again. “He just told me that he comes here sometimes. Maybe I got the places mixed up or something.”

“You would.” Sasuke said good-naturedly, causing Naruto to reach over and playfully punch him. “Hey, you’ve probably been swimming downstream of where Akameru pees so I wouldn’t be complaining if I were you.”

Sasuke wrinkled up his nose, but sat up anyway. “Well…I always take a shower when I get home anyway.” he said. “Let’s go.” Naruto nodded and sat up as well, pulling himself to his feet. Neither one said anything all the way back to the stream…although they walked in a companionable silence. Although they were rivals, they were still best friends, even if neither one would ever admit it.

As they reached the edge of the grassy plain and could see the stream sparkling in the distance, Naruto gave out a whoop and started running towards it, stripping as he did so. He threw his clothes all over as he ran; he’d pick them up later. Right now, this was bliss as he shed out of his sweaty clothes. The cool breeze caressed his hot body and, as he got down to his boxers he nearly paused, before shrugging and deciding to get rid of those too, after all, it was only Sasuke. No one else was around. He flung his yellow and green boxers off and dived in with all his glory---only to hit his head on the bottom of the shallow pool.

“Ahhh SHIT!!” he yelled, grabbing his blond head and spitting water out of his mouth. He heard someone laughing, and, looking over to see who it was, was surprised to see that it was actually Sasuke. The dark-haired boy was laughing and pulling off his shirt, still walking towards the stream. Naruto had never really heard the boy laugh before, but it was a pleasurable thing. He grinned foolishly back.

“You shouldn’t get so excited…” Sasuke chuckled, “it’s only obvious that that part of the stream is shallow, baka.”

Although Naruto would usually have some kind of stupid and loud comeback ready for him, he didn’t this time. ‘It really is nice to see him happy for once…’ he thought, watching Sasuke come closer as he pulled off his shoes. ‘He should do it more often, it makes him look…good.’

By now Sasuke was standing at the edge of the bank and had his hands on the sides of his shorts, ready to pull down. He paused, looking at Naruto, but then continued and pulled them off, discarding his own underwear along with them. A pink tinge might have been noticeable on his cheeks if Naruto had bothered to look at Sasuke’s face, but instead he just cleared his throat loudly after sizing Sasuke up (after all, he had never seen the other boy naked before) and then turned his back on him and began splashing water around. Once he was sure that Sasuke was as submerged as he was, Naruto turned around again, only to realize that this stream was indeed just a bit too crystal-clear. He could still see everything. This time, the pink tinge crept up Naruto’s cheeks.

“Why are you so quiet all of a sudden, dobe?” Sasuke prodded, “Am I really that amazing naked?”

A “Yes” was on the tip of Naruto’s tongue (although he was bewildered as to why he would ever even say this); however, he managed to turn it into a “yeah, right,” and rolled his eyes at Sasuke. Yes…attempted sarcasm was Naruto’s friend today. Naruto then proceeded to start a water-splashing fight which thankfully took both boys minds off of their somewhat awkward predicament. What was going on? Naruto had been in the onsen plenty of times before with Ero-Sennin and had never felt the same awkwardness that he did now. Of course, Ero-Sennin didn’t have those lean muscles or the washboard abs…but that was beside the point.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was having some confusing thoughts of his own. Clearly Naruto had had no problem with getting naked in front of Sasuke—heck, Sasuke would be surprised if the boy had an ounce of shame anywhere in his smooth, lean body…see, there he was again with the weird-as-hell thoughts. ‘This is Naruto…’ he thought, trying to get a hold of himself, but then he looked up and there was Naruto, laughing, blue eyes sparkling, splashing water at him. His sleek blond hair was shining with water droplets and the last of the sun’s rays.

‘If he had been a girl, I might have…’ thought Sasuke, but then STOPPED with those thoughts because there was never a time that Sasuke ever thought of girls-heck, anyone-like that before. Training and excelling were the only things that ever interested Sasuke-no girl ever had. And now here he was, thinking these kinds of things about Naruto of all people?!

“Hey!” Sasuke was suddenly aware of a hand waving frantically in front of his face. “Sasuke?” Naruto withdrew his hand and grinned. “You in there? You really are too serious all of the time, you know that, right?”

Sasuke frowned. “Yeah…or so I’ve been told.” He then gave Naruto a sideways grin and gathered some chakra in his hand to send a huge wave of water over Naruto’s face. Sputtering, the other boy the launched himself at Sasuke, and the two began to wrestle. All issues of seriousness and nakedness were forgotten as the two threw themselves into the playful fight with all of their rivalry. It was only until Naruto had clasped himself onto Sasuke’s back; locking his arms around Sasuke’s neck and his legs around his waist that Sasuke remembered that they were both naked. It was a…pressing issue to say the least.

Sasuke felt the blood rush to his face as he felt Naruto trying to better his hold behind him, and he also felt his blood rush…somewhere else that he wasn’t particularly proud to let Naruto see. He soon became aware that Naruto seemed to be in the same position as him, only he didn’t seem to notice it yet. Naruto really did have a one-track mind, it seemed, and didn’t even notice that he was on the verge of a very full and hard erection. This is what Sasuke wanted to believe, anyway.

Naruto, on the other hand, knew full well what was going down…or perhaps, ‘coming up’ would be a better phrase, only he didn’t know what to do about it. ‘Should I keep acting like nothing is happening?’ he thought frantically, ‘Will Sasuke think I’m a freak or something…? I mean, boys can’t help it…right? Ohhh…’ Naruto mentally groaned. ‘There is no way that Sasuke cannot be aware of the situation…my penis is practically stabbing him in the back!’

At a loss for what to do, Naruto ended up doing nothing. This was perhaps the worst choice, since Sasuke noticed that Naruto had become still right away. They were now in an awkward position for sure…Naruto was still wrapped around Sasuke…only he wasn’t moving anymore. If Sasuke didn’t know any better, he’d think that the other boy might just be mortified. He sighed and decided to ease Naruto’s pain.

“What’s wrong, dobe? You actually do have an ounce of shame in you?”

Naruto gasped and quickly released Sasuke. “That’s not it, it’s normal, I wasn’t trying anythi—”
Sasuke put up his hand to stop Naruto’s rambling. “Look, it’s ok.” he said, sighing, “I’ve got one too.”

Naruto held his breath and looked down at Sasuke’s manhood, it was true, the other boy was definitely in the same boat…or ship…as Naruto was.

Naruto let out his breath and started laughing. “Nice one, Sasuke.” His tone then turned teasing. “I must really turn you on then, eh?” He came closer and ran his hand down Sasuke’s chest. Underneath his fingers he felt Sasuke give a little shiver…was it from the action that Naruto just did, or was he simply just cold? Naruto’s teasing tone changed and his face grew more serious. He wasn’t sure if he should continue…could this make Sasuke hate him? He didn’t want that, but what if…? Well, Naruto always did take the risky chance in life. He decided to continue.

Naruto brought both of his hands up and placed them on Sasuke’s shoulders. He looked up into the other boy’s face, expecting…he didn’t really know what. Sasuke’s face, however, was blank. That wasn’t a bad sign, per se, but it wasn’t really the best one either.

‘But then…isn’t Sasuke’s face always blank?’ Naruto thought, ‘Yeah…except when he’s angry…that’s the only emotion he really shows. But…I don’t want to take the chance…I don’t want to lose him as my friend.’

Naruto was just about to remove his hands when he felt Sasuke’s own hands move through the water and come to rest on each side of his hips. He looked back into Sasuke’s face to find the other boy now staring back into his own intensely. Sasuke pulled Naruto closer to him, so that their bodies were almost touching, erections almost rubbing…

‘What am I doing?’ Sasuke thought desperately, although his face showed no sign of the struggle within. Sasuke didn’t know quite what was happening, or what even was going to happen, but, at that moment, it felt so good that he just knew that he didn’t really want to stop. Maybe he couldn’t stop.

Naruto’s face showed a bit more emotion…his face was a mixture of disbelief, uncertainty and…longing. He wanted Sasuke to continue, to pull him flush against his body, but the other boy was still only staring at him…Naruto realized that they were both new to this sort of thing. Neither one had any idea what to do next. Naruto decided to just go with the flow now that Sasuke wasn’t pushing him away, now that he was actually doing the opposite and had pulled him closer…

Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke’s neck and pulled them the rest of the way together. Both boys let out small groans, or rather, Sasuke let out a small groan while Naruto let out a loud moan, as their two hardened erections finally rubbed against each other. That was the moment they both lost their inhibitions and let the lustful passion flow in.
Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto’s waist and brought his lips down to crash against the other boys. As their mouths met for the first…rather, second time (although neither thought their first “kiss” was anything like what was happening now), both let out sighs and closed their eyes as their lips moved of their own accord against each others. Soon Sasuke’s tongue was probing against Naruto’s mouth, demanding entrance while the blonde-haired boy gave gladly enough. Tongues intertwined and, although both were full of passion, their rivalry once again reared it’s…err, head as they both battled for domination in each others mouth. Sasuke soon won, and then retracted his mouth from Naruto’s so that he could trail sloppy kisses down his face and the side of his neck.

Naruto sighed again out loud, tilting his head back so that he could give Sasuke a better vantage point. He then realized that they had both, at some point during their kissing, started moving their bodies against one another, rocking their hips and gyrating the water all around them.

A shock went down Naruto’s spine and into his cock as Sasuke gave a particularly good thrust, and a moan spilled out of his mouth before he could stop it.

“Should have known you’d be loud.” Sasuke mumbled into his ear, sending his hot breath and even more pleasurable shocks through Naruto’s body.

Naruto answered him with another loud moan and rocked himself hard against Sasuke’s dick. Sasuke inhaled sharply, it felt so good that it actually hurt. His cock gave a particularly big throb and twitched, brushing against the side of Naruto’s hips. He had no idea really, how to have sex with another man, other then you stick it in the only hole that they really had to offer. Never in his life did Sasuke ever think that he would need even that much information-however, here he was, all up and rearing to go…

“Turn around.” Sasuke panted, guiding Naruto with his hands. Naruto gave an unintelligible confirmation and readily turned around. Sasuke grabbed Naruto’s hips and pushed his cock against Naruto’s buttocks. He felt like he was going to explode any minute if he didn’t cum in the next…oh say second.

“Wait…wait…” gasped Naruto, clearly feeling the same way. His hand had wandered down to grasp himself; however Sasuke saw that and quickly pulled his hand away. If he wasn’t getting any, then neither was Naruto, that was for sure.

“No…you need to stretch me out first…” Naruto panted, although he was almost at the point where he didn’t really care, just as long as Sasuke finally stuck it in. He knew that it would hurt though, if he wasn’t prepared first.

“What?” Sasuke panted back, wanting nothing more then to be inside Naruto’s hot, tight ass at the moment…but he knew he had better pay attention. After all, he had no knowledge of this kind of thing.

“Yeah…” Naruto answered, “You need to…uh…kind of, well…stick your fingers in there first so that way I’ll be relaxed enough to…fit you in.” He closed his eyes and let out another moan. “Oh Sasuke…just…hurry, hurry!”

Sasuke nodded, although he didn’t know how comfortable he was with sticking his fingers up the other boy’s arse. Just then, however, his cock gave another twitch and he moaned, deciding to hell with all his reservations and just going for it. Soon his cock would be up there and that was what really mattered.

“Wait!” Naruto suddenly said, causing Sasuke to jump. “Only put one finger in first, then when I’m relaxed enough add a second and then a third. And it’s a good thing we’re in water,” he added, “this way we won’t have to worry about lubricant.”

Sasuke paused, and then asked, “How do you know all of this?”

Naruto peered back over his shoulder at Sasuke and grinned. “One time when I was at Kakashi’s house, I noticed how he had a stack of books under his bed…I was bored so I pulled them out, hoping to get ‘Come Come Paradise’ or something else he won’t let me look at while he’s in the room, but then he just walked in on me so I hid the book I had grabbed in my pouch behind my back…yeah, well…the book I happened to grab was ‘Cum Cum Men of Dice’,” he paused, laughing, “…it was about…about a high-stakes game of strip gambling…” Naruto paused all of a sudden, thinking. “Maybe he got it from Tsunade baa-chan.”

Sasuke paused too, thinking, then shrugged. Naruto was now thrusting back against his hand, and, let’s face it, they could talk all about the ‘how’s’ and ‘why’s’ of it afterwards. Right now, there were more…uh, pressing things to be thinking about at the moment. And Sasuke sure as hell didn’t want the Hokage in his mind as he was about to fuck someone for the very first time.

Sasuke shook his head to clear out the annoying thought and quickly, but efficiently, shoved his index finger up Naruto’s asshole.

“Uhh…” was all that Naruto said, before rolling his head back to lay against Sasuke’s forehead. “Another.” he said, pushing back against Sasuke’s finger…this didn’t hurt at all…maybe he was already relaxed because it was Sasuke…the pressure mounted, however, when Sasuke took the initiative (after all, who could blame him if he was a bit impatient?) to stick a total of three fingers in Naruto and stretch them.

Now it hurt a little, not very much, but a little, and it certainly felt like he couldn’t take anymore up there, it was certainly impossible, how was Sasuke ever going to fit? That’s when Sasuke hit…something…deep inside Naruto that just made him shudder and gasp.

“Do that again.” Naruto commanded, and this time when Sasuke hit it he let out a huge groan.

“I take it that feels good?” Sasuke asked, grinning despite himself. Eyes squeezed shut, Naruto only nodded. His cock achingly twitched and he reached down to touch himself again. Whenever he had masturbated before, it had never felt this good…however his hand was quickly slapped away by Sasuke’s remaining free one.

“Ok, ok,” Naruto all but sobbed. He’d give anything to be able to touch himself right now. “I’m ready.”

Sasuke didn’t wait for anything else, he quickly pulled his fingers out, and, using Naruto’s hips for leverage, sunk his cock deep into Naruto. Naruto gasped—it hurt a lot more then the fingers did, but Sasuke was actually inside of him, they were actually doing it…Naruto felt immensely happy. That, and he was finally given the satisfaction of touching his own cock.

“You alright?” Sasuke roughly panted in his ear. Naruto nodded furiously and Sasuke began licking a trail up his neck again as he started thrusting in and out of Naruto’s tight hole…it felt so good, so tight, he wanted more, more more…

Gasping and panting, water rolling off of his upper body and back into the churning pool where their bodies were joined, Sasuke reached around and removed Naruto’s hand from his dick that he had just been vigorously pumping.

Naruto mewled at this and tried to go back, however, Sasuke had other plans. He began to pump Naruto in time to his own thrusts in an out of the boy, and, once Naruto realized what he was doing, he let out another huge moan and rested himself back against Sasuke.

“Ohhh…yeah…Sasuke…” Sasuke took this as encouragement and rocked even deeper within him, trying to find the right angle so that he could get at that spot again. Naruto was letting out some beautiful moans and Sasuke wanted to give him as much pleasure as he was receiving.

“Ahh!” Naruto’s gasping had become higher in pitch and Sasuke realized that he had found the spot. His mind was hazy but he kept going at that angle, obviously pleasing his partner greatly, since Naruto was so vocal about everything.

Sasuke pumped his hand furiously up and down Naruto’s dick, all the while thrusting faster and faster. It was so much pleasure he could hardly stand it…and he could feel that any second he was about to orgasm, though each second in turn felt like forever…then all of a sudden Naruto gave a particularly high moan, thrusting his body back to meet Sasuke’s penis, impaling him deeper into his body and into that spot, then thrusting forward to meet the rapid pace of Sasuke’s hand. It felt so good and he knew he was there; he threw back his head and vocalized all of his pleasure as he came into Sasuke’s hand. His seed, of course, was carried off by the current, and just when he was descending from his euphoric high he felt a rush as Sasuke came inside of him too.

Naruto’s moans of ecstasy during his orgasm had driven Sasuke over the edge as well…he continued pounding into the blonde-haired boy as he came deep inside of him and he had an orgasm like nothing he had ever felt before.

When it was through, he collapsed his head on Naruto’s shoulder, panting and kissing the other boy’s skin gently. His hands came up and wrapped themselves around Naruto’s midsection yet again, and he sighed in bliss. Naruto placed his hands on top of Sasuke’s and leaned back into the other boy. “That was good.” he simply stated.

Sasuke, still panting, nodded his head in agreement. “That was fucking great.”

Both boys laughed and held onto each other. Sasuke gently pulled himself out of Naruto and turned the now quiet and subdued boy to face him. He planted a gentle, yet passionate kiss on the other boy’s lips and then held him close. Now that all was said and done, he was exhausted. Naruto, it seemed, felt the same way. He was nearly asleep in Sasuke’s arms.

“Hey, wake up Dobe; I don’t want to have to carry you home…”

Naruto merely grunted and snuggled deeper into Sasuke’s warm arms. The air and water were beginning to get chilly. “Ano sa…come with me.”

Sasuke smiled and replied, “Thought I just did?”

Naruto pulled back and stared as Sasuke suspiciously. “You…actually have a sense of humor? And a sick one at that!!” he smiled, his eyes closing, “We’re gonna get along just fine.”

Sasuke made his face serious. “You mean…you want to keep doing this?” Naruto looked at him incredulously and Sasuke grinned. “Ok, ok, just making sure.” Naruto grinned back.

“Come on,” Sasuke said, “Let’s get our clothes on and go, it’s getting dark.”

Naruto nodded and they pulled away from each other, although Sasuke intertwined his fingers with Naruto’s.

“Thank God we were in water”, he said, “at least it’s kind of like you had a bath before hand.”

Naruto frowned at this remark. “Hey! I’m clean!” he bristled.

“Yeah right,” Sasuke said, “I’ve seen your apartment…” he trailed off. “Well…we better go to mine then. It’s cleaner.”

Naruto stared at him and then grinned. “Ok, let’s go.”

Ok, that was the end! Hope you enjoyed!!
