The ride home was oddly quiet again. For some reason Naruto was too embarrassed to speak to Sasuke after what happened. To make matters worse, Sasuke had that haughty smirk on his face. Surely he was pleased that he managed to get Naruto in a way no one ever had him before. Despite this, Sasuke still had his main goal to achieve: taking Naruto's virginity. That was if Itachi had been lying and in fact left it untouched. Before long, they arrived home and Sasuke got out of the car to let Naruto out. "I expect you to be ready at seven sharp. You can't begin your first day at work being late" Sasuke warned Naruto skeptically.

Naruto flushed as he stepped out of the car and nodded. Though truly he doubted he would be able to even catch an ounce of sleep after what Sasuke did to him but he could try after a nice warm bowl of ramen. That always seemed to put him out for a couple of hours. "I'll try to be ready by then...see you Sasuke" Naruto mentioned before walking to his apartment. As soon as he closed the door he couldn't help but slam his fist against the door. "Crap...this makes me his bitch doesn't it" Naruto groaned in disappointment. He couldn't believe he allowed himself to be so easily controlled by that jerk. But he had to admit, Sasuke was experienced and hell he was great at what he did. Now if only he could keep his pride intact while subtly making advances on Sasuke. One could only hope Sasuke would let Naruto dominate sometimes. The blond was always a determined little bugger who refused to be the guck beneath someone shoes and that included playing Sasuke's submissive plaything. One only knew what tomorrow could hold.

Meanwhile Sasuke had arrived at his own home in little under thirty minutes. He came in through the front door, looking rather refreshed despite the fact he was covered in a bit of sweat and essence of Naruto on him that he cleaned off just moments ago. He was simply going to head upstairs but couldn't help but notice the light in the living room on. Usually he was the only one who was around to go in that room and he was at the party all night so he thought it was a bit odd. When he walked over he saw Itachi there speaking to some man with short silver hair and a stern expression. It was rare for Itachi to have guest over, Sasuke noted so he didn't want to intrude. He simply headed on upstairs to his room while Itachi spoke.

"Forgive me Mizuki-san if I haven't been answering your calls lately. I've been quite busy with business and personal affairs" Itachi mentioned dully. He truly did hate holding a conversation with a target. He was given the assignment to take out this greedy embezzler in less than two days. Which meant he had to have this man out of the picture by tomorrow night. Personally he would have had this job completed tonight but seeing as how he hated cleaning messes in his own home he reframed from attacking. Besides it would not be wise to have this be the last place his victim was scene, making everyone suspicious. Perhaps he show suggest an outing tomorrow. But before Itachi could make any request, the man spoke back.

"Itachi, have you been to the opera recently? There will be a great performance tomorrow night. Usually I don't attend thanks to my schedule but I have a few tickets donated to me. I was hoping we could get reacquainted tomorrow after the opera. Think of it as a double date. I will bring my date if you bring yours" he chuckled.

Itachi frowned. He was inwardly pleased with the opportunity to take Mizuki out at the opera but having another witness like a date would only make things more difficult. "I'm afraid I don't have-"

"Surely Itachi you have a lovely date to take around with you. A good looking, successful man like yourself" Mizuki mention.

Itachi sighed and thought briefly. "Now that you mention it...there is someone I have in mind..."

"Great, it's a double date. Meet me at the opera house at eight" Mizuki informed before letting Itachi escort him to the door.

This was it! The day Naruto had been waiting for since he was younger. The blonde swallowed deeply as he stepped forward into the building. Sasuke followed after him, merely shaking his head. He thought Naruto was making a big deal out of nothing. It was only work. It wasn't like anyone would see the results of his photo shoots on his first day anyway so the nervousness was pointless. None the less, Sasuke was going to try his best to be supportive as he lead Naruto to the main shooting room. Oroachimaru was speaking to Kabuto when they came in. He directed his attention instantly to Naruto. "Great, you're here early. Let's get you into hair and make-up. Naruto your first photo will be a cologne ad for Hokage Magazine. They are doing a spread using only new models and I suggested you, so try not to make a fool of yourself" Orochimaru suggested before shoving Naruto toward the back rooms. "Sasuke, I need you in shooting room two for your shoot."

Naruto nodded and hurried off to the hair and make up. He didn't think it would take very to get ready since he was a guy and didn't require much glamour. But wow was he wrong.

When Naruto stepped onto set he was a little surprised by how many eyes he managed to captivate. The theme for the shoot had been an set up for an aquatic smelling cologne, so Naruto came out of hair and make up looking much like a merman. He was forced to wear a glimmering blue, fake fin over his legs. His body was shining with light blue body glitter and he was even made up with blue mascara and blush. All in all, he was downright breathtaking. Naruto wobbled onto the ocean floor scene set and mounded himself on a large, plastic boulder for balance. Personally Naruto thought he looked absolutely ridiculous, but everyone else seemed to think differently.

"Alright Naruto, I need you to relax and just give me a few natural shots" the photographer said.

Naruto panicked briefly and thought over what he should do. He didn't have much reference of how mermaids or mermen looked when posing. He vaguely recalled the movie 'The Little Mermaid' he had seen once as a child. With a nervous sigh, Naruto propped himself up on the rock with his hands so his back arched to dip in. A few of the staff standing by to watch the shoot, couldn't help snickering at the scene. Naruto gave them a few more commercial poses before the photographer intervened and gave the blond real direction. So much for Naruto's natural talent everyone had been bragging about before this. Or perhaps he just didn't have his sea legs on.

At some point Sasuke finished up his own assignment and snuck onto Naruto's set to see how the blond was holding up. He did well to hide his surprise when he noticed Naruto in the merman get up. He had to admit...Naruto made one hell of a sexy merman. His eyes shamelessly roamed over the tight imitation fin that clung to his lover's body desperately. Sasuke could tell all too well that Naruto was naked under there. And the blue contrasting with Naruto's eyes was just stunning. Before he realized it the photographer was saying "that's a wrap" and letting Naruto off set.

Naruto took one look up and blushed when he noticed Sasuke had been there watching him for some time. Crap, now he saw just how pathetic he was as a model. He carefully hopped over to Sasuke, though nearly tripped when he was close to the Uchiha. Sasuke rushed forward, catching Naruto in his arms before he could fall. He smiled self-righteously. "I always had a feeling you weren't a land-lover" Sasuke teased. Without much warning, Sasuke scooped Naruto up into his arms much like any human would when picking up a mer-person.

"H-hey! What do you think you're doing?!" Naruto fussed, trying to climb out of Sasuke's arms. This was embarrassing! Who was going to take him seriously if they saw this?

Sasuke just kept a firm hold on Naruto. "Well I'm taking my underwater treasure back to my dressing room of course...so I can unwrap it" Sasuke marked, already heading down the hall. He smirked seeing the hint of red come to Naruto's cheeks. "But I must say...you really do look amazing Naruto" Sasuke confessed.

Naruto hesitated before speaking. He just had trouble believe Sasuke just complimented him without adding some smart remark. "Uh...thanks...but didn't you see the shoot? I was terrible up there" Naruto mentioned as a matter of fatly.

"Oh that...everyone messes up their first day. It just shows there is always room for improvement" Sasuke mentioned as he lightly nudged his dressing room door open with his foot. Naruto was still awestruck that Sasuke was being so nice to him now. What had changed? Was it because he let Sasuke woe him last night?

"Naruto...I’ve been meaning to talk to you about something" Sasuke finally replied as he set Naruto down on his couch.

"Ah Ha! I knew it! There had to be some reason you were being so nice to me!" Naruto declared so boldly, pointing at Sasuke in the face. "So what is it teme? You want me to pretend like last night never happened or something?!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes and just whacked Naruto on the head, hearing the blond yelp a bit. "No you idiot. I wanted to ask you to be my boyfriend" Sasuke growled out in annoyance. Could Naruto really be all that dense? How the hell did this guy make it through like being so oblivious?

Naruto was speechless for a second. "Y-you, what-?"

Sasuke sighed and kneeled down beside Naruto almost as if proposing. "I don't want you to think you are just another one night fling of mine. You're more to me than that. I'm not use to the whole labeling thing, but I though it would be so bad for me and you to you know...date" Sasuke mentioned uneasily.

Naruto could barely believe his ears. He didn't even know how to feel flattered by this since he never even saw it as a possibility. "...Uh sure I guess..." Naruto murmured. He suddenly sat up straight. "But you can't be a jerk to me at all! If you piss me off once I'll kick you to the curve!" Naruto demanded with a hard glare. He wanted to at least say he wore the pants in this relationship.

Sasuke paused and quickly brought up a hand to muffle his laughter. "Y-yeah, sure. I can agree to that I guess..." He stood up and moved in closer to Naruto. "But in return...you have to agree to give it up to me any time or place I want" Sasuke announced with a devilish grin. Naruto flushed instantly at that. Crap, it was get sexed out or deal with bitchy Sasuke. Which seemed better?

"...Fine" Naruto gave in, crossing his arms. He just knew he would regret this later.

Sasuke grinned and moved into capture Naruto's lips in a heated kiss. Naruto was caught off guard and barely had time to breath before Sasuke had him pressed against the couch. Sasuke ravaged the blond instantly and without restraint. It was overwhelming and Naruto nearly had to push Sasuke off the couch to break the kiss. "Hey you bastard, I didn't mean right now! Could you at least wait until I get out of this thing?!" Naruto complained before letting out a small pant. His cheeks were flushed already and he feared Sasuke would have gone through with it if he hadn't intervened.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Whatever, only this once will I listen to you. Let's say...after work today. You'll be all mine" Sasuke gloated proudly. Naruto reluctantly nodded before scooting a bit off the couch.

"Now can you help me to my dressing room?"

The rest of the day had been oddly successful for Naruto. He had only one more minor potshot to do so he could establish a portfolio for Orochimaru and then the remainder of work had been a dance class that Orochimaru signed him up for to improve his modeling. Naruto was just packing up his belonging in his dressing room when the secrete ray from the lobby suddenly came in.

"Mr. Uzumaki, you have a call on line one" She replied before rushing back to get to her desk.

Naruto looked at the one in his room curiously. Who would call him at work. He didn't think he had given Kakashi or Iruka the number to his job yet. In fact...he had forgotten to tell them about him getting the job all together. Well now that was on thing he had to do when he got home. He picked up the phone finally. "Hello?"

"Good afternoon Naruto."

Naruto's eyes widened. "Oh h-hi Itachi. I didn't think you would call me at work...or ever" he muttered more to himself. "To what do I owe the honor?"

Itachi smirked a bit. "I was wondering if you had tonight free?"

"Uh actually...I have-"

"I need you to come out with me tonight" Itachi insisted, not even waiting for Naruto to turn him down.

"W-what?! Wait Itachi, I-"

"I've been asked out on a business occasion and must bring along a companion. Unfortunately there is no one I have in mind on such a short notice" Itachi persistence. And there was also the fact...he had no real friends to ask for this sort of thing.

Naruto frowned a bit. But he promised Sasuke he would be with him tonight... "I'm sorry Itachi, I really can't" Naruto confessed.

Itachi sneered at the objection. "I'm afraid I can't take no for an answer Naruto. Besides...I do believe you owe me for the other night..." Itachi mentioned.

Naruto reddened recalling how he soiled Itachi’s robe, ruined his guest meeting and had Itachi cover for him with Sasuke when he ended up staying the night in his room. Perhaps..."Alright...I'll do it. Just promise me you won't say a word to Sasuke..."
