How It All Started (Sequel SasuNaru Story) pt.2

Chapter 17

The remainder of the walk was short, Sasuke carrying the Hokage as if he weighed nothing. Before they made it to the front gate of the headquarters, he spoke up with the slightest bit of encouragement present in his voice. "When you're sober then you can think about what to tell Hinata. For now...don't be so rash..." He pushed through the first door to the building before commenting his last statement. "I'm not going anywhere." That being a whisper but Naruto heard, he couldn't NOT hear that. It made the grip he had around the ravens shoulders tighten, his face nuzzling into the crook of his neck out of sheer embarrassment from what he said earlier.

     Naruto breathed in, oh the sweet smell that came from him, he could kill to make this into a daily cologne option. And it wasn't like Sasuke had any extra smell on him, it was just him, his scent.

When they finally made it to the office Sasuke gently placed the intoxicated male onto the couch feeling himself almost stumble back before catching his balance and taking a deep breath. "You need to change, you've been wearing the same clothes for two days." Sasuke said as he walked over to the folded up clothes that sat on the desk that Hinata brought. She was nice to bring a night outfit as well as fresh clothes for tomorrow too. 'Even with how absent Naruto is, she still cares to be there for him.' His mind was going over the differences in him and the blue haired woman. There was a lot and one of which was something Sasuke was completely incapable of doing and that was bearing children. Neither males could do that just by themselves, so it was only expected that they found other mates to continue their heritage. But now that children have been brought into this world, what was keeping the two of them apart now. He wondered if this is what Naruto was thinking too, but that wasn't his right to be thinking that at all.

     Sasuke gathered up the sleep wear and brought it over to the blonde who had been lazily sprawled across the couch. He gave him a look of disappointment before feeling his lips curve up on both sides and small laugh came out. This small laugh quickly turned into a solid one. He was almost hysterical, catching Naruto's attention. "Hey...what's so funny?" He asked with his head hanging off the side of the couch. His vision may have been upside down but that would mean the frown he's seeing was actually a smile. This automatically made him begin to smile, even with the world spinning he couldn't miss this golden opportunity.

      The laugh frenzy that Sasuke had been put through was joined with the laughter from the blonde and sure enough the two were experiencing a rather uplifting moment together. A couple minutes seemed to pass quickly before they settled down and Sasuke sat beside the lazy blue eyed man. "Alright...come on...let's get you changed."

     Naruto grumbled under his breath before taking the hand that was held out in front of him, using it to get himself upright. He must of been oblivious to their close proximity because the only person feeling a bit heated in the face was the Uchiha, and even he was a little surprised from his nerves. Figuring the reason behind that was due to his recent idea trip that Naruto may have felt something towards him, truthfully. He had to push that aside and assist with helping said such blonde. He reached in closer, their heads almost bunking together, grabbing the brim of the blondes shirt, slowly pulling it up.

     The heat in Sasuke's face maintained at a leveled temp, but Naruto had began feeling it as well once his upper half was exposed. Just as the cloth made breakaway from his head his eyes met the onyx ones looking back. He finally realized just how close they were and his face lit up. Nervously he cleared his throat, and for just a split second he saw the raven glance at his lips, making him subconsciously pulling them in and wetting them before shifting his gaze. This was just as hard for the Uzumaki as it was for the Uchiha. Both of them had different reasons for it but nonetheless it was just the same.

Even with those blue eyes looking away he could feel the those obsidian ones drilling holes into his exposed body, looking through him rather than at. Silence once again filled the room and Naruto couldn't think of anything to say. Instead of making headway he followed through with sliding his arms through the bottom of the night shirt and letting Sasuke pull it down, his head popping through the big hole of the cloth. The next part only made his stomach drop, he knew his pants had to come off but he was no where near able to do that himself, if he stands up right now he's done for. Sasuke hesitated on moving because ideally this wasn't the part he considered helping with in fact he'd rather not, but Naruto wasn't moving, he just looked at him as if waiting for him to make the initial move, so he did, he moved forward his hands reaching for the button of the blondes pants, making that whiskered face shine bright like a sore thumb.

This was so beyond awkward and anyone on the outside who could see this would feel the second hand embarrassment. Just as the raven reached in Naruto leaned back, making it easier for the button to be undone and letting Sasuke pull them off. "Dobe." Was the only thing the Uchiha could think of saying to break that awkward silence up, just as he was pulling them down and off leaving Naruto in his boxers and night shirt. It only seemed to get more awkward as he sat there unclothed.

Folding up the pants, Sasuke stood up and took what articles of clothing he had and placed them on the desk before returning to the male who was engulfed into the couch. He hadn't even gotten his sleep pants on before laying down and making himself comfortable. "I d-don't need the pants." Naruto said with an uneven tone, just trying to end the embarrassment. "Hn." Sasuke couldn't think of anything to say and quite frankly he'd probably say something that would only embarrass both of them. He took this opportunity to grab them both some water from the mini fridge, handing the blonde one in hopes he'll drink it, and simultaneously drinking his own before setting it down. "I think you need to drink some of that before going to sleep." He didn't wait for a response and instead took off his cloak and began folding it up.

It seemed he didn't have to push to hard to get the blonde to drink some fluids because the Hokage did in fact drink some by leaning up on his elbow, but the water didn't keep him from watching Sasuke and his every move. With it folded up he placed it on the floor beside the couch and sat down on the floor. "W-What're you doing?" Hesitantly Naruto asked placing his water down beside him. Sasuke didn't respond though until he laid down and placed his head on the folded up piece of clothing he used to make as a pillow. Once somewhat relaxed he glanced over at those blue lens and responded. "Going to sleep, you should too Dobe...you're gonna have a hang over."

Naruto slouched back down on the couch, adjusting his body so that he was laying down comfortable again, even though he was glad to be going to sleep he started to feel guilty for the raven to be sleeping on the floor, he didn't last night so why tonight? Besides he'd rather him be close to him, he found it easier to sleep that way, he felt safe and relaxed. "T-Teme?" At this point Sasuke had an arm under his head and his eyes closed, but when he heard that sweet little nickname he glanced back over again at the blonde who hadn't seen to stop looking at him. "Hn?"

"Wouldn't...you rather sleep up here?" Both eyes stayed locked for what felt like hours, but really was just a few seconds before Sasuke chose the most responsible decision, of course he wanted to sleep with him, for more than one reason, but they're both drunk and Naruto had just claimed a love for the raven that was more than likely a drunken mistake, and not to mention they kissed this morning, so it was only reasonable to let the smarter of the two adults make the decision and sleep on the floor. But man was it hard for him to have to say no.

     "No."
