Naruto made his rounds at the Trans Pecos backyard. Hopping from circle to circle, he lapped the club's smoking section hugging and greeting all his friends. Part of him was curious as to who showed up to this yaoi and yuri themed rave, another part of him was hopingly seeking out someone. A particular someone who had ghosted him months ago that he hasn't given up hope on rekindling with.
He sat between Rock Lee and Gaara at the bench against the building's wall. The three of them all cyclically passing around the joint Gaara had rolled. Rock Lee chiefed that shit but the others didn't mind. Naruto was not trying to get lit as soon as possible, and Gaara knew it was better to see Rock Lee high than drunk. It was also safer for everyone else that way.
Shikamaru approached the three, “Hey, can I bum a cigarette off any of you three?”
“I don't smoke cigs,” Gaara said.
“It's weed” Rock Lee coughed out.
“What a drag.” The smoker mumbled.
“Don't you usually have a full pack with you whenever you come to these kind of things?” Naruto asked him.
“I do but unfortunately I'm out of money till Friday.” His thumb repeatedly rolled the gear of his lighter, anxiously fiending to smoke the next reason for using it.
“How'd you get in here then, huh?” Naruto tilted his head.
“I got listed, obviously.” He rolled his eyes.
“Hey what gives, who listed you and didn't list me!?” Naruto jumped forward clenching his fists.
“The host over there.” Shikamaru pointed to the opposite end of the backyard.
There sat by herself on her phone, a cigarette in hand, the one Naruto was hoping to see. She sat with her legs resting over the arm of the chair she sat in, with her back and elbowed propped on the other. Naruto fawned over what she was wearing. A shiny, black, latex crop top, and fishnet gloves as well as her ripped fishnet leggings that stretched underneath her dark, denim shorts. She looked so cunty in her demonias and wicked eyeliner with the purple, glittery, eyeshadow.
“Sa-suke….?” He swallowed hard.
“Didn't you see her handle on the flyer? Anyways I think I'm gonna go dance seeing as how I can't smoke out here. I'll catch you guys inside.” Shikamaru walked off towards the door. When he swung it open the hard bass spilt out. The drum and bass playing drowned out nearby conversations for a moment before sounding muffled again.
Gaara stared at Naruto who's eyes were locked on Sasuke. A tight knot twisted in their stomach.
“I"ll be right back,” Naruto stood up.
Gaara knew that wasn't the truth and they weren't going to see Naruto for the rest of the night if he went to talk to Sasuke.
“Wait, do you want one more hit before you go?” Rock Lee held the joint up to Naruto's mouth.
“Nah, I'm good you can enjoy that.”
“Gaara?” He held it over to his silent friend.
“I'm already high enough,” they stood up, “I think I'm gonna go dance too.” They walked away with a stone faced expression. Once again the sound of the booming music briefly took over the atmosphere. And then it was muffled in a second.
Naruto's heart pounded with every step taken closer to the doll he awaited months to see. He wanted nothing more than to talk to her but he couldn't fabricate a reason to. His mind ran dry on conversation starters.
“Can-can I hit that…?” He stammered
“When did you start smoking cigarettes?” Sasuke didn't break her stare from her screen.
“Since….five…”
“Since you were five?” She raised a brow.
“Five seconds ago…” there was a moment of awkward silence between them.
Sasuke looked over at the boy sweating bullets. She held her hand towards his face.
He flinched and hesitated for a second before taking the drag from the cigarette. It took all his will to not make a repulsed face at the Newport hanging from his lips.
“Nice fit…” Sasuke commented nonchalantly.
Out of the corner of her eye she scanned his look. Orange and grey trip pants, a fishnet t-shirt, and kandi bracelets hanging from both his arms.
“Th--" He choked on the smoke trying to thank her.
She locked her phone and finally looked at him.
“So….” He handed her back her cigarette.
“So?” She took a puff.
“So what are you doing here?”
“I'm the host?” There was a bite in her tone.
“I mean I know that!”
Sasuke moved her legs off the arm of the chair and stood up, her boots making her tower over Naruto. Naruto blushed and took a step back.
Please ash that on me. The thought pushed it's way to the forefront of his mind as he watched Sasuke take her final drag from her cigarette before throwing it aside.
“I'm gonna go inside…” Sasuke took a step around the boy.
“Hey wait!” Naruto grabbed her arm.
Sasuke looked at Naruto's hand clutching her wrist.
“Can we please talk about what happened months ago?”
“I thought it was pretty obvious.” She jerked her arm out of his light grasp.
“Not to me it wasn't! Why'd you ghost me?”
“I clearly told you I couldn't commit to anything at the moment, it's not my fault you caught feelings.”
“So you treated our bond like a situationship?!” The fox boy exploded with a few heads turning towards them.
“Naruto!” Sasuke grabbed his arm and led him to the door.
She dragged him through the dark, crowded space. She held Naruto close to her as she pushed through the ravers dancing to TS_Julien's set. The music was boisterous and entrancing. In the next moment the atmosphere's intensity lightened as the door behind them shut. Sasuke took Naruto to the downstairs bathroom at the club's door area. The doorgirl Ino's eyes perked as she watched Sasuke hastily exit the main room with Naruto in hand.
“Oof.” The boy let out as he was pushed into the bathroom wall.
Sasuke locked the door behind and turned to face him.
“Now that you're not airing all that out for everyone to hear…”
“Why do you care anyways?”
“It's not anyone's business to know what's going on between us.”
“And what is going on between us?”
“Nothing.” She bit her tongue after saying that.
“Nothing? You mean all those nights we drank together, sloppily hooked up, or even spent whole days doing whatever meant absolutely nothing?” He leaned closer to Sasuke exasperated at the toying of his heartstrings.
She bit her lip. “I didn't say that.” Her brows furrowed, she clearly dug herself a hole that she didn't know how to escape.
“Then what was it Sasuke, huh? Cause I'm not some guy you can use as a vice and then throw away.”
“Naruto,” she grabbed his hip. “Will you shut up?” She pushed him back against the wall.
“Huh?” Naruto gasped, the fire in him being snuffed out by the unexpected reaction from the girl.
Sasuke pressed her lips against Naruto's. She could play the cool-headed, heartless, cunt with anyone else but she could never keep that mask with Naruto. Seeing him heated sparked something in her. Something she didn't know she missed until she saw it. She felt a void in her life since she started dodging Naruto. His presence was a fulfilling warmth no one could ever give her, but she wasn't ready to accept that. At least not until now.
“Sasuke…” Naruto's face was tinted red. His heart pounded. He felt the beat reverb through his body, everything felt heavier. It felt like a panic attack, but it wasn't fear. Passion flooded throughout his body. It was the same blood rush feeling that filled his cheeks as he got when he'd be up late thinking about all the intimate moments he shared with her.
“Look, I'm sorry I hurt you…” Sasuke avoided eye contact for a moment. “Just take this as an apology.” She kissed Naruto again, her tongue slithered into his mouth.
Naruto's eyes opened wide for a moment before softly closing. He melted into pure bliss feeling the two of their tongues dancing with each other. Her mouth tasted so sweet and so…salty? Naruto felt something roll over his tongue. His arms hung around Sasuke's neck. Her hand traced down his back and pressed his chest into hers. A gasp escaped his lips and he felt a slight smile form on her face as they kissed. Her leg hooked around him and their hips clashed. A soft moan letting out of Sasuke. Naruto felt her hardening against him and his heart started to beat harder. One hand dropped from her neck and glided down her arm. He held his palm against hers and gently interlocked their fingers. His other hand lowered much further. His hand wrapped around her bulge, feeling how hard she was. His knees felt weak at the touch and he squirmed, rubbing his thighs together. Sasuke emitted a deep, pleasured sigh. “I missed the way you felt.” She pulled back and smirk.
Naruto unbuttoned her shorts and drove his hand deeper, going past her panties. His palm sliding upward to the tip of her shaft. It twitched with every repetitive movement. The motion felt like a bolt of lightning shooting up and out of her. Sasuke held his hand tighter, pinning it against the bathroom door. Naruto's fingers curled around her member and he started rubbing her up and down with a quicker pace. Sasuke pressed herself against him and the two loudly moaned, still slightly muffled by their kiss. Her hand scratched at his chest. Fuck. She felt so insatiable. She wanted to consume every bit of Naruto in the moment.
Naruto got wet as he felt Sasuke's hot, breathy, moans on his neck. Just bite me already. He thought. This moment felt like pure euphoria. He never wanted this to end. The seconds turned into minutes. A warm blush stretched across his face. He felt like his face was melting off. He felt more reactive to Sasuke's touch. He felt as though he's never felt the touch of a woman before. Nothing could ruin this perfect moment for him. Nothing except the feeling of a heavy knocking against the back of his head from the bathroom door window.
“Some of us have to pee! Hurry up!” Sakura's voice could be heard from outside. Her knocks sounded as if she were beating down the bathroom door with her fists.
Naruto jumped forward from the bathroom door into Sasuke.
“It's fine, let's just go upstairs.” She whispered.
“Whoever's in ther- I-” Sakura's eyes widened as the door swung open.
Sasuke dashed out holding onto Naruto's hand not giving the pink haired doll a glance. Naruto followed through biting his thumb and staring at the floor as he got pulled up the stairs.
Ino covered her mouth seeing the two once again passing by her. Sasuke's lipstick smeared all over Naruto's face and neck made her giggle.
Sasuke eventually stopped in the thick of the dancefloor. Tailz was on as she could tell by Dragula playing. She looked over at Naruto who was clearly high from the mollie she slipped in his mouth. His whole body nodded left to right to the rhythm of the music bouncing around the room. He dropped his head on Sasuke's shoulder and leaned his entire body into her as he passively danced.
“Are these two fucking again?” Shikamaru watched from across the room.
“I sure hope not.” Gaara said with spite in their voice.
Shikamaru looked over at the person sitting between Gaara and him in the booth, “You doing alright Shino?”
Shino stared off silently, he fell into a k-hole. A few seconds later he raised a thumbs up.
“I think I'm going to bum a cigarette off someone.” Gaara stood up and headed towards the backyard again.
“Wait, split it with me.” Shikamaru followed, tugging Shino along with him.
Naruto had a wide smile, wide enough that made him squint hard.
“Do you need to sit down?” Sasuke asked after feeling drool leak out of his mouth and onto her shoulder. His weight felt burdensome as he started to really lean into her.
“Uh-huuuuuh…” Naruto lazily nodded.
“Let's go.” Her hand wrapped around his waist and she guided him to the the booths near the bar side of the club.
She sat him down next to her. He tangled around her arm, resting his head on her shoulder. Eyes closed and a big smile still planted on his face. She pulled a vape from her pockets and took a deep breath. A cloud formed right in front of her. Naruto grinned at the fruity smell of the vapours going up his nose. Sasuke's hand held Naruto's thigh as she watched Rock Lee hakking in front of the DJ.
“Saaaassukeeee….” Naruto rubbed his cheek against her shoulder.
“Hm?” She pulled from her vape again.
“I love youuuuu….” His arms coiled around hers, his hand scooping hers from his thigh and locking their fingers together.
“You're just high.” She said dismissively.
“It's true, I'm high AND I love you.” His grasp on her hand tightened.
Sasuke didn't say anything for a moment.
“C'mon don't do this again. Don't kiss me and then get cold on me again.”
Sasuke pulled from her vape again. She knew she was isolating herself from her feelings for Naruto. No, she couldn't do this anymore. It felt like a double-edged sword, not only was she hurting him but herself as well.
“Let's go dance,” She lifted him from the booth and to the thick of the crowd.
Naruto was a little less eager than before but followed through anyway. I guess this is all we're going to be. He thought. Just an unrequited feeling that strings him along with brief moments of intense intimacy to keep the spark alight.
Sasuke held onto Naruto as the two danced close. At least for the time being Naruto was going to make the most of feeling Sasuke for once in months. She held Naruto's chin and leaned in for a quick kiss. She pulled back and tried to mouth the words “I love you too”. It was the only way she could say it. With the volume drowning out her voice and Naruto getting what he wanted via reading her lips. It was the perfect plan, or so she thought. Naruto wasn't looking, his eyes were facing downward. Dammit.
“Naruto…” She said trying to get his attention.
Still he seemed out of it.
“Naruto!” She shouted. The sound of her voice just barely making it through the overwhelming sound.
“Huh?” Naruto snapped out of it.
“I said I love you too.” She looked directly into his eyes as she said it.
“I didn't hear you.”
“I said, love you too!” She shouted.
“You what me?” He made a confused expression.
Sasuke pointed to her lips. “I said I love you too.”
Naruto squinted. “I'm sorry, I'm too high to read lips right now.”
“God dammit!” Her hands clutched his shoulders.”
Naruto's eyes widened, what was she trying to convey?
“I said I love you!” She shouted. The music turned off as she said it. Her eyes bulging out of her socket. Never before has she heard herself say those words aloud letalone to Naruto. Now here it was, for everyone else to hear.
“Sasuke…” Naruto looked at her with astonishment.
“Fuck…” she muttered.
A smile slowly crept up on Naruto. “You mean it!?”
She bit her lip, eyes at the floor, still clutching onto him.
Others were staring, some were chuckling, some were whispering.
“Yeah, I mean it…” Sasuke mumbled.
“It's about time,” Kakashi said hanging at the bar with Guy watching the awkward situation go down.
Naruto stood silently with a stupid smile on his face.
Sasuke was racing to say something to escape the tension she felt. “Do you wanna get out of here and finish what we've started?” She stammered.
Naruto immediately couldn't wait to get home. He grabbed her wrists and started heading towards the door. His fingers hanging onto hers as he led this time. Shikamaru watched from the opposite side of the room as the two struck everyone with an Irish exit. “What no afters, man what a drag.”
“I'm good on afters too.” Gaara said gruffly before heading towards the exit too.
Rock Lee, still blazed, was continuously hakking despite the change in atmosphere.
“Another successful party,” Ino said walking in to get a shot from the bar.
Sakura entered from the backyard door. “Hey, where's Naruto and Sasuke?”
“They left.” Shikamaru picked up Sasuke's dropped vape and pulled from it.
“And they didn't say bye !?” Sakura was immediately heated.
“Sasuke whispered something into Naruto's ear and he took off with her.”
“Naruto…!” Sakura grit her teeth.
Kakashi looked over at Guy. “Afters?”
“You know it!” He pumped his fist in the air.
