Summer Starfruit

Author's Notes:

WARNING! This fic is shota yaoi. Shota involves at least one male character who is ~not~ legal age. If you have a problem with this, please leave now. No one is forcing you to read this fic, so flames will be ridiculed.

Disclaimer: I do not, nor have I ever, condoned or encouraged illicit relations with minors or child pornography. The characters in this fic are completely fictional and thus the work should be taken as a form of artisic expression. This fic is ~not~ just about sex.

Disclaimer2: I do not own Naruto nor any royalties thus. I am not Kishimoto, nor do I really want to be (no offence, Kishimoto-sensei!).

01) I've set Naruto's age around 12 in this fic. He has reached puberty! And both parties in this fic are completely consentual. There is no, I repeat NO coercion, nor is Sasuke taking advantage of a naive Naruto.

02) The pet name Naruto gives Sasuke is Ucchi. The "cch" in Ucchi should be pronounced the same as the "cch" in "ecchi." No, this was not done on purpose.

03) The word "ochinchin" is a child's word for penis. I used this word for two reasons... one, I dislike English childish words for penis, and two... I think "ochinchin" sounds really cute. ^^;

04) In Japan, when someone moves into a new home, it is customary for them to take gifts to their new neighbours, hence why Naruto has given Sasuke a fruit basket.

There was once a writer who lived in a small one room apartment of a rather old, rather rundown building in Tokyo. The building had a communal bath on the first floor and the room where the writer lived was very small. It had nothing in it but a minimal kitchen, a short table for his laptop so he could work, and a space where he could roll out a futon at night. When it rained a spot in the kitchen leaked and dripped water onto the rice cooker, and it had no air conditioner. All in all, it was not, by a long shot, a very nice apartment. In fact, its only real draw, and the reason that the writer continued living there after so many years, was a ginko tree that stood in the courtyard just outside his window. In the fall the writer would open his window and stare at the ginko tree and he would feel peaceful.

This writer's name was Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke kept to himself for the most part. He rarely went out, and the times he did were so predictable that the few tennants of the rundown apartment building knew just what day it was when they saw him leave. He went grocery shopping twice a week and met with the representative from his publisher once a month. Every Saturday he went down and had tea at the shop on the corner and then would sit for hours staring at people passing on the street. He was quiet and reserved, and the most he ever talked was to Haruno Sakura, one of the waitresses at the tea house, who would sometimes join him as he gazed out the window. Even the few people in his building knew very little about him. Sometimes he ran into them at the bath or in the room that held two washing machines, but at those times all he would say was a polite greeting and then go about his business in silence.

However, something was going to happen to bring Sasuke away from his normal anti-social demenor. During the second week of the June before his 23rd birthday, Sasuke opened the door of his tiny apartment on his way to go shopping to find a little basket of fruit sitting on the floor. Not expecting a basket of fruit, he just stared at it for a moment, then looked up and down the little hallway. No one was around. He leaned over and picked up the basket, examining it. On the card was printed, in very childlike characters, "Uchiha-san." Beside his name was a little drawing of a fox which smiled pleasantly up at him. Sasuke found himself returning the fox's smile for some reason. He was one his way out, though, so he set the little basket just inside his door and headed out to the market.

When Sasuke returned from the market he was greeted by the sight of a young boy seated on the step of the old apartment building. He was wearing a tanktop that had been cut in half, a pair of khaki cargo pants, and some simple slip on sandles. What really captured Sasuke's attention, though, were the boy's bright blue eyes and vividly blonde hair. He was nursing a can of juice and staring up at the ginko tree, or perhaps the clouds beyond, but seemed oblivious to the older man's presence. Sasuke was half-tempted to just go back up to his apartment, but his curiousity was getting the better of him and he approached the boy slowly.

When Sasuke was about three feet away, the boy shifted his eyes from the ginko tree to him. "Oya, Mister," he said with a grin.

"Hello..." Sasuke replied, then "Who are you?"

The blonde blinked at him for a moment, then grinned again. "Uwah, the landlady was right when she said you didn't notice things," his voice was full of amusement, but he did stand up and bow slightly, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I moved into the apartment across the hall from you a couple of days ago."

Sasuke stared at him. He hadn't realised that apartment was free... Suddenly a thought came to him. "You're the one behind the basket?" he asked.

"Yep!" Naruto replied cheerfully, "Did you like it?"

"I, uh... didn't get a chance to eat any of it," Sasuke said, staring at the ginko tree and scratching his cheek with one finger. He glanced down at the boy, who was now looking very unhappy. For some reason, Sasuke didn't want him to be unhappy. "It was a very nice presentation, though! Your drawing on the card was really cute."

"Really?" Naruto asked.

"Y-yeah!" Sasuke replied, "Why don't you come to my apartment and have some fruit with me? It'd be boring to eat it by myself..." The only other person to have ever been in Sasuke's apartment had been the landlady, and he wasn't entirely sure why he was inviting this little kid into his sanctuary. Right then, though, it was very important for Sasuke to get Naruto smiling again.

It worked. "Okay!" Naruto said. He rushed forward and pulled some of the bags out of Sasuke's hands before he knew what the boy was doing. "I'll help!"

Sasuke smiled despite himself and motioned for Naruto to follow him. He was expecting to make his trip up to his third floor apartment in silence, but before they even stepped inside the building the blonde had started chattering away. As they trudged up the steps, Naruto always a step ahead, Sasuke learned that the boy was a student at the nearby Konoha Private Elementary School on scholarship, that he liked manga about historical Japan, especially ones with ninja, and that his favourite food was miso ramen, though he did like all kinds of ramen. By the time the pair arrived at Sasuke's apartment and he inserted the key into the lock, he knew more about the boy than he did about the few people he talked to on a regular basis. When Sasuke opened the door Naruto shot into the tiny apartment, slipped off his sandals and stepped up onto the floor proper, then turned around and bowed slightly again.

"Please parden my intrusion," he said.

"It's alright," Sasuke replied, waving a hand nonchalantly, "Do you, um... need to check with your parents and make sure it's okay if you spend some time over here?" He slipped off his own shoes and walked to the counter, setting his bags down on it.

Naruto followed him and set down his bags as well, staring at them for a moment. "My mama and papa have become stars in the sky," he said.

"Oh..." Sasuke glanced over at the boy as he put various groceries into his little refrigerator, "Well, who do you live with then?"

The blonde turned around and leaned against the counter. "I live by myself," Naruto replied, "My only relative is my grandfather, and he lives overseas. He sends me an allowance every month so I can buy food and pay the rent and things like that. I don't think he really likes me, though. He never talks to me, just sends a check." He didn't sound sad or bitter about this. His voice carried the same connotations that one would have if they were talking about the weather or what they had to eat the night before. For some reason, the fact that he didn't seem upset about the way his grandfather treated him bothered Sasuke and he decided right then that he didn't like the man.

Sasuke finished putting his things away and remembered why he had brought the child up to his apartment. "So, how about some fruit?" he asked, walking over to the entrance and picking up the basket, "Let's see.. I see some apples and an orange and a mango.. and some bananas." His eye caught on something buried between and apple and the mango, "Oh and... is that a starfruit?"

"Yup!" Naruto replied, "I'd never seen one before and I thought it was pretty. You're always frowning, so I thought if I gave it to you it'd make you feel good."

The writer stared at the boy for a second, then smiled again and ruffled his yellow hair. "Why don't I cut it in half and we can eat it together?" he asked, walking over to the counter and taking down a plate from the shelf over the sink. He rummaged in a drawer and found a knife and cut the fruit in half, then walked over to the little table and sat down. He set his laptop on the floor behind him and motioned for Naruto to come join him. The boy grinned and bounced over, half sitting, half falling into a kneeling position beside the table. They both said thanks for the food and the boy reached over and snatched one of the starfruit halves and took a bite, sucking on it thoughtfully. Sasuke watched entranced.

"It's yummy!" Naruto exclaimed, sucking the fruit again and then taking another bite. He chewed slowly and swallowed, then looked at Sasuke, "Aren't you going to eat your half?"

Sasuke snapped out of his daze and picked up his half, taking a bite. "It is good, Uzumaki-kun," he said cheerfully.

Naruto made a face that Sasuke couldn't quite read, then he slipped back into his cheerful grin, "You can call me by Naruto, if you like."

"Okay then... Naruto-kun," the writer replied. Naruto beamed at him, then returned to eating his half of the starfruit, which was already almost all gone. Sasuke idly nibbled on his own fruit as he watched the boy eat. It occured to him then, as Naruto so fully and so innocently enjoyed a treat he'd never had before, that the boy was very cute. In fact, he was rather beautiful, in his own right. His hair and eyes, which made Sasuke think that he was only partially Japanese, were bright and vibrant, just like his personality. Sasuke had never met a person like this before, and for some reason he felt a strange sensation in his stomach. It wasn't unpleasant... just strange.

In the weeks following the starfruit lunch, Naruto spent a great deal of time at Sasuke's apartment. Sometimes Sasuke would cook food for them, or they'd sit down and just talk about things. Other times Naruto would just sit by the window with a manga while Sasuke typed away on his laptop. Once, on a night where a great thunderstorm shook the old building, the blonde boy had shown up at Sasuke's door at one o'clock in the morning and asked to sleep there, to which Sasuke could not refuse. Naruto brought a light into Sasuke's life that hadn't been there before and even the landlady noticed and commented cheerfully on it as she collected the rent as July rolled around. Sasuke even started taking Naruto to the tea house on the corner. Sakura took an instant liking to the bright eyed child.

On the 22nd of July, the day before Sasuke's birthday, Naruto sat in the writer's apartment by the window sucking on a pudding pop. Sasuke had been busy typing at his laptop when the boy came over, but now that he was here he was being distracted. It wasn't really that Naruto was doing anything to gain attention from the older man, but Sasuke was, for some reason, entirely too interested in how Naruto was sucking on his ice cream. Finally he gave up, saved his document, and closed the lid of his laptop. He had something he wanted to talk to the boy about anyway. Sasuke cleared his throat and Naruto, who was mid-lick, looked up at him.

"Tomorrow is my birthday..." he said. Naruto cocked his head slightly, and the strange feeling in Sasuke's stomach sparked again, "Uhm... yes. Birthday... Anyway! I thought I'd take you to the amusement park as a gift to myself."

Naruto blinked. "Idiot Ucchi," he said, using the childish nickname he had given Sasuke some weeks ago, "how is taking me to the amusement part a present for you?"

Sasuke scooted over and took the pudding pop from Naruto and gave it a lick. "Because," he said, ruffling Naruto's hair, "I'll get to spend my entire day seeing you smile. You do want to come, right?"

Naruto's grin spread from ear to ear. "Ah!"

The next day Naruto crossed the hall to Sasuke's apartment very early and the two of them set out for their day at the amusement part. The train ride there wasn't crowded, but Naruto, being very tired since he had woken up so early, sat in Sasuke's lap anyway and dozed during the half hour long trip. When they got to the park, though, the boy's usual energy had taken up and he grabbed Sasuke's hand and dragged him from ride to ride. They rode several rollercoasters, to which Naruto squealed in delight, and then Sasuke tried the shooting challenge and won Naruto a stuffed fox toy. They had lunch in the cafe in the center of the park, and the waitresses, who were dressed up in cute lolita type uniforms, kept cooing over Naruto, whome they mistook for Sasuke's son. Neither of them bothered correcting the girls, though. After lunch they went up in the ferris wheel and the blonde spent pretty much the entire time with his face glued to the glass window, amazed at how much he could see.

Shortly after that, though, the sky grew cloudy and it started to drip rain. Sasuke, not expecting this, hadn't brought an umbrella. He draped the shirt he had been wearing over his tanktop over Naruto's head and the two of them ran from the amusement park back to the train stop, taking refuge under various shelters for brief periods as they went. By the time they got to the train they were both soaked, and this time the train was packed full like a can of sardines. Naruto's petite body was pushed against Sasuke, and the feeling in his stomach became even stronger. His pants were sticking to him, and he suddenly became acutely aware that the blonde boy was pressing against his penis. He blushed and stared up at the roof of the train car and tried not to think about it.

"Ne, Ucchi," came Naruto's voice softly, "Something hard's poking my stomach?"

Sasuke coughed, "I-it's... it's just my keys, Naruto-kun. I'm sorry if it's making you uncomfortable. We'll be home soon."

By the time the train reached their stop the rain had begun to come down in torrents and lightening flashed in the sky. Naruto, who was frightened by the booming thunder that followed, refused to move, and Sasuke ended up carrying him back to the apartment building on his back. When they got up to the third floor, Sasuke tried to get Naruto to go to his own apartment and change clothes, but the boy refused.

"U-ucchi... I'm scared. Don't... don't leave me alone," he clutched Sasuke's wet shirt and looked up at him with tearful blue eyes, "Please...?"

Sasuke sighed and tried to reason with him, "If you don't change clothes, you'll catch a cold."

Naruto didn't let go. "I don't care!" he whined, "I'm scared. Please, Ucchi, don't... don't leave me alone!"

Another sigh escaped Sasuke and he gave in. He took Naruto's hand and led him into his apartment. They both shed their wet shoes and Naruto stayed very close to Sasuke as the writer looked for something to put the boy in. He finally found a T-shirt that would cover the boy's torso at least, and turned and handed it to him.

"Here, put this on," he instructed, "I'll turn around, so it's okay."

Naruto nodded and for the next few moments all that could be heard in the little apartment was the rain, the drip drip of the leak over the rice cooker, and the sound of wet clothes being peeled off. Suddenly the sky tore in half with a great streak of lightening. The thunder that followed caused the old building to shudder violently and Naruto screamed in fright. Sasuke, wanting to make sure he was alright, zipped around only to have the boy fling himself into the writer's arms. He was shivering and Sasuke wrapped his arms around him. He was still naked, and the strange sensation in Sasuke's stomach was burning.

"Ucchi..." Naruto said after the rain had died down a little, "I think your keys are poking me again." He pushed away slightly and looked down, then blinked at the sight of the buldge in Sasuke's pants. "Those are big keys..."

Sasuke's face grew hot, and he looked away. "It... it isn't keys, Naruto-kun."

Naruto looked at him for a moment then squatted down and stared at the bulge. Curiously he poked it, which made Sasuke jump back about a foot. "Are you okay, Ucchi? Did I do something bad?"

Sasuke was breathing hard. He tried not to look at Naruto, but he couldn't seem to help himself. Naruto's body was small, but he had a small amount of hair down there that suggested he had at least hit puberty. Suddenly a thousand and one thoughts rushed through the writer's head and blushed in shame. Doing something like that with a child wasn't right. The odd sensation moved from his stomach down into his groin and he cursed inwardly. He couldn't do anything to Naruto. Naruto trusted him. He didn't noticed when Naruto stepped closer again and began inspecting the bulge in his pants again. It wasn't until the boy said something that he snapped back to reality.

"It's... gotten bigger, Ucchi. Is it your ochinchin?"

Sasuke blinked at the blonde. "What... what makes you think that?"

Naruto flushed red. "S-sometimes, when I'm at home thinking of Ucchi..." he paused and took a breath, "Sometimes my ochinchin gets bigger, too."

"R-really?" Sasuke asked tentively. He had just noticed that Naruto was now covering himself with his hands, and he suddenly wanted to move those hands out of the way. He didn't get a chance to, though.

"A-ah..." Naruto replied, moving back a few steps and dropping his hands to his sides.

At the sight of the boy's now exposed erection Sasuke let out a soft whimper despite himself. The sound startled Naruto, but after a second the boy started to giggle. The sound tickled Sasuke's ears and finally he felt like he couldn't take it anymore. He moved cautiously towards Naruto. The blonde looked unsure, but he didn't move away. Sasuke moved closer and put his hand out to touch Naruto's cheek. Surprisingly, Naruto nuzzled is hand gently. After a moment of inward battles, Sasuke's desire finally won over completely and he leaned down and planted a simple kiss on Naruto's lips.

"Naruto-kun..." he whispered when he pulled away.

"Ucchi..." Naruto replied, his face flushed.

Sasuke leaned forward and kissed the boy again. This time he let his tongue snake out of his mouth and run over Naruto's lips. They parted willingly and the writer slipped his tongue into the blonde's mouth, exploring it. Naruto attempted the tongue play as well, but he was clumsy and inexperienced. For some reason this made Sasuke want him more. He pulled Naruto closer, sucking lightly on his tongue. The blonde let out a slight sound and suddenly pushed away. Sasuke backed off, his face completely red.

"I... I'm so sorry, Naruto-kun," he said quickly, "I don't know what came over me."

Naruto just smiled at him. "I didn't dislike it, Ucchi," he said, "It's just that you're clothes are wet and cold. You should take them off before you get sick."

Sasuke looked down at himself. He had been so caught up in thinking about Naruto that he had forgotten to change. "But if I take them off I'll be naked," he said.

"I'm naked," Naruto said, pointing to himself.

The writer laughed and nodded. "All right, then, Naruto-kun. I guess it's only fair..." He peeled off his clothes and tossed them into the kitchen. "Is this better?" he asked.

Naruto's eyes were wide. "Your ochinchin is so big!" he said. He moved towards Sasuke and knelt down in front of him.

Sasuke petted his hair. "Yours is big, too, for someone your age," he cooed, eliciting a smile from the boy. He had a thought and before he could stop himself, he voiced it, "Could I play with yours, Naruto-kun?" He clapped his hand over his mouth.

The blonde thought for a moment, then giggled softly. "Ah," he said simply. He shifted from his kneeling position to one were the soles of his feet were pressed together.

The writer was shocked for a moment. He had another inward battle, and again his desire won. He leaned forward and kissed Naruto again, sliding his tongue into the boy's mouth and tasting him again. One hand trailed the line of Naruto's neck lightly and down his chest. He paused there and pinched one of the blonde's nipples causing him to shiver. When he was done playing with the nipple Sasuke let his hand follow the contour of Naruto's stomach and over his thigh. He found the boy's penis and wrapped his hand around it, causing Naruto to break their kiss and gasp. Sasuke then began to slide his hand over Naruto's length, planting kisses along his neck and shoulders as he did so. His skin was soft and smooth and smelled of miso and sweat and rain. Naruto was making small fuufuuing noises, and Sasuke stopped kissing long enough to ask if he was okay.

"I... I'm fine..." Naruto panted.

"Does it feel good?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm... I'm not sure..." Naruto breathed, "It feels... weird. Like there's... pressure in my... ochinchin... I think... I like it, though... Ah!"

Sasuke moved down and positioned his head between Naruto's legs. "I can make you like it more..." he said. He then ran his tongue up the underside of Naruto's penis, causing him to gasp. He took the boy's length into his mouth, sucking softly. He moved up and down the shaft slowly, watching Naruto as he did so. The blonde was moaning and panting and his back was arched. Sasuke moved a bit faster, delighting in the taste of the boy's precome and the salty taste of his sweat.

"Ah! Ah! U-ucchi... it feels like... it feels like... my ochinchin... is going to... is going to explode! Ah! Ah! No!" Naruto came in Sasuke's mouth with a shudder. There was more than Sasuke would have thought, but he didn't mind. He swallowed it and slowly pulled off the boy's penis and smiled gently at him.

"Are you okay, Naruto-kun?" The blonde was breathing hard, but he managed to nod. Sasuke, feeling guilty, moved forward and petted Naruto's head. He picked up the shirt and helped Naruto get dressed, then pulled out the futon and laid the boy down on it. Naruto fell asleep almost immediately. Sasuke then went in the kitchen and stood beside the sink. His penis was still throbbing, so he jerked of quickly, coming into the basin and then washing it down the drain.

"Ucchi..." came Naruto's voice, half asleep, "come to behn..."

Sasuke smiled. He walked over and laid down beside the boy on the futon and fell asleep, Naruto cuddled in his arms.
