The runway practice continued on for an hour more. But honestly all of Sasuke's strict critiquing was only making Naruto irritable and self-conscious. He didn't believe Sasuke could possibly be any more of an ass, but as always the other had to prove him wrong. Even after Naruto had managed to complete what Sasuke's considered a substantial walk, they moved on to presence. Sasuke assured the blond that his whole aura was slightly disrespectful and untraditional for models. He needed to at least look like he was a professional when he walked in the room, not like some gawking tourist. And even from there Sasuke had lectured Naruto long and hard on all the key points of a successful photo shoot and interview.

By night time, Naruto was exhausted out of his mind, or rather bored and annoyed beyond belief. "I hate cramming. I better not have to do this again." Naruto grumbled as he slowly marched up the stairs with Sasuke proudly leading the way.

"You are in no position to complain dobe. You're the one who slacked off and fool around all this time. You knew you review would be tomorrow, so you reap what you sow" Sasuke pointed out smugly. "I've taught you all I could in one day; we will just have to hope it's enough to get you through on Orochimaru's standards."

Naruto groaned at the thought of being rejected a second time. He was sure he couldn't continuously try out for the same agency, but this was the best one there was. He couldn't afford to find another sponsor and make it through with the same publicity. As he made it up the stairs he eagerly headed for the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower."

Sasuke showed little concern for the announcement. "Fine. And since it's already late, why don't you stay here tonight? It takes less time to get to the agency from here and I could probably wake you up early enough to cram in another lesson" Sasuke suggested. He couldn't quite place the reason why he was so eager to educate Naruto. He had never been this careful before when tutoring someone. He didn't think he would want the blond to make it through so badly. Sure Naruto was pretty strange, but he was oddly an interesting person that was perhaps fun to be around on a normal basis. And he was still convinced Naruto was hot as hell and he would love to go a round with him. Then again if he did get accepted, Orochimaru would forbid him from laying a hand on the rowdy trainee. So could he really wish for Naruto's failure just for his own personal gain?

Sasuke retreated back to his room, sighing as he lay down. Naruto's presence made him reflect too much for his taste. He never liked second-guessing himself. He rolled onto his side and stared dismally at the wall. Even now he was conflicting with himself to go peek on the blond while he was in the shower or act as a proper host and stay where he was. This was going to be a long night...

"Sasuke?"

The raven haired male quickly lifted his head just a bit to peer at the doorway. In moments his face was lighted with a tint of pink. He cursed the natural attraction men had for sleek, wet forms. Of course Naruto 'had' to be wet after a shower. Beads of water dripped from his hair to the nape of his neck. And all the more intriguing was how he wore Itachi's monogrammed robe and had it tied lightly at the waist and slipping form his shoulders. Now that Sasuke had the time to let the scene stink in, it occurred to him... "Why are you wearing Itachi's robe?" He asked with a truly dull tone.

"It was only thing around. I forgot to set out a towel" he chuckled, scratching his cheeks simply. "It's really comfy though, hope he doesn't mind."

Sasuke rolled his eyes at the statement. It was Itachi-of course he would mind. He looked skeptically at the blonde. He seemed too friendly with Itachi none the less. Sasuke was sure Itachi had no other friend than Kisame and he certainly didn't have a girlfriend, much less a boyfriend if he recalled correctly. "Hmm...Naruto....what are you to my brother?" Sasuke couldn't help but ask. He had taken great notice to the fact that Naruto actually looked hurt when Itachi took his leave during their practice. Even if they held no real bonds, it was possible Naruto could have a thing for Itachi, though is was unlikely.

Naruto could only stare quizzically at Sasuke as the other was quiet. "Well...nothing I guess. He told me he would look forward to my success, that’s all." Naruto replied walking over to the bed. Then it suddenly came to him. "But...I keep getting this feeling that we kissed before..."

Sasuke was appalled by the statement, even more so by the blush on Naruto’s tan cheeks. "You're not sure?!" Sasuke lashed out in aggravation.

Naruto shrugged casually. "Well it may have happened after we got out of the club, that night is still a little fuzzy."

Sasuke felt sick to his stomach. So Itachi took Naruto to a club? That had to mean he was at least interested in Naruto, right? How could this have happened? How was it possible for Itachi to get farther with Naruto than even he had managed to get, having known the guy longer?! It was an abomination! "And you're okay with that?" Sasuke questioned eagerly. He had to know if Naruto really had the hots for his brother or not.

Naruto was quite for a moment longer, simply looking at Sasuke as though he had suddenly developed a boil on his forehead. "If I was or was not, it wouldn't matter anymore, would it? I don't even think he remembers it. He has said a thing about it if it did happen." Naruto pointed out.

Sasuke sighed lightly in relief. Well it didn't sound like the case could be all that true. "So you really wouldn't mind being kissed by a guy?" Sasuke questioned then. "Would you be all that calm if it had been me that kissed you?" He asked, trying to sound hypothetical to save himself from humiliation if Naruto decided he hated guys that way.

Naruto was silent once more, simply staring at Sasuke with a questionable eye. The tension was making Sasuke terribly uneasy. He was sure Naruto would response in a negative way if he had to think this long about it. Then suddenly a fox-ish grin spread across the blonde's face. Sasuke shivered at the scene, feeling the error of his ways come upon him in seconds. "Are you trying to tell me you wanted to kiss me first teme?" Naruto asked in a sneaky voice, as he leaned a bit closer. Sasuke felt a stab in the back from that tone. Oh so Naruto felt superior for having discovered this? Then again it would be against Sasuke if the blonde should try to blackmail him with such information.

Sasuke growled and scooted back. "Don't be so full of yourself dobe. As if I would ever want to kiss a guppy like you. I was only asking to find out if I was working with a fairy over here or not." Sasuke grumbled, crossing his arms in a defiant way.

Naruto snickered. "Oh yeah, well maybe you want to know if I'm into guys to find out if you have a shot with me, right?" Naruto continued. He smirked all the more when he noticed the slight pink flow into Sasuke's pale skin. So he was right. Sasuke was hitting on him! He sat back and gave a small sigh, obviously playing. "Well I was willing to find out for myself the answer to your question, but now I'm not so sure..." Naruto mumbled innocently.

Sasuke growled instantly, turning toward Naruto and grabbing him by the shoulders. "Don't play with me dobe. You want me to kiss you or not? You better be damn sure right now otherwise I'll just do as I please." Sasuke threatened.

Naruto arched up a single brow. "Oh really? Then prove it." Naruto urged with a straight face.

Sasuke huffed under his breath. Naruto was some stubborn guy. "Fine." He jerked Naruto closer by his shoulders, starting intently into his eyes with unease. Usually he was never in a situation where he had to make the moves. Girls and guys at that flocked to him naturally and he rarely had to ask for some action; but of course Naruto would be the exception. For some bizarre reason Sasuke felt his hands get all clammy and his thoughts more flustered as he held Naruto in such proximity of him. Finally he released a sigh and released Naruto.

The blond had a sudden smug look on his face. "Ha, told you! You can't-"

No sooner had Naruto's guard been down, Sasuke viciously grabbed the Blondie back by the head, pulling him into a fierce and forceful kiss. Naruto's eyes were so wide they looked as if they were about to pop out of his head. That bastard had tricked him!

Naruto childishly tried to push Sasuke away but the stronger male slipped the other arm around Naruto's arm and to his back, only drawing the boy closer to him. Struggle as Naruto might, he couldn't stop the pulsing of his heart and the eagerness of his body to lie against Sasuke's body willingly. In mere seconds he had given in thanks to the tiny devil on his shoulder giving a victory dance. His eyes slowly closed and his grip on Sasuke's shirt loosened.

Sasuke inwardly smirked at this since he obviously had the upper hand for good. He let his fingers run gently through Naruto's wild locks as he tempted to part the male's lips with his tongue. It was surprising the mouth opened to him so easily. Perhaps the blond truly could not deny his charms.

Unfortunately, Sasuke thought too highly of himself. And as soon as his tongue slipped into the crevices of Naruto's mouth, he felt the unbearable pain of furious teeth clamping down on him. Sasuke jerked back instantly in a raged shock. "Wah ta hwew?! Yw bit meh!" Sasuke hollered; his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

Naruto gave the Uchiha a gruesome glare. "That's right you sneaky prick! How do you like you own game?!" Naruto retorted. He jumped off the bed, obviously satisfied with his payback. "Next time you try to make a move on me without consent I'll bite more than your tongue."

Sasuke gave a skeptical look at this reply. "Ow, weally? I'd wike two see that." he mentioned with a growing smirk.

Naruto throw his hands up into the air in exasperation before collapsing down on the makeshift bed Sasuke had made for him for that night. "You are impossible! Forget it you pervert!" Naruto grumbled. He pulled the covers above his head and over his body.

Sasuke lightly chuckled. This was actually going to be fun. The pain in his tongue had subsided by the time he had changed into his pajamas. "Good night Naruto..." he whispered with a snicker before flipping off the lights. He slipped into bed and gave a small sigh. It was already late, but he was still curious as to when Itachi would be coming home tonight.

Naruto only gave him a vicious huff before pulling his blankets clear over his head. "Night teme" he grumbled. It was late into the night before long. While Sasuke slept soundly, Naruto wasn't exactly at 'peace'.

Sasuke smirked up at the royal blue eyes and shook with nervousness in front of him. "Don't tell me you changed your mind already" he chuckled. Gently he moved a hand and traced his fingertips across the swollen member. Moving that hand away, he guided Naruto a few steps backward so that the kitchen counter was behind him for support. Naruto coyly let himself be guided to the counter as he watched in fascination before him.

Sasuke kneeled down in front of the uneasy blond. Leaning closer, he kissed the tip before running his tongue all across the underside of Naruto. Sasuke licked up the length back to the tip and began to lick at it. Moments later his mouth was surrounding it by an inch or so, slowly sucking it into his mouth. His eyes closed quickly and he gripped the edge of the counter when he could feel the wet appendage running along the most sensitive part of him. His skin was tingling with heat and Sasuke's actions were only making things more constricting. He couldn't help but let out a sheepish moan when the other took him into his mouth fully. His head was quickly spinning.

Sasuke had been staring at Naruto's member, watching what he was doing, but now he took a moment to glance up at his lovers' face to see his reaction to his ministrations. Such a graceful blush was on his tan cheeks. It made Sasuke’s heart race and his body become extremely warm. He placed his attention back to what he was doing with his mouth.He was slowly taking in as much of Naruto as he possible could. Nearly all of Naruto was in Sasuke's mouth when he began to slowly suck on the member. He was savoring the taste of his lover as well as ravishing his body with his shameless touch.

Two hands roamed all over Naruto's body. Feeling ever muscle, ever curve, ever bit of skin he could reach. A hand found one of Naruto's nipples and playfully squeezed. Seconds later he began to play with it by flicking his finger across it. Then followed by rubbing it in between two of his fingers. Naruto had trouble standing still when Sasuke was treating him like this. His blood was boiling and his mind spinning with pleasure. He couldn't restrain himself from thrusting his hips toward Sasuke to further the bliss. It was a pleasant surprise when Sasuke felt Naruto move his hips; it took only seconds to adjust to the new movement. He took more of his lover into his mouth, sucking harder on him. Naruto's eyes closed tightly and he gripped onto the other's shoulders as the man toyed with his hardening nipples. He would lose himself any moment now. "S-sasuke..." the blond gasped out in a raspy voice. Sasuke slid the hand that wasn't pinching a nipple around Naruto's waist for support. Hearing his lover rasp out his name drove him crazy.

Naruto couldn't contain himself any longer. With a feeble cry he came quickly into Sasuke's mouth and his raven haired lover drank up all he had to offer quite eagerly...

Naruto groaned roughly as he rubbed his matted hair. He had been yanked from his sleep by an odd feeling. He sat up briefly, trying to recollect his composition. He merely reached down to scratch his stomach when his eyes suddenly widened. It wasn't the most pleasant thing to stumble across. He looked down nervously and gawked in surprise at that moisture collected on him. "Shit!" his hissed briefly under his breath. He quickly rushed up and ran into the bathroom. This had to be the most embarrassing thing he had ever done, especially in Sasuke's own house. Who the hell had a wet dream about the person you were sharing a room with?! To make matters worse, in Itachi's robe no doubt. He was sure Itachi wouldn't be the least bit happy to find his clothes soiled.

Naruto stripped out of the rob instantly and turned on the shower. He didn't want to leave a trance of this. He took a short ten minutes shower and was out drying himself off in no time. Wrapping a towel around him, he emerged from the bathroom. Now his only problem was cleaning the evidence before Itachi could see. He jolted down the hall, assuming the washroom would be downstairs. But as soon as he reached the foot of the stairs he heard the unmistakable sound of a door opening. He turned pale immediately upon seeing that it was in fact the front door. His blood was running cold when he saw familiar black hair appear from behind the door. Then another thought came to mind...Why the hell was Itachi out to four in the morning anyway?!

Naruto quickly hid behind the wall to the hallway when Itachi stepped inside. To his surprise he wasn't alone. Some old business guy it looked like was with him. The man was laughing amusingly.

"How kind of you to allow me in at such a time of night Itachi" he replied.

Itachi didn't look happy in the least. In fact he seemed very annoyed. Itachi was briefly thinking of how annoying the man was; after all he had not given him a chance to even choose to invite him in. This was all business. "Come this way Muraki. Can I interest you in a drink?" Itachi offered, trying to lead the man into the bar. He never favored bringing his victims to his house. But the night had not worked out like he had planned. Now he was forced to take drastic measures. Perhaps a simple untraceable poison would do for this guy.

"Sure, I'll take a scotch on the rocks" he replied, following Itachi to the mini bar.

Naruto sighed softly. Maybe this was his chance. Throw the robe in the washing machine and get the hell out of here before Itachi noticed. Yeah, that would work great! He rushed down the stairs as quickly and quietly as he could; which wasn't all that quiet might I mind you. His only trouble would be passing the bar without being seen since its entrance was along the way to the washing room. He stood against the wall, silently peering inside to make sure Itachi wouldn't see him rush by.

Luckily Itachi had his back turned to the guest and him as he prepared the drinks. Itachi likely smirked as the man talked on in on about making a merger with his company. Like hell he would even consider it. The man was blackmailing his company into this. He had to be eliminated. Itachi slyly took out a small capsule from the cuff of his dress shirt and dropped it into the other's drink. He watched it bubble for only a second before turning around to hand it to his guest. He raised his own glass for a celebratory toast for his agreement with the idea, but stopped when he noticed a mane of blond hair poking out from the door frame. "Naruto?" he spoke unsurely.

Muraki turned as well and noticed the unexpected visitor as well. Naruto stiffened, knowing he could not walk away from this one. He pulled his head out fully, giving a cheeky smile. "H-hi Itachi. I-I didn't know you were up..." he chuckled nervously.

Itachi glowered at this. He didn't need any witness walking around. "Go back to bed Naruto. This is business" he told the boy firmly.

"Oh, uh...sure-"

"Come now Itachi; don't be so hard on the kid. Let him join us. The more the merrier as I always say" Muraki insisted.

Naruto blushed deeply. Oh great, now he had to stay?! He noticed Itachi looked pissed about this whole thing, but could he reject a guest of Itachi's. He quickly dropped the robe against the wall so they would not see. "But...well..." Naruto coyly stood out from the wall to reveal he was still only covered by a towel around his waist. He didn't take notice to the sudden hungry glint in the other man's eyes. He was more fearful of Itachi's burning glare. Apparently it wasn't good to look such a way in front of business companions.

Muraki chuckled. "Midnight showers, huff, well to each their own. I bet a mighty nice drink would go good with that" he replied, holding up his drink to Naruto. "Come on have a sip."

Itachi's eyes widened. "No" he said firmly, making Naruto jump in uneasiness. "He's not allowed to drink. You should go to bed now Naruto." Itachi demanded, his voice holding a hint of death in it.

Muraki looked back to Itachi with surprise. "Why so cold Itachi? You know you'll never get a guy that way" Muraki pointed out, very aware of the fact Itachi preferred males to females. He turned back to Naruto, giving him a sly wink. "Don't mind him. It doesn't bother me in the least to have another person join us. Come, have yourself a drink" he offered again.

Itachi had lost his cool that moment. He set his drink down and stomped over. He jerked Naruto by the forearm and pulled him away from the room. He slammed Naruto up against the wall by the stairs and pinned him there. "When I tell you to do something, you do it" Itachi hissed. "I won’t have you interfering in my business, understood?" he clarified with smoldering red eyes. Naruto gulped and eagerly nodded. "Now get your ass back upstairs" Itachi growled, releasing Naruto. As angry as he was he had been a bit fearful himself. He didn't think it would be easy to hide the death of Naruto. And he had no intention of killing him in the first place.

Naruto nervously glanced back at the robe lying on the floor a few feet from him. Great, how was he going to get it now? Itachi noticed the other's eyes looking away from him. He turned around to see and noticed his monogrammed bathrobe lying on the floor. What the hell? Naruto gulped once more and was back up the stairs before Itachi had walked back to pick it up. Itachi’s grabbed it off the floor and noticed something very peculiar about it. He didn't exactly look angry...but the expression wasn't all that happy either. "Naruto..." Itachi mumbled lowly.
