"He's near by, I can feel it." Gaara muttered to himself, pulling out into a full run after having been informed that a familiar blond, blue-eyed teen was spotted coming out of an Inn around here several times. If that was really Naruto, then he was safe and also easy to find. Gaara was exhilarated by the thought of seeing his lovable knuckle headed boyfriend.

Gaara had been so excited by the knowledge that he had run into the Inn without a second thought. "Excuse me sir, but can you tell me if a blond boy is staying here, about yea high and is really loud." Gaara described, holding up his had to describe the height of the other. The man looked reluctant about sharing that information, after all Naruto had shown up in his Inn with nearly anything on so he was sure anyone the boy hung out with was as strange and troublesome as himself. But there was always the chance he could charge higher for the boy's stay if this guy was going to be spending the evening here with him as well.

"Yes, but I believe he is out right now. Should I inform him of your visit?" The man asked with a sly smirk.

"Oh no, but can I just wait for him inside?" Gaara asked seriously. The man was appalled by the thought for a moment, but seemed to adjust to the thought and allowed it seeing as how Gaara looked so anxious to see the boy. "Thank you." Gaara replied, taking up the spare key and dashing off down the hall. Now all he had to do was wait for Naruto to come back, safe and sound.

"Sasuke..." the words came out as a husky pant, spite Naruto's original intention. His breath had quickened since Sasuke's lips abandoned his and lowered to his jaw and finally to his throat. "Please...don't..." Naruto tried to chorus, though his body was desperately giving into the delightful sensation of a warm body pressed up against his so forcefully and longingly. He gasped out when Sasuke's knee pushed in between his legs, forcing them on either side where the Uchiha settled the rest of his form. Naruto nearly lost focus with Sasuke's crotched prodding into his hip and it sure as hell wasn't as soft as he had hoped it to be.

Sasuke breathed hard through his nose as his lips continued to attack Naruto's throats with passionate kisses and suckling. He inwardly smirked at how fragile Naruto seemed all of a sudden, quaking in his arms as if he would fall any moment from exhaustion. But he kept his thoughts locked on the tan skin before him as it turned red beneath his lips. His hands wondered from Naruto's hair and to the boy's sides and finally to his hips. "I...I've wanted you for so long Naruto..." Sasuke groaned lustfully into the blonde's eyes. "It hurts to think that Gaara is allowed to do this to you when I can not."

What was he saying? Naruto had thought. Gaara was his boyfriend, he was entitled to being intimate, but Sasuke however. Where did he get off touching him like this?! Well actually that answer was pretty easy to come by considering the other teens arousal was jabbing him in the hip relentless as their bodies bumped together. Naruto's eyes suddenly opened wide upon feeling a stealthy hand slip beneath the folds of his yukata and caressed the softness of h is inner thigh. "Sasuke?! What are you-" Naruto winced immediately, the sudden feeling of Sasuke's hand firmly grabbing him had made him bit his lip.

"I want you so badly Naruto..." Sasuke whispered, pressing his lips gently to Naruto's earlobe as his left hand held Naruto up along the waist while his other ventured down into sensitive territory. It was eating away at his thoughts, his sanity...to hear Naruto pant and moan like this. He had so desperately wanted to hear it before and now that he had the chance he was reluctant to passing it up just because of Gaara. "Naruto..." Sasuke moaned deeply , his heading falling into the cradle of the boy's neck as he proceeded to stroke the limp shaft of his captive. "If you really wanted me to stop...you would have pushed me away by now." Sasuke grunted truthfully.

Gapping at those words and the feelings, Naruto couldn't yell out a simple stop or cry for help. It wasn't right! He knew that, but... this was Sasuke. The same Sasuke he had always fought so hard to prove his worth to, the very same person he had risked his life for several times before. If he were to say he had never had any feeling for this person and had never wanted Sasuke to see him more as just a rival or petty friend, then he would have been lying. But did this mean he didn't really love Gaara? It was all so confusing to think about, especially when he was sprouting a major erection from Sasuke's pumping.

"So tell me-" Sasuke demanded. He smirked when he felt Naruto's body arching into his touch and a small, attempted muffled moan escape. With fluid strength, Sasuke cupped his free hand just behind Naruto's leg and lifted him up securely where the blond had instinctively wrapped his leg around Sasuke's waist, his other leg soon following. He gripped Naruto's cock more tenderly as it hardened between their bodies. All the while, he grinded his hips upward, adding to the friction between them.

Naruto whimpered when he could barely contain his climax sure to come. His hands flew tighter around Sasuke's neck, holding onto the other with all his fury. Why did it have to fill so good? Why did he have to like Sasuke to? Shameful tears fled from Naruto's eyes as he buried his head into Sasuke's shoulder and suffocated his screams of pleasure. Already nearing the peak of arousal, his tip released a few drops of pre-cum, only making Sasuke more proud of his success. "Gah! Sasuke!" Naruto screamed out suddenly, his head thrust back in ecstasy.

Sasuke's eyes widened as well when he felt Naruto's entire body lock into place and convulse with pleasure as his climax took over him. The blonde's limbs held onto him tightly, only making Sasuke visualize how similar it would be to be inside Naruto the same way when he came. His palm was freshly moistened with the other's essence making him smile gingerly at the thought. "That wasn't so bad was it dobe?" Sasuke asked with a half chuckle. Though he had wished he had been more considerate about the timing and the situation. It wasn't exactly the best idea to walk into a public place now that Naruto's cum stained both their clothing.

It took a moment for Naruto to regain his composer, but this didn't allow him the time to accept that he had just done something terribly stupid. "Sasuke..." Naruto panted, his head weakly falling back into the other's shoulder. "You jerk." He grumbled, the bubble like tears still present at the corner of his eyes. This wasn't suppose to happen! He wasn't suppose to be turned on by his best friend! "I won't forgive you for this teme."

Sasuke's playful and triumphed grin quickly fell at those words. "You seriously don't mean you didn't enjoy any moment of that, do you?" With an upsetting expression, Sasuke unwrapped Naruto's legs from him and set the blond back on his own two feet. "Tell me the truth Naruto." Staring fully into those saddened cerulean eyes Sasuke continued, "if I had made my mood just a few days ago...would you have accepted me?" Sasuke asked sternly. He had to know. Was this a cause of love or was it merely time that doomed him from what he knew was his destiny? If he had been the one to confess his love just hours before they came to Suna, would it really be him Naruto would be so willingly trying to give his entire self to? Was love that fickle as to be governed by the laws of time or could it run a path of it's own?

Though Sasuke had been given no answer, he knew the silence had been response enough. When Naruto guilty let his eyes fall from their gaze and his fist ball up, Sasuke had all he needed. "So I was...just a little too late." Sasuke stated in conclusion. A tired sigh escaped him and he merely turned from the blond. "I guess it would be too much of you to trust the feelings before rather than have taken the easy road." Naruto had meant to stop him when Sasuke took those first steps away from him, but something had kept him from doing so.

Standing their in the puddle of guilt and shame he had filled for himself, Naruto watched Sasuke disappear behind the corner and probably go inside. "I'm sorry Sasuke" Naruto whispered, knowing that his words had in fact been too late as well.

Gaara's heart leaped into his throat when he heard foot prints approach the door. He stood up instantly from his spot on the bed, awaiting the cheerful blond to return. He was nearly ready to embrace the first form that appeared trough the door, but to his surprise, it had not been Naruto to open the door and come in with an equally startled expression. In seconds Gaara's eyes had narrowed and his entire atmosphere went cool.

Sasuke stared blankly at first, trying to figure out whether he was hallucinating his most hated enemy before him just because of the fight he just had with Naruto or had he really died and gone to hell where Gaara had been waiting for him. But when the form refused to move or speak, Sasuke was assured it had been the real thing. No imagine of Gaara in his imagination could have a glare so cold and lethal. With a dreary sigh, Sasuke stepped in fully, taking off the shirt he had been in the process of removing when he first opened the door.

He was fortunate no one else had been in the lobby when he came in. And just when he thought he could avoid being seen by anyone, Gaara had to show up in the room. "What the hell are you doing here Gaara?" Sasuke asked in a vicious growl. "Aren't you suppose to be in a big, fancy lavished bed dieing about now or has the demon finally taken full control of you, giving you immortality?" Sasuke questioned with obvious sarcasm as he walked across the room and into the bathroom where he tossed his shirt over the sink. He was definitely going to have to go shopping later since now him and Naruto had nothing clean to wear.

Gaara merely grumbled something Sasuke had missed before sitting back on the bed. "I just came to make sure you hadn't gotten Naruto killed yet. By the way, where is he? You didn't leave him all alone again, did you?" Gaara felt his control slowly slipping away. Having Sasuke come in before Naruto was one thing, but having him come without Naruto completely was a whole other level of hell Gaara was about to put the Uchiha in.

"Don't worry your royal pain in the ass." The other commented, stepping out of the bathroom after washing his hands thoroughly. "Your bitch shall be here soon to nurse you back to health. Though my opinion of the perfect remedy would be an execution rather than an extraction." Gaara had been too intrigued by Sasuke's actions to give a care about the other's lame insults. He never took Sasuke for a messy eater, yet he came in here with that odd stain on him. Gaara had at least hoped a baby had decided to spit up on the egotistical bastard.

Just then, the door opened once more and Gaara was forced to his feet. The awkward silence followed through a second time when Naruto saw Gaara standing in the middle of the room with a apprehension look on his face. "Gaara?" Naruto chirped in disbelief. He was too stunned to say anything else when Gaara suddenly raced over, pulling him into his arms. For the briefest moment Naruto had been relieved he changed his yukata inside out before coming back inside because he would hate to hug Gaara in his previous position.

"I've been so worried!" Gaara confessed, pulling the blond tightly into his arms and burring his head safety in Naruto's hair. Such a calming wind blew over him as he was finally close to the one he loved, but something unsettling had abruptly caused him to pull away. That scent...he recognized it as the Uchiha's natural scent but what was it doing all over Naruto? A part of Gaara was merely telling him he was over acting. Naruto had been when Sasuke in the same room for two days so it only made sense Sasuke's stench would cling to Naruto like the putrid toxic he was.

"I was too, but what are you doing here Gaara?! You should be resting at home where it's safe." Naruto insisted. He couldn't believe it. Gaara came all this way to find him, to make sure he was okay. Gaara had been really concerned and though he knew it was a risk to his health to come, he did so anyway. Just those thoughts made Naruto happy. But it was the immediately comprehension that Sasuke had went through the same hardships to find him here in the Land of Tea. And not only that, Sasuke had rescued him from the slave traders, while he knew nothing of Gaara's travels. Somehow his mind was constantly reminding him to take into account of both boys' struggle to be with him, yet this same insightful intuition would not tell him for whom he was best destined for and who loved him the most.

"I couldn't stay there knowing you were off on your own out here. Remember, you are as in just a considerable condition as I am." Gaara lectured. "Surely, you didn't expect me to leave your safely all up to Uchiha here, that would be irresponsible of me." Sasuke moaned like a mad cat at hearing this. This is why he would always hate couples, he would always be the third wheel as long as these two were together and he merely could not accept that.

"You know what Gaara," Sasuke interrupted, stepping over and wrapping one arm limply around Naruto's shoulders. "You're completely right. I'm not qualified to be Naruto's babysitter, and that is why you are the Kazekage. You are the only one qualified enough to haul around crap." Sasuke said with a smirk. "Though I will never be able to measure up to you in the art of ass wiping, feel free to show me the errors of my ways. For example you can help me take this big baby over here down to the bathhouse where I can get him cleaned up." Sasuke suggested. "Since it seems not even Naruto can hold in his contents." Sasuke gloated, pointing to the saint that was lightly visible from the inside o the boy's yukata.

"Teme!" Naruto growled, shoving the other off him instantly. Though he had been specific about which contents he couldn't hold in, Naruto couldn't approve of Sasuke's teasing. He wasn't sure if he rather have Gaara know the truth or think he threw up on himself and Sasuke, both were pretty embarrassing.

"It's alright Naruto." Gaara assured him, petting the blonde's unusually ruffled hair down. He was just pleased with knowing of Naruto's good health.

"Now if you don't mind, let's hit the baths before it gets too late." Sasuke grumbled, quickly grabbing a bucket of cleaning supplies they kept stocked in the bathroom and slung a towel over his shoulder.

"What about Kabuto Sasuke?" Naruto quickly stated before the Uchiha could walk out of the room. "Do you really trust him to stay here without our supervision?" Naruto asked. He inwardly knew the truth and he was sure Sasuke would have wanted it that way. Let Kabuto slip away why he claimed they were doing something of great importance in which they could not take him with them.

"Kabuto?" Gaara repeated curiously.

"Yeah, Kabuto is going to help us save Suna!" Naruto cleared up ecstatically. "That's why I came here to find him!" Gaara seemed surprised to hear such an explanation. Not that it was so unbelievable, it was just he couldn't fathom someone actually having the power to cure them if Tsunade couldn't. It was simply unheard of.

"Correction, he has not yet agreed to help bird brain." Sasuke interrupted, earning himself a fearsome glare from Naruto. "And I doubt you will want to agree to his terms in order for his services, but be my guess and try Naruto."

"Fine, I will. He can come with us now and we can talk about it tonight." Naruto insisted, grabbing Gaara's hand and leading the redhead out the door while Sasuke straggled behind with disgust. Even after all his efforts, Naruto refused to give him a second glance...how depressing. But now that Gaara was around again, maybe he could scare the redhead away by letting him think something worth while had gone on between Naruto and him.
