DEDICTION:

 

This chapter is dedicated to Akenhod for the best comment for the last chapter. You made my day!

 

Akenhod: “Take it like a man, Sasuke!”

 

 

 

That Wasn't So Bad, Was It?

 

Earlier

 

“Get him to shut up!” Gaara barked, appearing at the door of the room, a small group of maids cowering behind him.

 

“And what do you suggest?!” Sasuke shot back, reaching for Naruto, but the blonde dematerialized before his eyes and reappeared over on the far side of the room, pressed as far up against the wall as he could be to get away from them.

 

Gaara snarled and began to sink into the floor. “I'm going to block out his chakra with mine. Get him calmed down.” the Kazekage said with the voice of a serial killer as he disappeared into the floor.

 

Sasuke watched until he disappeared into the sand before moving quickly to Naruto's side.

 

“Oi, Dobe.” Sasuke reached out, only to have Naruto smack his hand away sharply.

 

“Get… away.” Naruto forced out through his teeth, clutching at his head. “I can't… control…”

 

Sasuke's brow furrowed, and he prepared himself for another few hours of blistering, burning lips until the Kyuubi's chakra died down enough so he could heal himself, and leaned in.

 

“N…No!” Naruto yelled, shoving himself further back into the wall. “I'm… I'm…”

 

“Usuratonkachi!” Sasuke slammed his hands against the wall on either side of Naruto's head, trapping him there. “This is how I woke you up last time, just sit still for a second!”

 

Naruto shook his head, a frantic look beginning to appear in his red eyes as he flattened himself against the wall.

 

Sasuke crouched lower to get at eye level with Naruto and leaned in again. His lips touched softly against Naruto's, and he was shocked to find them… cool. Not hot and blazing like Naruto usually was when he was like this. He could hear Gaara's sand burying the room, blocking off the windows and doors to keep things silent and nonexistent to the outside world, but his mind was only on Naruto.

 

He felt Naruto relax against him, and then push forward into the raven's chest until Sasuke was rocking off balance backwards. Sasuke pulled away to breathe, and Naruto's red eyes met his before Sasuke was thrown back with the force of a tsunami, the backs of his knees slamming into the bed and his head smashing against the wall as he fell back.

 

He looked up to the sound of jagged breathing above him, finding Naruto hovering over him, hands on either side of his head and knees on the sides of his hips, an excited look flashing behind his red eyes as Naruto rolled his tongue hungrily behind his sharpened teeth.

 

“Naruto?”

 

Naruto laughed and leaned in, licking Sasuke's neck harshly, canine teeth scraping across skin and drawing blood as he moved down to Sasuke's chest.

 

Sasuke's eyes popped open as his brain fit all of the pieces together.

 

Naruto was horny, and it was making the fox restless, coming out as this unstable chakra, driven to mate.

 

Whatever, I'll just deal with it. Get rid of it and he'll calm down.

 

Sasuke swallowed and pushed up off the bed, moving his arms up and down over Naruto's arms through the material of his shirt. He traced his tongue over Naruto's cheek as the blonde sat still for a moment, purring slightly at the caresses, but as Sasuke tried to roll Naruto onto his back, Naruto's arm snapped up and slammed Sasuke's wrists back down against the bed, pinning his hands up by his head and diving into his neck again.

 

Sasuke wasn't called a genius for nothing, but his eyes went wide with almost horror as he finally understood what Naruto wanted.

 

He wants… to top me.

 

“N-Naruto!” Sasuke called, trying to shove back against Naruto, but he was in a helpless position, with Naruto pinning his entire body to the bed, and he couldn't really shove Naruto away with Naruto holding his hands down by his head with so much force that he would be able to keep the earth from splitting during an earth quake.

 

Naruto growled warningly before licking Sasuke's cheek, just daring his mate to try and get away. It was spring, he was horny, and now was a perfect time to mate. Why wouldn't it be a good time? Naruto knew from experience that his mate was rarely never in the mood, and he was insistent when he was. Well now it was his turn to be insistent, he needed to feel his mate, to be one with him.

 

Sasuke's skin was burning with embarrassment and even a little nervousness—though he would never admit it—as Naruto drew his tongue over his skin, leaving lines of glistening saliva along Sasuke's flesh.

 

Sasuke forced himself to still and just feel. Maybe Naruto would forget, or just calm down, yeah, he was enough of an idiot to be able to do that. Sasuke's fingers and toes clenched reflexively as Naruto's fangs ghosted lightly over his jawbone and neck, arousing him more with the feeling of danger literally breathing down his neck. Sasuke gasped out as Naruto began to tear at his shirt with his teeth, ripping the cloth away like it was tissue paper, and soon Naruto was sucking at his bare chest, shredded pieces of fabric littering the room around them.

 

Sasuke groaned and squirmed under the blonde's hold, trying to worm his way out of Naruto's grip while the blonde was preoccupied with his chest, but Naruto apparently had no intention of letting go any time soon.

 

“Naruto… hang on… wait…” Sasuke forced out around a grunt, trying to lean up. He gritted his teeth in exasperation as Naruto kept him firmly against the bed and settled for trying to pry the ANBU chest plate off of Naruto using his teeth. He'd never in a million years thought he would miss the obnoxious orange jumpsuit Naruto had ditched when he became an ANBU, but it would be so much easier right now to undo a zipper instead of iron clasps with his teeth.

 

After a while, he gave up after getting one clasp undone and moved to pull the hitai-ate hiding Naruto's beautiful golden hair off his head with his teeth and discarded it as far away as he could over the side of the bed. He wasn't going to risk being blindfolded again. It seemed that this Naruto wasn't the Kyuubi's mind speaking through Naruto, but better to be safe than blind. Naruto's soft golden blonde hair fell into his face, the forehead protector that usually kept it out of the way was gone, leaving the gorgeously unkempt locks to fall into Naruto's eyes, and Sasuke discovered that the golden matched either the red or the blue of his eyes, depending on which side Naruto was in at the moment.

 

All at once, Naruto let go of his wrists and sat back on Sasuke's clear arousal, both of them groaning, though Naruto's sounded more like an animalistic snarl instead of a humanoid sound.

 

Maybe he just wants to ride me. Sasuke thought in relief.

 

Sasuke took the opportunity of Naruto's sudden period of tranquility to undo the chest armor and pulled Naruto's shirt over his head, also throwing them as far away as he could. He ran his hands over Naruto's flawless tanned chest, which contrasted amazingly with his bright hair and red eyes. Naruto's only motion was a slow rocking over Sasuke's groin, making it harder for Sasuke to concentrate on stripping them to salvage the clothes before Naruto destroyed them by just tearing them off, like any sex-driven animal would. He already needed a new shirt, and he didn't want to have to replace the rest of his wardrobe too.

 

Halfway through getting all of their clothes off, Naruto apparently got tired of waiting and his claws slashed out, shredding Sasuke's pants and his own boxers to ribbons. Sasuke had been able to strip Naruto at least down to his boxers, but he was still wearing everything. Sasuke's annoyed sigh was cut short as Naruto leaned back down, pushing his shoulders down to the bed and nipped at Sasuke's nipple with his sharp teeth, eliciting a gasp from Sasuke that bled into a moan.

 

Sasuke tried to sit up again but Naruto pushed him back down, ramming his knee between Sasuke's legs and grinding, rendering Sasuke's brain useless from the rough, dry pleasure as he groaned loudly.

 

When Sasuke's brain finally restarted itself, he was able to register that Naruto was between his legs with his hips up on Naruto's legs and Naruto was positioned at his entrance. Instantly, he went rigid like a wooden board. Naruto—animalist state and all—seemed to understand his mate's uneasiness and leaned down to lick Sasuke's cheek, drawing his tongue slowly over Sasuke's skin, as if telling him that he would be alright.

 

Naruto had cried the first time they'd done this, and used some very colorful language he most likely picked up from Sai about the pain, but he had also told Sasuke to keep going, that he would be fine once Sasuke was in. Sasuke didn't know what it would feel like, pain, or just uncomfortable… the Kyuubi had seemed to heal Naruto pretty quickly afterwards, so there was no long term issues of Sasuke having to deal with Naruto's griping, but what about him? That last time Kyuubi had hurt him—the bite on his neck—he wasn't able to heal it and the inch-deep fang marks were still very visible in the muscle right on the side of his neck, so what about this?

 

Sasuke told himself to relax, remembering vaguely that he had told Naruto that their first time, and let his spine turn to rubber. He unclenched his fingers and closed his eyes, breathing deeply despite his arousal and waited. It was obvious this side of Naruto wasn't going to calm down until he relieved the need to mate—it was getting close to spring after all—so he had to relieve it this way.

 

Naruto was still for a moment, continuing to clean Sasuke's collarbone with his tongue. And out of nowhere, he bit down into Sasuke's neck in the exact spot the Kyuubi had bit him the second he thrust completely into Sasuke, burying himself.

 

Sasuke couldn't help it, his eyes rolled back into his head, and the pain was so great that he wasn't exactly sure, but he thought he screamed. He fought against Naruto's hold, shoving back on Naruto's shoulders and trying to yank away from Naruto's fangs and cock about to split him in two, but the damn Kyuubi was fucking strong.

 

After a while, he was able to calm down enough to feel the pain in his ass leaving, mostly due to the new pain in his reopened fang marks that were leaking a steady flow of blood. Naruto had bit him… to try and lessen the pain when he entered Sasuke.

 

They were frozen in time, completely motionless, molded as one with Naruto gripping Sasuke's hips in an almost crushing grasp, about to shatter his hip bone, and Sasuke's arms around Naruto's neck to the point where he could have been strangling Naruto if he wasn't protected by the demon in him.

 

Sasuke forced himself to breathe. In, out, in, out, and then the position got really uncomfortable, his spine was almost bent at a ninety-degree angle because of the way he was resting on Naruto and clinging to him like a lifeline.

 

“Move.” he spat, pleading that this fox-Naruto would get the message.

 

Naruto moved back and slammed into Sasuke, nearly leaving him unconscious with the extra force of the Kyuubi.

 

Holy…

 

It felt incredible, but he wasn't able to even finish the thought as Naruto repeated the movement, and he lost function in his body, only able to feel how amazing it felt to have Naruto filling him, slamming into him like a wild animal. The dominance that Naruto apparently had but didn't show, it was a hell of a turn on.

 

The room was echoing with Sasuke's yells and cries and Naruto's growls and snarls as they both grew closer. Sasuke inwardly pitied any other person that had every had to deal with this, because Naruto was fucking rough, but the majority of him didn't give a shit, as long as Naruto didn't stop pounding him into the bed of sand.

 

Bed of sand… he was going to be missing some skin on his back from rubbing against it so forcefully.

 

His hands shot up and gripped the bars on the headboard in a death grip, bending them beyond repair as Naruto rammed into him hard enough to knock him off the edge of the world. He was aware of his yells and shouts in the air, but they felt disconnected. He was on cloud nine, floating millions of miles above the world, and nothing about this moment was anything but perfect.

 

…It was too bad that Naruto wouldn't remember any of this when he snapped back to his senses.

 

Sasuke gasped as Naruto yanked him up so he was sitting on Naruto's legs and kept pounding into him, driving him completely senseless as he gripped Naruto's shoulders like they were anchoring him to consciousness.

 

Sasuke's vision was blurry as he approached his climax and he felt the blood dripping down his neck and waist where Naruto's claws and fangs had torn into his skin, his lips were bruised from Naruto's forcefulness and his back was raw from being ground against the bed so hard, but he was drowning in ecstasy. He didn't feel the pain that was supposed to be there, all he could feel was Naruto slamming into him.

 

His vision went black for a split second, and a volcano inside of him erupted. He threw his lips against Naruto's in an attempt to muffle their screams as they came, and he was filled with something hot as Naruto roared into his mouth.

 

Sasuke went limp, flopping back as Naruto fell on top of him, surprisingly light despite the fact that he was as big as Sasuke now, no longer the scrawny little runt he'd been back in team seven. Their chest fell and rose in unison, Sasuke's arms still around Naruto, and Sasuke felt strangely… complete.

 

Naruto sighed into his chest, the scars on his cheeks shrinking as he nuzzled Sasuke's skin, making the raven shiver pleasantly. He almost forgot how horrified Naruto would be when he saw him, but quickly remembered as every muscle in Naruto's body clenched and he shot up, looking down in terror at Sasuke. Sasuke felt himself wince; the claw marks, the bite, the blood; he had to look like he'd just come out of a small-scale war with a rabid polecat.

 

Naruto was frozen, staring down at Sasuke, his eyes scanning over every wound in Sasuke's body before he yanked out of the raven, literally flying across the room as he scrambled back against the wall, shaking his head in almost denial.

 

Sasuke pushed himself up and took one step across the bed for the shivering blonde before his spine quaked with the pain of someone stabbing a thousand swords—straight out of the fire—up his ass. He gasped and his knees buckled, but he managed to catch himself with his hands before he cracked his head open on the ground.

 

He forced his hands to drag him forward, moving his legs as little as possible to crawl across the floor to the shaking boy. He would never mock Naruto ever again for being sore after sex.

 

“Naruto.” His hand reached up, stroking the soft, warm cheek, covered in new tear tracks.

 

“I'm sorry.” Naruto croaked, trying to push away from him again back into the wall. “I-I tried… I didn't want…”

 

“Usuratonkachi.” Sasuke forced himself onto his knees and pulled Naruto into a tight hug. “I would have fried you with the chidori if I didn't want that.”

 

Naruto drew in a sharp breath, his body quaking with silent sobs and guilt.

 

“But… we have to do that sometime when you're actually in your right mind.” Sasuke said quietly.

 

That made Naruto stop. He looked up curiously at Sasuke, his sky blue eyes boring into Sasuke's onyx ones as he tried to convince himself that Sasuke was telling the truth and not just trying to make him feel better.

 

“Really?” he squeaked.

 

“Yes Dobe.” Sasuke winced as he tried to sit down, and eventually settled for just kneeling. Who needs to sit anyway? Unfortunately, Naruto saw the flinch.

 

“Hurts, doesn't it?” he asked smugly, looking slyly up at Sasuke. “And what do you think about the times you want to do it more than once?”

 

Sasuke felt himself cringe again just from imagining it.

 

“That's different, moron,” he scoffed, “the fox heals you, I don't have that advantage. Also, you didn't prepare me, so yes, it hurt like a bitch.”

 

Naruto laughed smugly before wrapping his hands around Sasuke's waist and hoisting him off the ground.

 

“I'm not a cripple!” Sasuke barked as Naruto carried him over to the bed, but when he tried to struggle, he accidentally jerked his leg, and the swords stabbed him again, making him arch his back with a loud hiss.

 

Naruto put him on the bed and moved to spoon him. “It doesn't hurt as much if your body's bent like this.” He said, fixing the blankets around them.

 

Sasuke took a deep breath, and realized just how fucking exhausted he was. He couldn't have gotten more than two hours of sleep when he fell asleep earlier, meaning that he hadn't slept for a good seven days. He was going to kill the next person who woke him up and he dared someone to test him and see if he was kidding. Naruto was the exception; he would just permanently break the blonde's legs so he could never walk again.

 

Next Day

 

Naruto awoke to the quiet room and the sun gleaming in through the small window, and from how low it was on the horizon, Naruto guessed that it was early, no later than three thirty in the morning. He sat up carefully, looking down over Sasuke's sleeping face. He couldn't help the smirk that quickly followed, Sasuke looked calm, not hurt or betrayed in any way.

 

The raven was lying on Naruto's arm, his pale arm draped over Naruto's waist in a half hug. Naruto had never met someone who literally did not move when they slept, and then Sasuke came along. Naruto was positive Sasuke had fallen asleep like that, with Naruto lying on his back, his arm under Sasuke and holding the raven close, Sasuke lying on his stomach as he laid his arm over Naruto's waist. He didn't look sad, or hurt that Naruto had done that…

 

Thank god. Naruto sighed loudly and looked around the room, scouring it for every bit of damage that he had caused. The most prominent thing was not any holes in the walls or giant hunks of flesh on the floor like there would have normally been when Naruto went into the Kyuubi stage, but the clothes. Or, he should say, the remnants of what had been clothes last night. Sure, the blood was noticeable, as were the claw and teeth marks in Sasuke's flawless—err, what had been flawless skin, but the shredded pieces of cloth covered the room like a layer of snow.

 

Wow, I must have been really horny when I went to bed to make me that frantic and out of control. Duh I could feel it, but I don't remember being that turned on… I know I didn't fall asleep, so what even happened? It was too bad he didn't remember a damn thing about last night.

 

Naruto peeled the covers away, draping them back over Sasuke as he looked for something to cover his body. It seemed Sasuke had been able to salvage his ANBU shirt and chest plate, along with his hitai-ate—the most important part of his disguise while hiding here—but he couldn't find anything else…

 

Oh wait.

 

He bent down and brushed away the sand that had been disheveled from the floor during some sort of scuffle last night. It looked like someone had been thrown back, and hard, and Naruto had a hunch that it wasn't him. Beneath the sand he unearthed his pants, picking them up and silently shaking them free of the grit, watching Sasuke the whole time to make sure he didn't wake the raven. It was a rarity that he woke up before Sasuke, so the Uchiha must have been outrageously tired. Naruto wasn't even sure when he'd slept last, it took a few days to get to Suna, even running the whole way, and Naruto knew with a grimace that Sasuke wouldn't have slept the whole way. Naruto looked a little more at the scraps of clothing before determining one thing: Sasuke had no more clothes. The thought made him smirk to himself.

 

Then, to top it off, Sasuke had fought with Gaara right off the bat, and then Naruto hadn't let him sleep for more than two hours before the damn Kyuubi and his thrice damned mating season urges had kicked in so hard and fast that he couldn't stop them. He remembered Sasuke leaning in, his hands on either side of Naruto's head against the walls, and how hot he felt, and then everything went into a red blur. He couldn't remember anything beyond that.

 

After searching a little bit more for his boxers, and then finally giving up when his search proved fruitless, he pulled on his pants, shirt and chest plate, heading over for the door where his ANBU mask and sandals were sitting along side his cloak and Ninjato. He tied the sword over his back and stepped into his shoes as he slid his mask on, deciding to leave the cloak behind because of the heat in the desert. He tied his hitai-ate over his hair, making sure to hide all of his golden hair before ducking silently out the door.

 

Naruto stretched with the first rays of the morning, looking around to the other people waking with the birds of Suna and couldn't help but smile. Everyone looked so… at peace here, so unlike the disarray Konoha had been in. His smile sank a little at the memories he'd seen of the Village of the Hidden Leaf, but he refused to let it disappear even though no one could see his face as he walked down the busy streets of Suna.

 

Some people turned to give him a curious glance, but none of them staring long enough to harbor distrust or annoyance toward him, something that he basked in, as that was what the villagers from Konoha had always treated him with.

 

The smell of ramen caught his nose and he instantly veered for it, grinding to a halt in the middle of the street as he realized what a dead giveaway that would be for him. He would have some brought to their room later by the maids Gaara had sworn to secrecy.

 

Naruto turned back to the street, taking in all of the sights and surroundings of Suna as he walked, his arms loose by his side. It had been months since he'd felt this relaxed, and he wasn't about to pass up the chance to just lay back and breathe.

 

Spying a clothing shop on one of the streets, his conscience kicked in and he remembered the scraps of what had been clothes littering their floor and he raced into it, stepping up to the counter and smiling at the girl even though he knew she couldn't see him with the mask on.

 

“Can I help you?” she asked politely, her hands twitching and fiddling with the pens on the counter nervously. It must have been one of her first times working here, Naruto concluded.

 

“Can you tell me what size I am?”

 

“Hmm…” her eyes scanned up and down his form, running over the hip width, shoulders and height before she blurted out, “five feet seven sir, a medium or large should fit you.”

 

“Ok, thanks.” He smiled brightly, gliding over to the clothes rack where the mediums were hung, trying not to get freaked out by just how fast she had done that. Sasuke was about an inch taller than him, but he was also… lankier than he was, so anything that was a little too tall and a little too tight on him should fit Sasuke.

 

Naruto pulled everything black and navy off the shelf, knowing that Sasuke would castrate him if he brought home something in his own taste, and ducked into the dressing room, yanking off his clothes as he pulled the first things on.

 

By the end of the hour (because of his ANBU speed), Naruto had one navy cloak, two navy shirts, one pair of black pants, black sandals, black forearm protectors and black chest armor. He just hoped that Sasuke wouldn't be too picky like usual about his clothing and appearance (Naruto had caught him on more than one occasion fixing his hair so it stayed out the right way, you can't hide anything from an ANBU) and would just wear the stupid clothes. He'd chosen different color armor from the Konoha ANBU uniform, knowing that Sasuke would hate that too—no matter how much it made Naruto sad—but the only other color had been black, so he hoped Sasuke would have sense enough to stay in the shade or have a heat stroke.

 

“Ooh!” he skipped over to a vegetable stand, hoping that Sasuke wouldn't be a prick this morning for what happened last night. The Sasuke Uchiha? Bottoming? Naruto might save Sasuke the trouble and just commit ritual suicide.

 

Later

 

Sasuke groaned and refrained from stretching, knowing that he would really feel it later if he did. He pushed away the covers to inspect his injuries. Yep, his entire waist was black and blue and his thighs weren't in much better shape.

 

Crossing his fingers, he reached down, chakra enveloping his hand and ran it over his bruised skin, letting out a relieved breath when it began to heal. He traced over the claw marks in his hips and the moved up to the fang marks in his neck, which were starting to get irritated and ooze something. But unlike all of his other wounds, instead of his skin warming with the chakra, his neck stayed cold. Sasuke's brow furrowed and he walked over to the basin of water that had been left there so he could wash, looking at the puncture marks in the reflection. He touched the red, irritated skin, wincing at the sharp stabbing pain. He ran his hand with the healing chakra over the wound again, but while the skin around the wound healed slowly but surely, there was some sort of chakra in the wound from the bite, preventing it from being healed. It just pushed his chakra away.

 

Sasuke sighed in annoyance, looking back to Naruto's absence in the bed and the neat pile of clothes sitting at its foot that he hadn't noticed earlier. On top of the pile were armor, a tomato, a few rice balls, and a pomegranate from a desert pomegranate tree.

 

Sasuke walked over and picked the fruit up, tearing the flesh of the tomato in two and popping half in his mouth, relishing in the water it gave his dry mouth. He ate the rice balls next while he dressed.

 

All black and navy? What does he think I am, emo? I'm going to have a heat stroke in these things! But despite that—and eager to find Naruto, though he would never admit it—he pulled the clothes on, grateful at least that they fit him.

 

Sasuke fixed the chest plate and forearm protectors, and tied his sword on his waist, finishing of the tomato. He picked up the pomegranate and headed for the door, slipping unnoticed to the rooftops, where he looked around him.

 

On the way into Suna, despite the fact that it had been night, Sasuke had noticed a small grove of desert trees in the distance, where a desert pomegranate had been, and spotting it in the distance, he sped towards it, making sure to mask his chakra enough so no one would see or sense him.

 

He slowed as he approached, knowing that it would be a long shot if he snuck up on Naruto when the blonde had the Kyuubi's senses, but it was worth a try.

 

Naruto was standing on the top branch of the tree, leaning calmly against the trunk with his eyes closed. The tree—a good 200 feet—had adapted from the short rural pomegranate tree to get full sunlight even with other trees around it, and now towered over the rest.

 

Sasuke stepped quietly up the side of the tree, moving to lean against the tree next to Naruto on the five-foot wide branch.

 

Naruto's eyes opened slowly and he stared up at the clear blue sky, not a cloud in sight.

 

“Are you mad?” he asked finally.

 

Sasuke didn't answer, and instead, took Naruto's hand in his own, looking up at the sky with him.

 

“Remember when I said we needed to do it again when you knew what you were doing?”

 

Naruto's eyes popped open in shock and he flipped away from Sasuke, shimmying up to the edge of the branch. Sasuke sighed in annoyance, the idiot was afraid to hurt him. He shoved away from the trunk, daring Naruto to run away with his glare as he approached him.

 

Sasuke grabbed Naruto's arms and held him still while he slammed his lips over the blonde's, smirking in triumph at Naruto's throaty moan. Slowly, he reversed their positions, turning Naruto around and backing him into the trunk. He held Naruto forcefully against the tree and ravaged his neck and lips, slowly ripping of his clothes and draping them over the tree. Naruto's brain seemed to jumpstart itself after a while and he moved to take Sasuke's chest armor and shirt off so they would both attack each other with their tongues in turn.

 

Naruto pulled Sasuke back up away from his chest and slammed their lips together, tongues battling between their lips and saliva sliding down their chins, their tops bare and clothes out of the way.

 

Naruto knelt and shoved Sasuke's pants down, throwing them away when Sasuke stepped out of them; Sasuke shivered slightly at the wind at that altitude. Naruto grasped Sasuke's hip and took his length all at once in his mouth. Sasuke gasped as the world spun and his hands shot out, bracing himself against the tree so he wouldn't fall.

 

This was so different from riding Naruto, Naruto's tongue working over him and driving him almost to the edge right there. Sasuke pulled away with a growl, calling on his self-reservation skills like his life depended on it.

 

He tore away the rest of Naruto's clothes, throwing them into the pile and pushed Naruto back so he was lying on his back and then moved to straddle his hip. Naruto seemed to get a little uneasy with their reversed positions, as he would normally be the one doing this, but it was quickly forgotten as Sasuke kissed him. Naruto flung his hands around Sasuke's neck and pulled him flat against his chest. Somewhere along the way, Naruto managed to pull one of their shirts under them so they wouldn't tear off their skin on the bark of the tree, but how he had without Sasuke even noticing, Sasuke had no idea.

 

One of Naruto's hands pulled away from Sasuke's shoulders, dragging a nail down Sasuke's spine and making the raven shiver. Naruto looked up at Sasuke once to make sure, waiting until Sasuke nodded before sliding a finger into him. Sasuke shuddered again, a moan escaping his throat at the feeling of something inside of him, it was different yes, but in no way unlikable and it was no where near as painful as taking Naruto all at once last night. He was quickly deciding that their relationship would become versatile, and not just with specific top and bottom roles. Even at three fingers, it still didn't hurt, and he was inwardly grateful about last night preparing him for this.

 

“Stop.” He ground out after a while, and grabbed Naruto's length—smirking at Naruto's gasp—and positioning him above Naruto. Naruto stiffened a little apprehensively and Sasuke felt sort of amused that it was Naruto instead of him that was nervous.

 

He adjusted his knees on the cloth and slowly sat down, the tip of Naruto's manhood pushing into him. They gasped in unison, and now this was uncomfortable, but Sasuke kept going down until his was sitting on Naruto's waist with his shins flat against the tree. Sasuke's eyes were closed as he looked up at the sky, breathing deeply until his body adjusted to the intrusion. His eyes opened and he looked down at Naruto, who had gone into a catatonic state.

 

“Breathe.” Sasuke smacked him, jolting Naruto back into reality so he moved unconsciously in Sasuke, making them both groan again. Naruto gripped the shirt beneath them and slowly pushed up as Sasuke moved above him.

 

Sasuke groaned, bracing his hands on the bark to move faster, his stamina allowing him to go like this a lot longer than other people, but soon his knees started to go numb.

 

Naruto flipped them just in time, pushing Sasuke off of him and hanging one of their ANBU jackets over a little knot in the tree. Sasuke got the hint quickly and pulled Naruto against him with his back up against the tree and wrapped his legs around Naruto's waist. Naruto slammed back into him, finally—but not soon enough for Sasuke—taking up the same dominance he'd had last night.

 

The jacket was enough protection against the rough tree bark on his back, but he doubted whether or not he would have even felt the tree behind him with Naruto slamming into him like a jackhammer.

 

Again, his vision blurred, and his grip was leaving bruises on Naruto's shoulders, but neither of them felt anything but the ecstasy. The last thought Sasuke had before cumming was that he hoped Naruto didn't black out, because he was the one supporting both of them. They both screamed, Sasuke again muffling it with their lips smashed together as he was again filled with something hot that made him release again.

 

Naruto sank slowly to the branch, leaning against Sasuke with his head on Sasuke's shoulders, his panting heating up Sasuke's already burning skin. Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's neck, his head resting against the tree, his legs limply draped over Naruto's.

 

Slowly, they peeled themselves apart and cleaned up, dressing in very close proximity to each other and never moving more than two feet apart for the next few minutes. Sasuke moved to sit against the tree and Naruto plunked down in between his legs, resting his back against Sasuke's chest and laying his head back on the raven's shoulder.

 

“That wasn't so bad, was it?” Sasuke asked lightly, making Naruto laugh and nuzzle into him. Naruto looked to the right abruptly, his eyes trained on something in the distance that Sasuke couldn't even sense yet, but after a while, someone's chakra became noticeable running across the desert. Naruto twitched in apprehension and Sasuke's hand drifted to the sword at his hip.

 

A ninja in chunin garb jumped up onto the branch, bowing as he held out a letter, a sheet of paper and a pen. “Lord Kazekage sent me to deliver this to you, he said he received it from the Hokage from Konoha, and he would like your response.”

 

“How did you find us?” Naruto asked, detangling himself from Sasuke's protective hold and moving to take the note.

 

The chunin let out an out-of-breath chuckle. “It wasn't easy, I've been looking all morning.”

 

Naruto ripped open the seal and unfolded the note as the chunin stayed motionless, waiting for the response.

 

“Lord Kazekage Gaara,” Naruto read quietly, “during a recent mission passing through your country, one of my Jounin reported sensing chakra of Sasuke Uchiha. Because of recent events in our village with the Uchiha, I have reasons to believe that Naruto is staying in the Hidden Village of the Sand. I am writing you to ask you to send Naruto back to Konoha. I have no doubt that if he is with you that he is uninjured and completely safe, but we all miss Naruto here and would like him to return. I am willing to work with Naruto on his chakra control if that is the reason he hasn't yet returned, and the council believes that it is best that he is in a village where we can keep him safe from Akatsuki. I am not insinuating that you are unable to protect him from his enemies, but simply passing on the message the council asked me to relay. Best, Godaime Hokage Tsunade. And then Gaara says: Naruto, I can write back and tell her to go fuck herself, in politer terms of course,”—Naruto laughed lightly at this—“but I thought you might want to write her. I can also tell her that the Uchiha thought you were here, but moved on after learning that you weren't if you still want to stay hidden here.”

 

Naruto suspended the piece of blank paper in mid air and uncapped the pen, scribbling his message back on it.

 

Sasuke deadpanned. I thought he couldn't do that because of his chakra. “I thought your chakra control was crap.”

 

Naruto paused for a minute before continuing writing. “It came back when…” he trailed off suddenly, his writing speed picking up.

 

“When?” Sasuke prompted, stepping up behind Naruto to read what Naruto had written.

 

“…………After I came here because of Orochimaru.” Naruto said quickly, his writing getting even faster. The chunin shifted nervously at the suddenly tense atmosphere.

 

Sasuke didn't press the matter after that and just read the note over Naruto's shoulder.

 

Old hag,

 

Thanks for your note, but I don't want to come back to Konoha yet.

My chakra's good now, I don't know why, but it is, and I'm happy living out here with Sasuke.

I know the council doesn't like me, and I know they don't like Sasuke even more, and I want to stay with Sasuke, they wont want us both back in the village unless at least one of us is dead.

We'll be staying in Suna for some time now, and I don't know when I'll come back, but I know it won't be without Sasuke.

Tell Kakashi, Sakura and Sai hi, and that maybe we'll cross paths on a mission some time.

Stay young, and I'll see you some time in the near future unless old age kills you first.

 

Naruto

 

“You have a death wish, calling her old like that while she's frantic about you. She almost tore my throat out in the hospital when I said I didn't know where you were.”

 

Naruto laughed and folded up the note again, slipping it into the envelope with Tsunade's note and handing it back to the chunin. “Can you tell Gaara thank you?”

 

The chunin bowed again and stood, jumping to the ground and racing back to Konoha.

 

Naruto laughed again, scratching the back of his head. “I hope she doesn't kill Shizune if she gets too mad.”

 

“Dobe.” Sasuke rolled his eyes, jumping to the ground.

 

“Hey!” Naruto barked, leaping down behind him and tackling him before he could blink.

 

Sand flew up around them as they wrestled, mostly just trying to pin the other to the ground, and soon Sasuke had Naruto's waist straddled and the blonde's hand pinned up by his head. Naruto huffed, looking away childishly, making Sasuke smirk. He leaned down and kissed Naruto's cheek lightly.

 

“You don't want to go back without me?”

 

Naruto blushed the color of the pomegranates, looking pointedly at a suddenly very interesting rock about two feet away from his head, and in the complete opposite direction of Sasuke's face.

 

“Well…!” he spluttered in embarrassment. “I mean… you can't pretend nothing's happening between us!”

 

Sasuke chuckled, leaning in to kiss Naruto's cheek lightly. “And I don't want to.”
