Wednesday began field trip week at the school. Gai packed a bagged lunch for Sasuke since they're required to bring things that can be thrown away so that the students aren't dragging around anything other than what's needed, which is a disposable camera; their backpacks are left in their lockers at the school. Naruto was figity all through reading class, waiting for the bell to ring so they can head to History where they'll be quickly escorted to the buses waiting for them outside. The other classes were gone by now having their trips happen sooner than three classes in. Sasuke, on the other hand, couldn't take his eyes or ears off the man reading from the assigned class book. Ever since Kakashi's been truly intimate with him Sasuke's been in a cloud, never feeling a single kiss laid on his lips or cheek by his semi-boyfriend Naruto as they parted ways in the halls or he'd just randomly kiss him when no one was looking. Sasuke can still feel Kakashi's girth inside of him moving around and pulling pleasure out of him as he listened to that creamy voice enjoying the act as well. Listening to Kakashi reading out loud to the class, it was as if the man were reading only for him, watching his lips move it was as if his lips moved only for him, and when he spoke it was like he was speaking only to him....

"Sasuke?"

Blinking from his dreamy thoughts, Sasuke realized that the man was infact speaking to him. "Mm?" He managed some sort of repsonse.

"The bell rang." He's cleaning up his desk taking out another book for the next class that will come in.

"Right. Sorry." He gathers his things parting through the incoming bits of students.

Naruto was too busy tearing down the hall to history class to be bothered with alerting Sasuke that class has ended. He still doesn't see what the big deal is. From what he understands from the history teacher is that they're going to a museum to look around take a picture of one of the items there and give a report on it. He's never had to do independant studying before, usually the teacher would tell them what to do exactly and they'd all put it into their own words and yet it would still be the exact same thing that everyone else is doing but with this he has to choose something himself, something that possibly no one else will do, which meant he'd have to keep distractions at bay for the time being; he'll spend every waking moment with Gai or one of his friends until the report is done and good enough to impress his teacher. He actually wants to impress Gai too. He's always asking about school and honestly looking over the work; the man wants so much for him which is why its best to get him out of the way of what's going on under his nose. Gai is a good person and he cares about him greatly, but he can't deny his feelings for Kakashi. Naruto's journal actually came in some handy when he woke up at night to use the bathroom and couldn't get back to sleep. He wrote about this and he wrote about that, he wrote about Kakashi and he wrote about Gai, he even wrote about all his friends and by the time he'd got done with Shino he'd fallen back asleep.

Sasuke entered the classroom, taking his seat right away. Kimimaru-sensei was beginning to take role call by glancing up and down from the sheet of paper with the classes names on it.

"Take one camera and pass the box back, please." He says to the girl in the front row on the left.

The box went around the room as the teacher walked out to leave the attendance sheet in the holder outside of the room. Sasuke takes a camera from the box looking it over. Tapping Naruto on the shoulder he holds the camera out to him.

"How do you use this?"

"Its simple," He grins happy to help his streetwise boyfriend with anything. He has a teaching soul deep down. "turn it on with this," He slips the switch over. "wait for the flash to show up," He waits out a little red light and after pointing it out he says. "then press this button here."

The camera snaps a picture of Sasuke who snickered after being blinded by the flash. Taking the camera from the blond, he says. "You didn't have to take my picture."

"That's okay, when its developed do you think I could have it?"

"I don't see why not, I don't want it."

"Sweet." Spotting the teacher he jumps up from his desk. "Are we going now?" Snagging Sasuke's wrist he tugs him to the door. "If we sit up front we can get out sooner, but if we sit in back we can have fun on the ride, if you know what I mean?" He wriggles his blond brows up and down.

"I'm not sure I do." Sasuke allows himself to be dragged out with his elated boyfriend so that they'll be first on the bus which places them in the back of the bus. "Kiba, snap it up!" He yells to the male who he hasn't seen leave the class yet. "Hey you, cuts okay?" He pushes a girl back a step so she won't be in back to have her sit beside them. It'd be better if it were Kiba and someone else so that he and Sasuke could do as they please but with anyone else there, no doubt they'd tell on them or something- worse, they might watch.

"I had to leave my backpack in class, Kimimaru-sensei was chewing me out about not leaving it in my locker, but I forgot my lunch." He holds the bag up. "I've got tuna and some deviled eggs from dinner last night, plus a pudding cup. What do you have?"

"I packed my lunch so I have pork flavored chips, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, plus a banana and bag of grapes."

Seeing nothing in his semi-boyfriend's free hand, Sasuke asks. "Naruto, where's your lunch?"

"I left it on the cou-...c-.... oh crap its at home!!" His shoulders slump down, head dropping sadly.

"You can share with me." Offers the dark haired male.

Bottom lip quivering, Naruto replies with a shaking and happy voice. "Thank you, Sasuke." False tears remain in his eyes as he dramatically cries them out with a fist brushing across his closed eyes. "I was in such a hurry to get to school I left it behind, but you came through for me." He flings his arms around Sasuke.

"Get a hold of yourself, its over." Sasuke pushes Naruto back at arms length, shaking his head at how cute the male could be sometimes.

The sun beamed down overhead but thick clumped together clouds blocked it out instantly. Three buses gleam ahead of two exiting classes, all the children enter in through the front moving along to the back to take their seats and fill the bus out. Sasuke couldn't help but feel a bit excited, he's never been on a field trip before, muchless a museum. He hoped to not screw anything up, but that was unlikely. Naruto on the other-hand....

"Hey Kiba!" Says said male snapping a picture of one of his best friends.

"Say cheese." Replies said male.

A lot of flashes were going off actually. 'The teacher really should not have given the cameras to the students right now.' Sasuke looks into a little box that had a number inside. Tapping Naruto, he asks. "What's this mean?"

"That's how many pictures you can take before the camera is empty."

Sasuke nods; he rocks forward as the bus starts to move. His attention is out the window now, blocking out the noise of the animals playing and shrieking all around him. Honestly Sasuke could walk to the museum; he's been down this street five or six times in his life passing the place many times during it. But being driven will never get old. He's heard Kakashi and Gai arguing a few times about how they don't want to be the one to go someplace when something is needed or how they're not in the mood to deal with traffic. He would do it all if he knew how. He can only release the brake and let it roll, but that's not driving.

"Look at Chouji," Says the kid sitting next to Kiba. "he's already eating his lunch. Keep it up chubby, maybe the bus will bounce hard enough to make you puke!" He calls over the seat to him.

Chouji only chomped away on his snack, but he shot the boy a pissed look. He hates when people talk about his eating habit.

Arm hooked around Sasuke's shoulders he pulls him close, giving him a kiss. Sasuke smiles returning the kiss but his mind was elsewhere as far as who had received it. He's almost shaking with anticipation for Thursday, everything will work out, he's sure of it.

"Hey love birds, smile." Kiba raises his camera up snapping their picture.

Successfully distracted, Naruto begins swatting at the brunet, who only laughed and swats back.

Casting a bored glance at their antics Sasuke returns his attention out the window. 'I wonder what Kakashi is doing now?'

...................

"So Kakashi," Orochimaru takes a seat in one of the chairs in the teachers lounge. "how are things going with your young roommate?"

"Couldn't be better." He takes a sip of coffee.

"Really?" The single word is very loaded. "I can't help but wonder if he's told you his little secret yet."

"What secret?" He was interested to know what Orochimaru who barely sees Sasuke as much as he does would know about the male that he does not.

"I caught him making a list of possibles a while back, the boy is either making up for not being able to get whom he truly wants or...."

"Or?"

"He's a former street walker and you rescued him."

Kakashi heard himself laughing before he realised that he was doing it.

His pale friend cocks a brow wondering what could be so funny. He's very serious about it. Taking a teenager off the streets and he's so interested in sexual relationships with anyone he could get his hands on- himself excluded, who's to say that he doesn't have a very shady past. There is no way one boy could last alone on the streets of Konoha, he knows what lurks in those streets as his mother was once attacked out there, so to think that this boy could come out of it alright is ridiculous.

"Trust me, Sasuke is no street walker. He was just very unfortunate. And as far as this sexual deviant thing, he's a teenager and no matter what life you've had you're going to go through the same changes as anybody else."

This made the man smile in a wicked sort of way, the ends of his thin lips curl just a bit at the tip. "So then you admit that something is going on between the two of you? I've seen the way he looks at you Kakashi..."

"Orochimaru." The man cut him off with a warning.

"Even a blind man could tell with the way he speaks to you like he wants something, or perhaps more of something."

Uncomfortable, Kakashi stands from his seat to dump his coffee over into the sink. Asuma walks in looking at the two men.

"What?" He asks before pouring himself a drink. "Did I walk in on gossip that I shouldn't hear or were you like this from the start from a tiff between you two?"

"No tiff, just some conversation." Replies the slippery male.

Kakashi's back is tense as he leans his hands on the counter top looking into the sink trying to regain his composure before speaking. Asuma sidles up to the man whispering.

"Is he giving you a hard time over something?"

Kakashi shakes his head. "I'm just feeling a little light headed that's all."

"Are you sure?"

Nodding, the gray haired man clears his throat before returning to his seat. "So, Orochimaru... whatever happened to that young Kabuto you were so fond of?"

Orochimaru's face sort of twitched and he said nothing in response to the question. Kakashi clearly knew more than he had ever let on, so its best to let the matter of the man and Sasuke drop- if there is a matter between he and Sasuke.

'That snake. He should bite his tongue off if he knows anything. I'm careful around other people but if Sasuke is sending off signals then of course this man would pick them up he's guilty of it. You think he'd be more sympathetic to my situation instead of doing all this.' He scratches his face uncomfortably.

..................

Naruto stayed close to Sasuke once they arrived at the museum. He didn't know or care what he did a report on; snapping one picture of the first thing he saw and moving on with his life. Sasuke on the other hand is really looking over the pictures, statues, demonstration scenes. He took it all in and chose to do a report on the Emperor of Nara; taking five pictures: one face on, one long ways- after asking Naruto about a zooming- he got a close up shot of the profile, and a long shot of the profile. He then snapped pictures of the man's home.

"How do you get the pictures out once you've taken them?" He flips the camera this way and that looking for where the picture would come out.

"You have to develope the film. I'll take you with me to do it."

"Thanks." Nudging the blond he says. "I used your journal, by the way."

"Really?! That's great! What did you write?" He asks eagerly bouncing at Sasuke's side.

Face scrunched he says. "I thought it was supposed to be secret?"

"It is but... you know, you can tell people if you want to." He looks hopeful.

A look of disbelief flashed across the male's face before he pats his semi-boyfriend on the head. "Maybe someday, but, I did write about you."

Taken aback, Naruto sulks over that information. "You can't tell someone not to read something then out right tell them that you've written about them. It just makes them anxious to know."

"I'm not telling."

Grumbling, he shoves Sasuke's shoulder before walking away from him.

Watching the whole thing, Shikamaru sidles over to Sasuke tapping him on the back to get his attention. "What's with you anyway? Are you just messing with Naruto?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. He's crazy about you and you treat him like he's the guy who walks your dog."

"Not that our relationship is any of your business but you're wrong. Naruto is sensative, that's all it is." He starts to walk away but is caught on the shoulder.

Squeezing the taller male's shoulder in his grip, Shikamaru leans into Sasuke's ear. "If you hurt Naruto I'll make sure you get hurt as well."

"I'm already suffering while he's happy because of all you creeps looking over your shoulders at us;" He pulls his shoulder free. "so do your worst."

Shikamaru glares after the street kid. 'Why do I always get this weird vibe from him?' He wonders.

The rest of the field trip went along well for them and they ended up having lunch at the park. The two classes sit at the picnic tables their lunches spread about the table, everyone talking, and using up the rest of the film in their cameras. All except one table which is awkwardly silent. Kiba is doing everything he can: eating loudly, humming, sighing noisly, even kicking the leg of the table to get the others to say something. He's not sure what went down but he can't stand the tension.

"So what the hells up guys? Did I miss something between school and now?"

Sasuke rolls his eyes continuing to eat his shared lunch with his semi-boyfriend. Gotta love Gai for always making enough for two.

Looking from Sasuke to Naruto to Shikamaru, Kiba shakes his head. "Tch, this is weak." Waving them off he gathers his things then heads off to Chouji's table to sit with him.

Looking after Kiba, Naruto swallows. "What's his deal?"

"Why not ask Sasuke?" Shikamaru says.

Sasuke takes a drink from his Hawaiian punch. "Because Sasuke has nothing to do with it. You're the one with the problem Shikamaru, and its really stupid."

"What? What problem?" Asks Naruto looking from man to man.

"He thinks you're upset with our relationship." Sasuke answers in a snide tone. "Are you upset with our relationship, Naruto?"

"Why would I be?" He replies confused at where the point of the conversation had come from.

"Naruto, you said the guy is like a fort when you talk to him and where its not my business to care about other people's business, it is in my nature to care about my friends and how they're being treated."

Shocked, Naruto cocks his head to the side. "How am I being treated? Sasuke's just going through some stuff. He doesn't have to tell me what's on his mind if he doesn't want to."

"Then stop pressuring me!" Snaps the accused.

"I didn't realize that I was." Naruto holds his hands up in defense.

Standing from the table he pops his fist down atop the table. "If you wanna know about my inner feelings then spend the night on the streets sometime!"

Looking around the park, Naruto sees that others are looking over at him. "Uhhh, Sasuke... maybe you should keep your voice down."

"No! I'm sick of all of you thinking that I feel something when I don't! Maybe I don't for a reason, isn't it better to just forget about shit then think about it?!" This he says to Naruto before turning his words to Shikamaru. "And you, I don't know what your problem is or where you start to think that something is up with me and Naruto but it isn't; if you're seeing otherwise maybe you're just looking for a problem because you have the issue!" Waving them away he stalks off. "Fuck off."

Watching his boyfriend go, Naruto gapes in disbelief. "What the hell?"

Shikamaru shrugs. "I... I messed up, I'm sorry."

"When I said that he's like a fort it meant that he's like a fort, you make it sound like I called him a monster or something."

"I messed up." He says again. "I'm sorry."

Shaking his head, Naruto folds his arms over his chest, appetite gone. "Its fine, just understand a little better next time."

"Right. I'm gonna go apologize."

The blond nods his approval of the action.

Walking across the area to where Sasuke slumped himself to hide away, Shikamaru holds out his bag of Wheat Thins to the male. Sasuke glares at him, accepting one when he's nudged by the male on the shoulder. Playing with it within his fingers, he takes a bite.

"I made the wrong assumption. I'm sorry."

"Forget it. I blew up on you and it was really immature of me." He takes another bite finishing the cracker. "I'm just not used to having attention in someways. Before it was just me, and now I've got friends and what the hell would I know about being friends?"

"Naruto is big on understanding people, he likes to help. I'm sure if his family had found you when Kakashi-sensei had he would have been the one to bring you in." Shikamaru shrugs. "That's the way he is.... so, come on, offer him a little morsal of yourself once in a while so he doesn't feel like he's screwing up somehow, and I don't feel like he's getting hurt."

"I hate the idea of sharing something, its just so unimportant to me. It doesn't help you in anyway and it couldn't possibly help me because I don't feel anything. I don't ask him a bunch of questions."

"All the better. You can just give some of yourself to Naruto without feeling like the end is near by the end of it."

"But that's stupid..."

"But it means something to Naruto, and that's how you be a friend. Sometimes you have to give with no intake."

Sasuke seemed to be thinking that over, but his response is. "We'll see."

Shikamaru scoffs a laugh. "You're next to impossible to get along with properly, you do know that?"

"And yet you apologize and want me as a friend anyway. See, I'm not abusing you, you're abusing you." He stands.

Snickering the Nara teen stands as well. "Whatever you say, Sasuke." Giving the male a push on the back he follows him back to the picnic table.

"Aaaw are we all friends again?"

"Yup, we sorted everything out." Says Shikamaru, returning to lightly nibbling his lunch.

Sasuke looks around for his lunch, seeing nothing, not even the bag it came in he looks at Naruto with amusement. "You ate it all?"

"It was either me or the flies." He shrugs.

Hearing a whistle all the students clean up their meals dumping them off into the trash bins. Returning to the buses Kiba got them all to race back and they noisly barked insults at each other as they dart across the park to where their teacher is standing with a clipboard checking off names as each student loads the bus. The day ended after one more regular class then the students start off for home. Sasuke had to stay after since Zabuza asked him to train with the rest of the swim team. Once training was over he got a ride home with Gai who came to pick him up instead of Kakashi who was out cold when he got home. It was a blessing that he was really, it gave him time to concentrate on homework and his project and how he would present it. He knew the teacher was expecting something with poster board and photos tacked everywhere. He saw it once on this television show he and Gai watched. Using the computer in the man's office, he listens to Gai humming quietly in the living room. Maybe it was just his new found awareness of other people- thanks to Shikamaru- but Gai sounded kind of sad.

Leaving the room he walks over to the couch taking a seat as close to Gai as possible. Wrapping his arms around the man, completely shoving the laundry to the floor as he hugged him, Sasuke nuzzles his face into the man's neck. Smiling when he feels a hug in return, he whispers. "Gai, you like me don't you?"

"You know that I do." He caresses the back of the boy's hair.

"And... you wouldn't throw me out on the street again, no matter what I did, would you?"

"No, of course not." Gai couldn't help but feel a knot forming in his gut. This is it, Sasuke's going to confess- if there's anything to confess that is. He's still holding out for the not.

Sasuke nods. "Thank you." Squeezing the man tighter he says absently. "I really like you too. Who else would want someone to squeeze their hand while they get a tooth worked on, or treat me like an equal rather than a kid." Moving back a bit to look into the man's eyes he says. "I really appreciate that.... being seen as an equal to you."

"Sure."

"Sometimes I get really worried about a lot of things but then you and Kakashi are so nice to me it all goes away."

"Where is all this coming from?"

"My friend, Shikamaru, he says that I don't consider other peoples feelings, but I want you to know that I do." His hands scrunch the fabric of the man's night shirt. "I care so much for you and Kakashi for what you've done for me. I don't know how to repay you, though."

"Just keep doing what you're doing," He snickers. "that's payment enough."

"I have a diary, you know? Naruto gave it to me." He removes himself from the man to sit back on the couch.

"Oh yeah?"

Nodding he says. "I wrote in it.... do you wanna read it?"

Gai shakes his head laughing. "Diaries are secret, you're not supposed to read them."

"But I'm inviting you to."

"Noo, thank you." Holding the boy's cheeks, Gai pulls him toward him planting a kiss to his forehead. "You get some sleep, you've been up long enough. I have laundry to fold."

"I'll help you." He picks up the items of clothing that he'd accidently dumped over.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, there's no school tomorrow, so I can sleep in as late as I like."

Laughing, Gai says. "I forgot. I've never had a no school day on a childs end."

"What do you mean?"

"You may not have school, but Kakashi has to go in with student reports and such. Its like a big meeting of the school."

"So... he won't be here?"

"He'll be home eventually."

"Oh."

"You sound disappointed."

"Its not that, I just thought we'd all get a bite out and maybe play some catch at the park." He half lied, he had actually intended to hang out with the two of them up until his plans for Gai to leave came into play.

"That's okay, we can do it Sunday, or it could be just the two of us?"

"We'll see." He places a well folded shirt on top of the pile. 'Dammit, that school has a lot of nerve. How can they just ask teachers to come in on a no school day? I'll have to rework my plan a little.'

Thursday morning. 2:50 a.m.

Sasuke dressed and readied himself for his jog with Lee; he knows this city pretty well and hopefully the chipper male will follow his lead.

"Sasuke!" Calls the male, who was jogging in place in front of his home.

Speeding up a bit he's at the older male's side. "Hey."

"I brought water incase we get thirsty; how far should we go?"

"I don't know, we'll just run until we can't."

"Sounds good to me." He smiles as they head down the side walk. "Its nice to see someone with just as much stamina as mine. I usually jog with Kiba but he can only stand a block before we retire to our homes."

"Really." It wasn't said to further conversation it was just something to say in order to show that he was listening.

The sky is a dark blue, filled with black patches from todays coming clouds; the air is crisp with spring moisture and the animals and plants are slowly beginning to wake up around them. The two jog out of Lee's block and into another, the run is steady in pace and light in conversation just huffs of breath coming from their mouths. They passed through the park; a few cars on the road slowly ride by in the oncoming direction. Sasuke kept his eye on the prize darting for an open field; there's a hill at the far end of the field that he's planning on going to take a break. They've been at it for an hour and a half now so if he decided to take a break Lee wouldn't think he was being a whimp or something.

"Come this way." He pants as he starts up the incline.

Their run is slowed as they make their way up the hillside to its top and when they reach it Sasuke slows his pace before coming to a hault. He's more tired than he'd thought while Lee didn't seem as effected by it. A bottle of water is held out to him and he takes it gladly.

"You should only drink once your breaths have calmed otherwise you're liable to faint." He takes a seat indian style, looking out over the area in awe of the nearing sunrise.

"Right." He continues to steady his breaths so he can take a long swig of water. Tilting his head back he takes a drink of water, guilt crashing through his stomach at what he intends to do. 'Why does love have you doing weird things? I'm not this vicious. And its not as if Kakashi will be home once Gai leaves anyway.' Sure that he's rested, Sasuke stands. Eyes closed to keep himself in the game, "It sure would be nice to watch the sunrise from here." he mentions absently.

"That's really romantic thinking; you should bring Naruto up here with you sometime."

Sasuke smiles secretly when he sees Lee standing. "Oh come on," He puts on a joking tone. "I can't enjoy it with you?" He gives the male a nudge with his elbow.

Laughing, Lee shakes his head. "Friends can share sunrises too." He gives him a playful push back.

Snickering, he looks down the hill. "Wanna roll it?"

"Roll it?"

"Yeah. It'd be fun." He walks down the hill a step then two turning back around to face Lee. "We can see how long the grass will hold before roll back."

"Is this a game?" He mimics his friend, crouching down grabbing onto a finger full of grass. "Now what?"

"You rock a bit." He says doing just that.

Unsure of why on Earth rolling down a hill would be any fun Lee begins to rock. "Whoa!" He sways backwards as the grass gives way.

"Lee!" His voice is panicked as he reaches out for the falling male. Grabbing his hand, he's just in time to be tugged down the hill with the male.

The two grunt and yelp as they topple over and over themselves, sometimes over each other; all they can see is darkness and grass, sky and darkness and grass until they reach the bottom sliding a bit before the roll is over. Sasuke couldn't help but laugh, that was actually really fun.

"Let's do it again." He says sitting up.

Lee looks as though he's being electricuted, his body is trembling a bit as its trying to move. "Sasuke..." He painfully grunts out. "I ca- I can't move my back."

Horrified that it might be broken he reaches beneath the male to try helping him up but when he cried out he lowered him back down. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.... what do I do?" He asked more panicked then he thought he'd be. "Do you... can you move at all, are you paralyzed?!"

Lee shakes his head. "Its just thrown out; reach into my pocket I have a phone, call an emergency number."

Nodding, he reaches into Lee's left front pocket then the right locating the phone. "Who do I call?" Spotting Lee's parents number he speed dials them instead. "Mr. Rock?" He says after the phone has been answered. "Your son and I were out for a jog and he threw his back out when he went down a hillside. You have to call for help."

"Don't move him, let the paramedics do that. Just stay with him, we're coming." Says Lee's father. "Where are you?"

"We're at the hill on Star street past the park." He nods to staying with the older male. "You have to hurry." He insists before hanging up, pressing his hand to Lee's chest he caresses it tenderly. "Your father is calling someone to come get you. I'll stay with you and wait."

"Thank you."

Sasuke nods.

He waits patiently with Lee and after what felt like forever an ambulance finally arrived as well as the male's parents. Sasuke was a little surprised to see how much Lee looked like his mother rather than his father, considering the two speak in the same whistful way, but the man has dark brown hair and a pugged nose. The men in the ambulance surround Lee with a stretcher lifting him after counts of three.

"I'm very sorry." Sasuke says to his friend's parents.

"Its not your fault. Lee can be very energetic sometimes, this was bound to happen someday." His mother explains very calmly, though, she has tears in her eyes from worry that 'someday' could have ended up being the last day as far as the male ever walking again went. She touches Sasuke on the shoulder before saying. "He'll be fine, I'm sure of it. You just get on home." Her hand came up to his cheek. "You're a very good friend, most kids would run in scary situations. We'll call you when Lee is fine for visitors."

Sasuke couldn't help but blush in awe. He's never had the pleasure of female company before, it was warm and gentle with no threat of being popped on the shoulder or teased. There's a chance of being squeezed to death in a hug but by a womans strength it would only be a comfort rather than a pain. A tinge of jealousy serged through Sasuke just then and on the walk home he was choking on it to let it go. He's had his father and his brother to love him, and they were the best of both worlds but to feel the real thing was almost enough to knock him out for a good week. It was eight in the morning by the time his walk home ended. Gai was at the door waiting for him; he was practically shouting over the phone to Kakashi who had left for the teachers meeting.

"I see him now. I'll call you if anything is wrong." Hanging up he swings the door open pulling Sasuke into a spinning hug. "My dear Sasuke, where did you go?! I thought that you had left us again, you were acting so strangely last night and then to wake up and find you missing...." He nuzzles his cheek into the boys hair.

'Hn. A mother could never lift a sixteen year old.' He wraps his arms around Gai, enjoying the passionate hug. 'I'm acting childish. I should really learn to be more like Gai, though, full of feeling while still being manly.' His happy expression droops a bit when hearing the man break out in tears. 'I should learn how to pick my role models.'

..................

Its now early afternoon. The two found their way to the park, baseball and gloves in hand. Kakashi may not be with them but they can still have a nice time. There are many people in the park today, some of them he's seen around school but has never talked to, others too young to attend his school- screaming away their youthful breaths while playing hide and seek or tag- Sasuke was drinking in the bright sun that's shining today, thinking that even though his plans were ruined he can still have a nice time. He hopes Lee is ok, though. Lee's parents haven't called yet about visiting, so there must be something serious happening right now.

"Why do I have to throw with my left hand when I'm right handed? Shouldn't the left hand be catching?"

Gai cocks his head tossing the ball back to the male. "I'm not sure, maybe you're less likely to drop it when your good hand is catching it." Gai held up his finger for Sasuke to wait; Sasuke watches the man remove his phone before speaking into it, the ball they're playing with is tossed up and down within his catch as he waits for Gai to get off the phone.

"I'll be there shortly." Says the man hanging up. "Sasuke, I have to go. Lee needs some back treatment and I've been called in."

"Is Lee okay?" He asks.

"He's fine, he just needs a good pop here and there."

"That's good. You go ahead, don't worry about me. I'll do my report until you get back."

Smiling, he nods. "You're a good kid. Do you want a ride, I can drop you off before I go."

"I'll walk." He removes his glove holding out a hand for Gai to toss him his glove.

His roommate darts across the park in a hurry to get to the hospital or wherever Lee may be right now. Sasuke looks around for anyone he knows to play a little ball with, but seeing no one he decides to go home like he'd planned. He'd walked in the door and the first thing he heard was a dull-..

"Yooo, Sasuke."

Turning his head, he's beyond shocked to see Kakashi sitting on the couch. "Kakashi, what are you doing home?" He replaces the gloves and ball in a box in the living room closet.

"I was done with my reports and asked to leave early on a family emergency... I heard you went missing. Does Gai know where you are?"

"I just came back from the park, he was with me. I went jogging with Lee this morning."

"Mm." He replies sounding more than bored. He knew the boy would be fine but he came back to help Gai search for him. He can see now that that was a waste of time. "And, where is Gai now?"

"Off treating Lee's back, he just left."

"So then its just the two of us?"

"Just the two of us."

Sasuke can't believe his luck. He will officially never leave a note for when he decides to go out with his friends at random times or stay out late when he's hanging out if it will warrent alone time with the man. His plan to injure but not hurt Lee worked out perfectly after all. If he'd changed his mind they'd all three be sitting around together doing something, or he and Gai would still be at the park and by the time he'd found out that Kakashi was at home it would have been way to late to find a way to get the man out of the house.

The two are stark naked in a matter of seconds. Sasuke isn't bent over the coffee table but set on top of it on all fours; Kakashi behind him, one leg up, his foot beside the teens knee, his hands clamped on Sasuke's hips. Hunched in pleasure, he watches his sex 'hide-n-seek'- as fantasy Sasuke had put it- inside of his body as the teen moves his hips forward and back with no help from Kakashi thrusting what-so-ever. A certain moan from the younger male brought his body to life as he strove to find that sound again, locating it three times after. Head lowered, Sasuke's pants brush the shining table top with fog before the polish removes it away; the male watches his reflection with interest, having it shut out with pleasure when Kakashi grips his erection giving it a few solid strokes. The liquid heat growing between them is being gently coolled by the blowing breeze of the ceiling fan overhead. Sasuke was too close right now, and grabbing Kakashi's hand from his member he throws it off before he moves his body from over the man. Turning, so that he's sitting on the table, he reaches a hand out to the man hooking his arm around his shoulders bringing him in for a kiss.

Naruto had gotten bored around ten o'clock when Kiba told him that he couldn't come over because he had to watch the store, Shino was unthinkable in social situations, Neji is busy, Lee is... well Lee didn't answer his phone, Shikamaru isn't at home either which has him wondering if maybe he's with Neji, and his cousin is coming over for a visit since his school has a three day weekend so his mother is cleaning the house like a maid service and he is not interested in doing something like that. Better to just stay out of her way. So out the door he went, to the arcade, to the ramen shop- the one that makes that new steak ramen- he took a walk around the fountain in the park which is when he'd gotten the idea to check on Sasuke. He wanted to give him time to cool off before seeing the male again. He'd really blown up at the park and he didn't want him to think that he's pressuring him to talk. He had no idea he was being seen as a pressuring person, but space be damned because he's bored. If he'd only known....

Just as he was about to ring the bell he saw the curtain move before going back into place, it moved again this time a little wider revealing a sight very unmistakeable to a teen- nudity.

'Sasuke... he walks around the house naked when he's alone.' He has a sly smile on his face as he decides to take a closer peek. But the nudity he saw was not Sasuke's but his reading teacher! 'What the-...?' He wills the curtains to blow aside again when sees a pair of legs wrap around the mans bare butt. 'Is he molesting him? I have to stop him!'

But just as he was about to bang on the door before abruptly barging he hears Sasuke through the thin glass very clearly say. "On the couch." Before the blown curtain revealed his boyfriend holding his own weight up on the man in order to be moved.

Tears stung the boys eyes instantly as he shakily backs away from the "red" house. 'He's not being molested.... he's into it! Sasuke's... he.... how could he do this to me....' All their encounters seem to come rushing to him until he found himself rushing away from the house. Sick. Hurt. Pained.

Lifting Sasuke from the table, Kakashi drops down onto the seat, the cushion is puffy enough to bounce the man's behind shoving him up into the younger male just right.

"Oh God," He whispers into the man's pressing mouth before kissing him deeply, tongue tasting around the cavern of Kakashi's mouth.

The position was odd because of Sasuke's legs being bent up at his chest and resting under Kakashi's armpits. Kakashi had thought of lifting the teens legs up onto his shoulders but Sasuke solved that problem by parting his legs into a straddled split, at which point they really got into bouncing up and down. His knees bending, feet resting on the rim of the coffee table, Kakashi's breaths flutter and rasp in and out creating sensual sighs from his young lover as they spill onto his throbbing erection. Sasuke's forearms craddle the man's head keeping it there to enjoy the sensation for a moment, but is instead peppered with kissing along his collarbone, chest, and nipples; the tantalizingly kisses return to Sasuke's mouth. Kakashi's hand caressess the teens jawline, his thumb brushing down from his ear to his chin. Sasuke turns his head out of the kiss to lick the tip of the man's thumb before his hand catches Kakashi's bringing the middle finger into his mouth, sucking it lavishly like his body is sucking on the man's cock; the same steady, hard intake of his moving up and down applied to his finger caused Kakashi to go numb everywhere but his sex and his finger. Who says leaving lubricant around the house is in poor taste?

'He owns my body. Damn this boy.' Kakashi somehow came from the cloud to announce to himself. He cried out heatedly when Sasuke's teeth took a small bite at him. He could feel Sasuke's closely pressed body shiver around him when his finger turned upright, stroking the roof of the male's mouth over and over causing him to ride him harder and harder in pace.

Kakashi freed his appendage when Sasuke groaned after having his balls squeezed and palmed; the teens bouncing ceasing to a grind which brought his knees to bend a little. He watches, eyes half lidded, as the man gives him a handjob without even touching his shaft, which sits between them in a pleasure coma ready to awake at the burst, it only took one good stroke of the man's hands- which seemed to come out of nowhere- and Sasuke's was through, the clamping of his inner walls brings the older man with him. Collapsed into each other, spent, kissing shyly like its always their first time, Sasuke hugs the man.

"Maybe next time, I could do you?"

The man smiled but popped the boy on the head with the pillow on the couch.
