Stacks: This is a term used to refer to the rows of bookshelves at a library. Please let me know if I need to clear any other terms/references for you. Or if you need me to explain how I'm approaching any of the A/B/O dynamics, though I'm hoping the story will lay it out itself.

Rating: M (Explicit): If you're new around here you should know we take explicit very seriously here🤭but I'm thinking we need to build some tension first ;) 

Disclaimer: They are not mine ok? Any characters portrayed in this fic belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I just use my writing powers to right his wrongs...mainly the fact that he never made Sasuke and Naru Canon.

Falling Hard

Chapter 1: Intersection

The first time he saw him was somewhere around campus sometime during his freshman year. It was shocking really just looking at him. With the dark, dark hair and equally dark eyes--pitch black really, so much so that he was sure he could lose himself if he stared for too long. He was tall and all lean well-formed muscle, with a wicked smile that stirred his insides like he’d put them in a blender. 

He had scolded himself back then, he didn’t need to feel butterflies, or like his insides were being liquefied. Sasuke Uchiha smelled like alpha, like rain and fresh trees. It was his omega, making him feel like he needed to try and climb the Uchiha and that’s not who he was, he wanted to believe he was better than his base needs. He had been looking for romance, he wanted someone to look at all of him, not just an omega, not just a hole to fuck, but him Naruto Uzumaki.

It’s the reason he always wore scent blockers and was careful about his heats and where he spent them, despite hating himself mid-heat when he was just raw with need and would welcome anyone that would make it better. As his first year went by he took a gender relations class that helped him feel a little less helpless about his omega side...still…he always noticed the change in attitude from others when he skipped on the blockers. It kind of hurt his self-esteem and after multiple failed attempts at entering relationships, he’d just kind of given up on love. 

Now he was in his third year of college, swamped with essays and short stories, and Sasuke Uchiha was a distant thought in his head. Well, he would remember the few times here and there he’d spotted him around campus…or groping someone at a party. Well, maybe it was a bit of a fantasy still, but definitely a controlled fantasy. 

Not like he ran into the raven frequently, his friends would drag him to parties here and there, but mostly he went from his classes to his part-time job, to his apartment where he’d snuggle up on the couch and find something to watch on Netflix so he could procrastinate and then proceed freak out about his assignments being due. 

He’d been working part-time at the library for a little more than a year, and this was the best part-time job he’d ever had. His supervisor Kakashi was ridiculously laid off, and at this point had Naruto do all the work while he scampered off to his office to read his gaudy porn books. 

Naruto smiled to himself as he suppressed a laugh, he wished he was brave enough to read his own books in public–maybe if he got a book cover, would that be suspicious? In any case, Naruto didn’t mind doing all the work, he found the routine soothing. 

He pushed the little cart with the returned books to the correct area of the library and grabbed as many as he could piling them on his arms and going down the aisle. However, he stopped dead in his tracks as the deeply sweet scent hit his nose, followed by a wave of thunderous alpha pheromones. 

His cheeks were red in seconds. 

What the—seriously in the library? He pressed his thighs together, taking a deep breath and regretting it quite instantly as he inhaled more of the addicting smell. He didn’t even know he was walking, following the scents, books still towering over his arms. He knew that smell…he rounded to the next aisle of stacks and stopped, barely holding in a gasp. 

There he was, the object of his fantasies Sasuke Uchiha, pressing this pretty little brunette omega thing against the book stacks, his hand on her neck lifting her face as he sucked her lower lip, and his right hand moving under her skirt. Judging by how she was swirling her hips…

He was fingering her. 

For the love of—he was fingerbanging her on the fucking library, and neither of them had bothered to at least wear scent blockers. 

He barely had time to bite his lip to stop his surprised gasp or even worse a little keen of his own from making its way out as aroused alpha pheromones swarmed his head. Then to make it all worse the raven’s eyes opened as he unlatched from the girls lips to look at his work—however he ended up catching Naruto’s blue eyes instead. 

He smirked.

Naruto took a step back and rushed out of the stacks, hastily putting the books back on the cart and rushing over to the library restrooms. He slammed the door to the stall and sat on the toilet completely flushed and his hands pressed down against this hard-on. 

He wasn’t going to jerk off, he wasn’t. 

He dropped his face on his hands, rubbing it harshly as he tried breathing through his mouth, the strong alpha pheromones burned in his nose. 

“Fuck, fuck, get a hold of yourself” He muttered, chastising his omega shoving it deep inside, and walking out of the stall. He splashed some water on his overheated face and made his way back out to the front desk. Willing himself not to go back to see if the raven and the pretty omega girl were still going at it…would he…he wouldn’t actually…go all the way, right? Not in the fucking library. 

He thumped his head against the desk.

How was he supposed to just forget the smell? 

A giggle had him looking back up and for the second time that day he locked gazes with Sasuke, you’d think his eyes would be centered on the giggling brunette that was dragging him out of the library. 

Oh no, he looked him straight in the eyes and threw another smirk his way. 

The library used to be his favorite place. 

Until he started picking on Sasuke’s alpha scent all over.

What would be his regular rainy smell devolved into thunder and storm when the raven was turned on, it was a very distinct smell and there was no way Naruto was mistaking it. It wasn’t that the Library had suddenly become all alpha's new favorite hook-up spot, it was only Sasuke’s new favorite spot. 

One month, that’s how long it had been since the first time he caught Sasuke making out with the pretty omega. After that the raven had returned up to three times a week to the library, dragging a sweet-smelling eager omega overflowing with desire behind him. 

How the raven managed to time his escapades perfectly with his schedule fucking perplexed him. He had to will himself to sit and squirm at the front desk trying not to think about what the handsome raven was doing or whispering to the earnest trail of partners. 

He was irritated (that it wasn’t him getting pushed against the stacks) that the raven had taken over his territory and was using the library as a god damn fuck hotel. He wasn’t too sure about what it was that angered him so much this time around. 

That it was his friend Hinata that came in trailing after the raven or the way they both already reeked of each other—he could smell it all the way to the circulation desk. 

So this time he didn’t watch as Sasuke guided Hinata to the back of the library, but he stood and caught up to the pair. 

“Naru?” The blonde didn’t even have time to feel bad about how rude he was being, or how maybe it was embarrassing for Hinata to have him walk so close to them. Probably Self-conscious about how she smelled. 

He detected a bit of panic coming from his friend and gave her what he hoped was a reassuring smile “Hi ‘Nata, I’m so sorry you mind if I borrow him for a sec?” He said, and even though he’d never so much as directed a word to the Uchiha, he grabbed the raven’s hand; ignoring the way his heart threatened to beat right out of his chest. 

They were right next to the row of private study rooms. He opened one of the doors that read available and dragged the raven in behind him. 

He turned to see Sasuke holding in a laugh “What are you doing? ” he asked, as he crossed his arms on his chest. 

Sasuke leaned back against the door “I was going to study--until I was manhandled by you” 

Naruto’s fingers dug into the skin of his arms “Bullshit, I’ve been working here for over a year, and I hadn’t seen you in here once , why is it that all of a sudden you need to bring your whore fest here of all places?” He instantly felt guilty at his choice of words when he remembered Hinata was out there waiting for the raven…

His bravado attitude faltered a bit, but the raven seemed unaffected if not amused “Whore fest?” Sasuke asked raising an eyebrow. 

The blonde let out a breath “Listen, I don’t judge, I really don’t, we’re in college I get it, you want to be a little frisky, maybe you like the idea of getting caught or being watched or whatever but this is a library, and there are students that rely on this place to get their work done, and the smell of almost rutting alpha and needy omega is ridiculously distracting—” He saw something shift through the raven's eyes as they grew a little darker than they had been before. 

The smell of ‘want’ had been lingering from when he’d trailed in with Hinata but…but it intensified as his eyes settled on Naruto like he was a new fucking toy “I thought you were a beta” 

“What?” He asked a little dumbfounded and all too distracted by the raven’s smell, thunder brewing into a storm. 

“I can’t smell you, are you wearing blockers?” he asked as he took a step away from the door and towards the blonde. 

“None of your business” Naruto replied 

“Please tell me you’re an omega, you have to be , with how you look, though this little attitude you have…” The raven kept stepping towards him and he kept taking steps back not knowing how to react to the sudden onslaught of words falling from the raven's lips. 

Naruto’s back hit the wall of the study room and he looked up to see Sasuke mere inches away from him, looking down at him, his hand came up and fell softly on Naruto’s chin, lifting his face so he could look at him in the eye before he leaned down to whisper by the blonde's ear “I don’t know where you’ve been hiding baby boy, but your reaction to catching me the first time had me harder than the panting, slicking girl I was fingering” 

The blonde let out a choked sound as he closed his eyes trying not to drown in the man's smell, trying not to fucking succumb and bury his head on Sasuke’s neck. Naruto shuddered as the raven’s lips grazed the shell of his ear “ Omega ” The raven whispered, and despite the soft sound that left his lips Naruto managed to lift his hands and push the raven. 

“ Stop” He let out panting softly, and the raven raised his hands and took a step back “Wouldn’t want to do anything you don’t want baby boy” 

“Don’t call me that”

“Or what?” He grit his teeth—insufferable, cocky, alpha asshole. 

Sasuke pulled a chair and dropped down on it like he hadn’t just caged the blonde against the wall and turned him into a shivering mess to get the answer he wanted out of him. 

Naruto wanted to pull his hair when the raven gave him an easy-going smile “Won’t you let me find out what you smell like?” 

Instead of baring his neck to the alpha like he wanted to, he masked his emotions and gave Sasuke an easy smile “Wouldn’t you like to know?” He walked past the seated raven and unlocked the door—how, when even? He rolled his eyes as he looked back at Sasuke “Wear blockers, I don’t want to know what you’re doing in here or who you’re doing it with” 

“You sound almost jealous baby boy, I'm down if you are” The raven let out smoothly as he chuckled lightly. 

“You wish” The blonde muttered loud enough for Sasuke to hear. 

He threw the door open and his stomach twisted as he saw Hinata leaning against one of the bookcases. She was still waiting for Sasuke. Her eyes shot to the floor and he let out a breath “Sorry, didn’t mean to—you know interrupt” he said softly as he walked up to his friend and winked at her hoping it would help ease some of her embarrassment. 

It wasn’t her fault Naruto wished it was him being dragged into an obscure part of the library or that at the same time he absolutely refused to give in to the desire.

 Ino was cackling, literally folded over and almost in tears. 

“You should skip the blockers and bury him in pheromones next time you see him” The blonde scowled at her “Ino!” 

“Gosh and Hinata! All sweet and innocent, and a blushing mess almost as bad as you— hooking up with the king of all fuckboys” 

She could barely breathe and Naruto was quite literally pouting at her, she stopped for a second lifting her wine glass up to her glossy lips the waves of ‘sorry’ and ‘it’s ok’ hit him and he slumped his shoulders. 

“You don’t need to do that” he sort of wished that his alpha best friend did it for him, she smelled good like iced green tea lemonade. She was always careful around him and never flooded him with pheromones, or barked orders at him. 

Ino was the kind of alpha he wanted, and somehow, they only worked as friends. It wasn’t for lack of trying their freshman year either. She was kind though, she didn’t judge him or pressure him either, and when they realized there was no ‘spark’ other than the pheromones pushing him to her alpha they fell into the best friendship he’s ever had. 

“Just letting you know I get it,” She said with a smile “But really Naru, you want to pretend like you didn’t perk up like a puppy the first time you saw him, let alone smelled him?” 

“I could dare say he’s fucked every single available hole in this school and has been reduced to recycling” 

“So he’s not prince charming, you’re not a blushing virgin either and you’re obviously physically attracted, so what's the big deal” She jumped back on the couch and made Naruto scooch to the opposite side so they’d face each other. 

He took a sip of wine from his glass and bit his lower lip, yeah, what exactly was the big deal? So what if when he’d seen Sasuke he’d instantly thought how good it would feel to have dark and handsome all to himself, to have those deep charcoal eyes see only him... 

Omega 

Sasuke’s voice rang through his head and he felt his hairs stand on end at the rush of lust he felt. He tipped the rest of the cup up and could see Ino holding in another laugh, he grabbed a pillow and threw it at her as he reached for the wine bottle “Shut up you, anyhow it doesn’t matter because of ‘Nata” 

“Fuck that, if Hinata thinks she’s about to beguile that man into monogamy she’s about to get her heart broken, she has got to know she’s not the only one, for God’s sake she can probably smell it on him” 

The blonde reached over filling Ino’s cup his eyes falling for a second, now that was the problem, his stupid romantic self would trick him into thinking he’d be the one to change the raven and that was a dangerous game to play. 

Naruto was walking down the stacks 205, 206, 210, a-ah! 212, he placed the book back in its proper place and went on to look for number 226. 

“Hey baby boy” He jumped, hugging the books to his chest “Holy shi–Sasuke?” 

“Oh, you know my name?” The raven was leaning against the bookshelf closest to the blonde, how had he even managed to sneak up on him like tha— “You’re wearing scent blockers” He said softly…he’d actually listened to him. 

“Well since you asked so aggressively,” Sasuke said with a small smile, the blonde’s reaction was totally worth Karin being upset about not being able to smell him earlier that day. 

“Naruto,” The blonde said, the light blush still on his cheeks as he turned back to the stacks looking for number 226. 

“What’s that?” Sasuke asked 

“My name, Naruto Uzumaki” He slipped another book back into place and turned over to the 300’s “Not baby boy—Naruto” 

Sasuke walked over and grabbed half of the books on the blonde's arms and looked at the numbers on them before his eyes fell on the bookshelves “Baby boy sounds so much better –I think you like it” Sasuke said as he slipped a book into place and Naruto couldn't help but double check to make sure he’d slipped the book in the right place. 

“I know the numeric system,” Sasuke said amused, Naruto scoffed lightly as he rolled his eyes. Sasuke slipped another book into place “So Naru baby” He smirked as he saw the blonde flinch, but he was pretty sure it was more like a shiver. 

“How do you know my name?” Naruto placed the last book he'd been carrying on the shelf and he couldn’t help but smile at the raven “Really?” 

“Sasuke Uchiha King of Fuckboys, fuck daddy to pretty dainty omegas, who doesn’t know who you are” 

He’d said it playfully, how many of his friends or even girls and boys studying at the library had he heard talking about the raven ‘I’d let him be my daddy any day of the week’ but as soon as it left his lips he felt ridiculously self-conscious that the words had been coming out of his lips. 

There was a small intake of breath from Sasuke as he took the three steps it took to stand right in front of the blonde, his hand reaching out and grabbing Naruto’s wrist pulling him close so he could place his other hand on the blonde's waist “Call me daddy again, won’t you?” the raven muttered with this dark, luscious voice that slid right through Naruto. 

Naruto bit his lip. 

“So he’s not prince charming, you’re not a blushing virgin either and you’re obviously physically attracted, so what’s the big deal?”

Sasuke’s hand slid from his waist to the round of his ass, his fingers sliding easily under his shirt and barely grazing the waistband of his pants. 

But instead of leaning up and kissing the raven, he let out a shaky “I’m just your newest entertainment am I not? You’re upset there’s an omega out there you haven’t yet sunk your teeth into” Naruto finished he took a step back and away from the shiver-inducing touch. 

Fuck. Fuck his fucking, fuckwit of a conscience. 

“I’m not upset, I’m excited, you should have already been on your knees begging to suck my dick but your self-control is out of this world–-I like it” 

The blonde’s mouth dropped open and he felt the blood rush to his face, then he noticed Sasuke had gotten a semi just by ghosting his fingers across his skin, and from his not-well-thought-of mention of ‘daddy’ 

“Get used to it, he walked past the raven bumping his shoulder against him as he leaned over and whispered by the raven’s ear “And do make sure to enjoy the blue balls” 

“I’ll just jack off thinking of you, baby boy”

The thought of Sasuke jerking off to his image turned his legs to jelly and he totally tripped, he'd just barely been able to catch himself on a bookshelf. 

He could hear the asshole chuckling behind him.

Falling Hard 

Chapter 2: You Like Him 

Naruto wasn’t sure how he was able to keep that up until midterms, each time was harder than the last to step away from Sasuke, and each time he lingered longer, he allowed the raven's hands to stay on him, caress, graze…he’d cage him in and whisper ridiculously suggestive things to him, pushing his erection against the blonde’s thigh while he asking nicely:

Won't you let me smell you baby boy?

Let me taste you baby boy 

Then the moment the blonde pushed, he’d step back, cocky smile on his face as he licked his lips and moved to the side so Naruto could skitter away. 

Sometimes he wore the blockers, others he didn’t, Naruto suspected he’d skip on the blockers every once in a while so Naruto could smell how turned on he was. 

Yeah, Sasuke definitely knew what he was doing, and Naruto would be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy how good it felt, he was ridiculously pent up and wishing his hands were enough late at night as he replayed the interactions on repeat. 

Now was one of those instances, he was scrunching up the tissues on his hand and throwing his arm over his face, small little gasps leaving his lips as he allowed the memory of Sasuke’s smell to swarm him. 

If he was on the outside looking in he’d think it was sexual harassment, but…he sort of admired the raven…as maddening as it was Sasuke didn’t need to take anyone or anything by force, the moment Naruto uttered the word stop or made to move the raven off of him Sasuke stepped back no resistance, no pressure on the blonde. He wanted Naruto to want it just as much, he wanted the blonde to give in... 

His phone buzzed and he reached over and brought the device to his face. 

Crest tonight

And don’t say no

The blonde groaned 

No He replied instantly. 

I said don’t say no! Ino sent back with the angry face emoji, as soon as the message popped into his screen his phone started ringing. 

“Ino no”

“ C’mon, you’ve been all sorts of pent up because of that big bad alpha wolf hunting you down, not only in your dreams but in real life, go out with me, dance it out with some stranger, let someone actually make out with you on a dark corner—don’t roll your eyes at me” 

What the—he had to make sure the camera wasn’t actually on for a second “I’m already all comfy on the couch” 

“Lame, you’re too damn cute to waste away on a couch” 

“What a dream come true” 

“Naru!”

“ You’ll attract all sorts of attention like always and forget all about me” 

“Oh so the truth comes to light, you just want me all to yourself” The blonde laughed. 

“ Fine, but I’m dipping as soon as soon as you start making out with random strangers” Ino chuckled in response.

“Get that toosh in some tight jeans, I’ll be there in 20” 

What where the chance Sasuke would be there? High right? Ino thought Naruto wouldn’t give in to the raven's advances because he just ‘didn’t want to be like the lot that did’ and that wasn’t completely a lie, but would he really rather make out with an actual complete stranger than the steamy hot raven that most likely just wanted in his pants but was at least relentlessly trying to get in his pants?

Not to mention he’d kind of really wanted to get in the raven's pants too. 

Why was he even playing so hard to get honestly? He groaned and pushed the thought away from his head as he got up, getting out of his comfy sweats. He slipped on some black jeans and a white t-shirt with an oversized black, grey, and white plaid flannel on top, it was chilly outside, but if it got too hot in there he could always tie it around his waist. 

What the hell, he’d already changed, he was permanently living in his jeans and basic tees, or his go-to hoody if it was chilly. He was already being dragged out, might as well try right? He slipped the black little stud earrings into place, and a black snake thin snake chain to match. 

He liked the messy hair so he left the blonde locks be. Ino, squealed when he opened the door “Now that’s what I’m talking about, now go put your conscience in a box and lock it up so hopefully, you can come back home with a plus one tonight because I assure you there will be plenty of willing partners” she leaned over to pull him into a hug and her eyes twinkled. 

“Ok, we’re leaving” she dragged him out in such a rush he barely had time to lock the apartment behind him and grab his phone. 

The club was packed, he felt a little self-conscious as heads turned to them when they walked over to the bar to get drinks, but he figured the stares were for Ino, in her four-inch heels, tight black romper, a chunky gold paperclip chain resting on her neck and her long blonde hair in a high ponytail. She looked absolutely stunning. 

She threw a kiss at the bartender as he gave them their drinks for free and instantly dragged him to the dance floor, he flushed as her green tea lemonade scent hit him, her hands sliding over him and nudging him to raise his hands. 

He felt the warmth of the alcohol wash through him, a very slight haziness settling, he decided to stay even as a dark goddess walked up to Ino and slithered her hands around the tall blonde. 

Once Ino stepped away from him to dance with the girl, the flood of Alphas began one after the other, trying to pull him over, quite literally groping him, but this sort of groping he wasn’t so sure he quite welcomed. He knew he looked good, still, he never gathered that much att—his eyes widened as the sudden realization hit him. 

He’d never put on the scent blockers before he left the house, his head whipped up to his friend who definitely knew it had finally dawned on him, and she unwound herself from the cutie that was lapping at her neck enough to holler at him “You’re already here enjoy the attention Naru, and if you get too uncomfortable I got you, I promise”  

He raised an eyebrow at her as he spotted Ino’s now ‘date’ for the night throwing daggers at him, he could feel the waves of ‘unhappy’ and ‘back off’ gosh, if he was wearing his scent blockers she would just assume he was beta and not feel the need to throw emotions at him and get all territorial. 

“I promise,” The tall blonde said again and Naruto nodded at her, he wished he was more comfortable with his scent, that he wasn’t so overwhelmed by the attention, that he could make himself feel that people walked up to him because he was good looking, and funny, not just because he smelled ‘good’. 

Moments like this would remind him of when he was younger and his alpha classmates were still getting the hang of their pheromones, their commands, and the way they could abuse their anatomy to take what they wanted. Naruto was no easy omega to take down though, he’d fight against the need to obey commands, he fought to be taken seriously, against every fiber in his being telling him to cower before an alpha. 

He never had to do any of that when he was on scent blockers, he hated how much it mattered to people, and how omega’s were always underestimated.  

He’d been so lost in his thought’s he was caught completely off guard when a set of big hands slid around his waist “I’ll be fucked, baby boy” his back hit a wide chest and his eyes closed as thunder and rain flooded him, he didn't even think as he leaned into the touch the back of his head falling on the raven's shoulder as Sasuke nosed his neck “It’s you that smells like sunshine and oranges” 

He blushed as the raven inhaled deeply again and his arms fully wrapped him in a hug, another wave of Sasuke’s scent hit him, stronger, needier…amazed. 

Naruto realized Sasuke was nosing his neck and that with so many pheromones of his own he’d probably scent him, and he whipped his head up startled, and turned over in the raven’s arms so he could face him, his hand rubbing the spot on his neck where the ravens nose had just been. 

Sasuke’s eyes were technically blown, through all of their bantering he’d never once seen the raven quite so speechless, even sort of lost. The omega inside him preened taking Sasuke’s current state as praise, and for once Naruto didn’t want to shove the feeling down, he wanted to take it in, he wanted—more, to get much more out of the raven. 

Sasuke reached for him again, his hand easily going around his waist and pulling him close “Dance with me” he said loudly. The blonde looked up to see a couple of eyes on him, a group of girls, whom the raven had probably been with, was staring daggers at him. 

“Wouldn’t want to upset your fans” He replied but allowed the raven to slip his other arm around him. 

Even though the music was fast-paced they were pretty much swaying in place, their cheeks grazing “Would that be a turn on baby boy? To know I’m willing to turn them down for you?” 

“I’m not sleeping with you, so you might as well go back to your groupies” Sasuke took a step back, and Naruto’s heart fell for a second as he cussed his stupid need to push the raven away despite wanting nothing more than for Sasuke to push him against the club wall and kiss him senseless. 

But Sasuke hadn’t stepped away to leave, he’d taken a step back so he could look at Naruto, the tight jeans, the flannel that had long been tied to his waist, the messy blonde hair framing his face, the deep blue eyes that drowned him. He’d already wanted to know what it would feel like to take the blonde before he found out he smelled incredible before he found out he was an omega...

His baby boy was full of surprises, and Sasuke couldn’t help wanting to chase him, wanting to taste, he was desperate for it “If I go back to my groupies every unclaimed alpha will be all over you” two of Sasuke’s fingers looped around the flannel on his waist and pulled him close “Is that what you want?” He asked in a deep sultry voice. 

It was one night, Naruto though, one night at a club. He wasn’t even dating, why should he feel ashamed for sleeping with a man everyone claimed would be one of the best lays of his life? 

You know why. His mind threw at him mercilessly. 

Because if he slept with the raven the chase would be over, and he’d move on to his next victim, and Naruto would feel discarded and used, and he would miss him. He knew he would, he’d miss the stupid cocky attitude, he would miss the visits at work, the raven helping him put books back while making small talk with him. 

What did it matter though? Not like Sasuke had stopped fucking around just because he wasn’t putting out, he could still smell others on the raven, Sasuke would still bring his lovers into the library to rile him up–the implication of ‘this could be you’ heavy in the air. 

He stepped up, his hands sprawling over the raven's chest before he looped them around the pale neck “I’m still not sleeping with you” Sasuke threw him a triumphant smile. 

“Lots of other things we can do that don’t include fucking” the blonde blushed as the raven swirled his hips and Naruto could feel just how turned on Sasuke was, he gasped a little and licked his lips, his eyes lingering on the raven's lips–gosh he wanted to...he wanted to taste him. 

The action drew Sasukes eyes straight to wet cherry lips “For example,” one of his hands fell on his chin lifting his face and running his thumb over glossy lips. “How about you finally let me get a taste of this snarky little mouth you’ve got on you princess?” 

Naruto’s mouth fell open and his fingers dug into the back of the raven’s neck “princess?” he let out sounding offended. But Sasuke’s hands lowered to his ass and squeezed dragging an ‘eeep’ out of the blonde  Ah–I see now, you wear the blockers to hide what you feel don’t you? Because you sound alarmingly outraged, but your smell just got sweeter baby boy” 

“Stop it,” the blonde muttered as a trail of shivers ran down his body but there was no bite behind it, it was more like the last of his self-restraint finally snapping. As always the raven obeyed, despite the hard-on, despite the intensity of their mingling smells, he took his hands off the blonde and was about to step back. 

For once it was Naruto who reached out, his hand gripping the raven's neck as he pulled him down and he leaned up on his tiptoes landing his lips on Sasukes and sucking the raven’s bottom lip into his mouth. The action literally ripped a low growl from the man, his arms surrounded the blonde again and he went to work, slipping his tongue inside Naruto’s wet, warm, delicious mouth. 

Naruto made a small sound in the back of his throat that should have been embarrassing, but only caused the raven to grind against him harder, both their erections rubbing through the fabric of their pants, Sasuke’s hands finding their way underneath the blonde's shirt, the touch of his hands burning Naruto’s skin. 

Naruto was lost—Sasuke tasted like—he couldn’t even describe it, it was strong and it made him weak in the knees and he wanted more, he wanted to lick every single scent gland on the raven and then he wanted to scent him, so everyone would know who Sasuke belo—fuck he was spiraling. 

Sasuke slipped his leg between the blonde's thighs and ground harder against him as he sucked and bit at Naruto’s lips, pulling back to see glassy dazed blue eyes and abused lips “fuck ” he leaned over and bit Naruto’s lower lip, growling softly in encouragement at the sound that left the blonde's lips when he pulled back.

He leaned back in to kiss the blonde’s cheek, littering kisses all the way down to his jaw “Ngh–Sas–” the blonde let out breathlessly, waiting for the raven to keep going down, to suck a path down his neck…his collarbone… scent me, scent me, scent me… rang over and over in his head. 

Sasuke buried his face in the blonde's neck and inhaled, and without even thinking about it, he rubbed his cheek on the spot mine, rang through his head as his hands gripped those hips, his fingers digging into soft skin “Please let me take you somewhere, please” 

“Naru?” The voice cut through the lust, the haze, and the need as the blonde’s eyes lifted to the side to spot Hinata's shaky lilac eyes looking between Sasuke and him, she was looking at him like he’d betrayed her and it hit him like a fucking truck. 

It was easy to ignore the groupies, he didn’t know them, but he’d known Hinata since high school, and he knew there she also wasn’t the type to just fuck around, that she probably hadn’t been able to turn the raven away…just like him. 

Fucking. Fuck. 

He took a breath and despite his body screaming at him not to, he stepped away from the raven, his hands shaking a bit as he moved “Hinata!” he called after the girl when she turned and got lost in a swarm of people. 

Sasuke reached out and grabbed his wrist stopping him “Wait” Naruto turned back and god he wanted to stay, he wanted to stay so bad. He’d been five seconds away from telling Sasuke that his apartment was less than a ten-minute walk from the club. Five seconds away from just giving in and letting the raven do anything, everything to him. 

But he’d seen himself in Hinata, that’s what awaited him, disappointment, heartbreak, and a cold bucketful of reality. 

“I—I have to check on her,” he said as he pulled his hand from the raven’s grasp and dived into the crowd. In the end, he couldn’t find her. So he stepped out of the club into what felt like freezing air against his heated and sweaty skin. 

Then he heard a small barely-there sob, and he turned over to the little alleyway next to the club, he walked over to see Hinata crying into her hands “Hey” he said softly as he walked over to her, leaning back on the brick wall right next to her.

“It’s not like I haven’t seen him make out with other people” she let out between sobs “Not like I didn’t know any better” she added. 

“Nata I…” 

“You like him” the blonde blushed “You can’t like someone like him,” he said heavy blush settling on his cheeks, she chuckled as she wiped Rimmel from under her eyes “preaching to the choir” 

“I’m sorry” 

“You don't have to apologize Naru, just...know you’re not the only one, if you’re going to go ahead and get involved with him you should know they’ll always be others, and don’t be surprised when it still hurts when you see it,” She said with a little sigh. Naruto felt an unbearable weight on his chest—he was so torn, between welcoming all the pleasure along with the pain or holding on to his resolve and forever wondering what could have been. 

After all, the level of attraction between them…that wasn’t…he’d never felt that before, was it the same for Sasuke?

The raven technically dragged the omega boy into the stall. 

Fuck. Fuck he wanted, he wished—he’d been so close. 

He wanted so badly for the omega to have blonde hair and blue eyes, he wanted to see his baby boy’s blue eyes completely hazed and lost. They’d totally ended up scenting each other and he could smell the sunshine and oranges, but he wanted the smell to be stronger, he wanted to drown in it, he wanted to know if his baby boy was dripping for him, and to taste him where the flavor would be at it’s strongest—he’d been so close. 

He didn’t even know who the guy was, he didn’t even know if this was his second, third, or maybe even first time getting involved with him. All he knew was that he needed to fuck someone, he needed an outlet to drive all the lust and desire Naruto had coiled inside of him. 

The guy was already scrambling to unbutton his pants and dropping to the floor “Fuck, fuck you smell so good” he let out when he freed Sasuke’s erection from his pants. Not one bit bothered by the fact that Sasuke also smelled like another omega—like Naru. 

“I’m not upset, I’m excited, you should have already been on your knees begging to suck my dick but your self-control is out of this world–I like it” 

Would Naruto refuse to fall on his knees? Or even better, would he fall on his knees while staring up at him defiantly—letting him know exactly who was about to pleasure him? 

He groaned as warm lips surrounded him. 

Would his baby boy ever let him drag him into a restroom and take him from behind? 

Holy hell his hips stuttered into warm lips as he closed his eyes and allowed the image to play out, and concentrated on picking up the Naruto's addicting smell still heavy on him, how long would the smell linger?

Naruto let out a sigh maybe he wouldn’t have to pick between giving in or staying strong. The raven hadn’t been back to the library since the clubbing incident. 

Well maybe he had…and shortly after realized that Naruto was too much damn work…or he might be under the impression that the blonde was avoiding him. Naruto had woken up the day after the club a sweaty cramping mess and realized his heat was coming early. While he was still lucid he called Kakashi to let him know he wouldn’t be able to come in for a couple of days, rushing to the grocery store while he could to make sure he stocked up on water and snacks. 

He knew it had to be the whole clubbing incident that triggered his early heat…the influence Sasuke had on him was, unsettling…and yet ridiculously exciting all at once. 

When he realized that it wasn’t only his flannel that was bathed in Sasuke’s smell, but that he smelled like Sasuke he’d devolved even faster, as he rubbed his face against the piece of clothing trying to completely surround himself in storm and thunder as he desperately gripped at his hard cock stripping it back roughly, keening, and moaning. 

He needed… he needed, something, someone, anyone Sasuke …to fill the need inside of him “Alpha” he muttered into the flannel as he buried his face in it and he spilled all over his blankets. He groaned, instantly hard again, the slick running down his leg as he reached over to the bedside drawer for the toys. 

His last rational thought was that he was glad he didn’t have the raven's number because he would have called him…he would have called him and begged him to take care of him.

He blushed, his eyes scanning the titles he was inputting on the computer system for the tenth time that morning. He was not being very productive at all…then there was a small thud on the desk and he looked up. His eyes widened slightly. 

“What a cute little flush you got going princess, thinking about me?” Naruto didn’t know what to do with the relief he felt as he took Sasuke in, his burgundy hoody a stark contrast to his hair and eyes.

“What’s this?” He asked looking at the Christmas-themed Starbucks hot cup and growing redder at the baby boy written on the cup. 

“I’d like to propose an exchange,” The raven said, his elbows falling on the desk. The blonde raised an eyebrow. 

“I’ll give you this vanilla latte” he pushed the cup closer to Naruto “and you give me your number” Naruto’s insides coiled. No, no, no, no, no, he’d just been thinking about that, he couldn’t, if he did that was it. He was done for. 

“Or, I could just take this vanilla latte,” he said as he grabbed the cup and lifted it to his lips taking a sip and enjoying the warm sweet liquid “And keep my number to myself” 

Sasuke actually pouted, he pouted “That’s playing dirty” 

Naruto let out an easy laugh “Why a vanilla latte?” 

“Because if anything you look vanilla” Naruto choked on his second sip a little and glared down at the cup. 

“But if you’re not you can always give me your number and show me how not vanilla you are, and if you are and it bothers you daddy’s more than happy to teach—” He smacked the cup down as he stood, reached over and slapped his hand over Sasuke’s lips. 

“How have you no shame whatsoever?” he asked as he looked around and was glad to see it was still too early and the library was pretty much deserted. 

Sasuke sneaked his tongue out and liked the palm of the blonde's hand and Naruto withdrew his hand from the raven’s face “Practice makes perfect” he said with a wolfish smirk. 

Naruto shook his head as he grabbed the cart of returned books, put his coffee in a small empty space, and walked over to the stacks the raven followed right behind him, grabbed a small stack of books, and set about organizing them “You don’t check my work anymore” He said with a small smile looking sideways at the blonde. 

“Turns out you do know the numerical system,” Naruto said with a small smile of his own.

“I know you’re going to say something witty like ‘you’re full of yourself’ or something but, you were gone for almost two weeks, did I…did I do something to make you feel” a slight pause as Naruto turned over to give Sasuke his full attention. 

“Unsafe,” he said, at last, anddddd Naruto was so fucked. 

Sasuke cared. 

“Oh Ummm, no Sasuke it wasn’t that at all, I uh—had to take a couple of days off for omega stuff, then I had to catch up on all the school work I fell behind on, and well umm, ok this is too much information, the point is, you’re right, you’re full of yourself and it had nothing to do with you” nevermind that I came while spilling your name and ramming a knotted dildo up my ass more times than I can count, he continued his trail of thought in his head, thank the fucking gods for scent blockers, he thought as he turned over and placed the rest of the books back into place, his face heated. 

“You went into heat” Sasuke technically summarized the rant for him, his look of concern morphing right back into his easygoing, contagious lazy fucking smile “See this is why we should exchange numbers, I’d have been more than happy to help baby boy” 

“Who said I spent it on my own?” Naruto snapped, shocking himself and definitely shocking Sasuke for a few seconds before the raven recovered. 

“And I didn’t go into heat, I had my heat” Going into heat would infer something had caused the heat…which was true, but Sasuke didn’t need to know that “it’s anatomical you know, happens every three to six months, really depends on the omega” Naruto added. 

Sasuke threw him an amused smile as they finished with the books in the arts section and moved over to Mathematics “I know anatomy quite well, tell me, what is it that I have to do so you’d let me be the one to take care of you next time?” 

Naruto picked up the coffee took a sip and leaned against the stacks “That’s not going to happen” 

“Why?” Sasuke asked 

“Because you’re a libertine, a philanderer, everybody’s but not anybody’s and I don’t mess with guys like that” 

Sasuke laughed “Libertine?” he asked amused. 

“Are those words too big for you? Here” The blonde set the coffee down walked across to the reference section and ran his fingers through the books until he found the one he was looking for he pulled it out and flipped through it “Libertine, noun, a person, especially a man, who behaves without moral principles or a sense of responsibility, especially in sexual matters ” 

He flipped through the big book again “Philanderer, noun, a man who readily or frequently enters into casual sexual relationships with women; a womanizer” he closed the dictionary and placed it back on the bookshelf smile playing on his lips. 

But he was surprised to see Sasuke’s eyes trailing him, for once, he kept his hands to himself as he walked over to the blonde and leaned down to whisper by Naruto’s ear “everybody’s but not anybody’s…so the issue here is that you want me all to yourself? How would you find out if you’re the one if you won’t give it a go baby boy?”

Sasuke was goading him, daring him to try his hardest to win him over, and he probably knew better, but he wanted him, he knew this battle had been lost before it even started, the moment he looked at the raven during freshman year and wished it was him being dragged into an empty classroom.

Sasuke Uchiha was probably going to break his heart, the real unknown was when.  

“Saying that while you smell like ripe strawberries is a little mean,” he said almost a whisper, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear, “Help me out with the rest of the books?” he added before turning over and walking back to reception, holding in what felt like tears.

Somehow today of all days he felt ridiculously oversensitive at the fact that the raven was once again standing in front of him trying to woo him even though he slept with someone else often enough to smell like them. 

Hadn’t he just been relieved that Sasuke had shown? He was a fucking mess.

Falling Hard

Chapter 3: Catching Feels 

Sasuke didn’t even understand why he was feeling guilty if that’s even what he was feeling, looking for a new lay had never stopped him from fucking others and he’d certainly never felt guilty while doing it. 

He couldn't help himself from going back to the library after Naruto had walked in on him the first time—the way the red blush spread across his cheeks, the little intake of air he’d taken when their eyes met, and the way those pretty blue eyes were wide and confused…but still full of desire. 

He’d seen it, he could spot desire, the blonde cutie was wishing he was the brunette. He wanted to see more reactions and at first, he’d been perfectly happy looking at the little frown and pout the blonde beta would make (well he’d thought he was a beta at first) when he walked into the library beta’s and omega’s trailing behind him. 

Then Naruto had walked up to him and given him a piece of his mind. It didn’t matter that they'd never exchanged words before. He was…wild, dauntless really and that was enough to fire him up, but the pretty blonde let out that his scent was distracting. 

He was an omega. 

The thought of just prepping the beta and drawing all sorts of noises from the wild firecracker made him hard enough. But his baby boy could actually get wet for him. Could possibly keen real sweet and present for him. 

Fuck. 

Boy wonder kept bringing surprise after surprise to the table though because when Sasuke had been at that club, sandwiched between two pretty little things the smell of sunshine and oranges still caught his attention despite the two omega girls drowning him in pheromones, the interest heavy and obvious. Their smell dulled next to whoever was spilling sunshine into the air, he didn't even fucking know how sunshine smelled but he knew that was it. 

He looked around, the girls irritated by how he’d suddenly dropped his hands from them, and then his eyes landed on what he knew was a soft mop of blonde hair and the most recent piece of ass he’d been staring at for the last few months. 

It couldn’t be. But it was, the smell was coming from his favorite librarian baby boy. He so hadn’t expected Naru to smell so good that he’d want to lick the blonde’s pheromones right off his neck. 

He saw the blonde shake his head ‘no’ at an alpha that was trying to grab his waist, then a little look passed through his face before he turned to another blonde, a girl. Gorgeous really, they looked friendly, and Naru seemed to relax a bit after exchanging words…something unknown nudged him to move, to walk over to the blonde and drape him in his smell, in his arms. To fend off all the alphas that were obviously trying to claim the blonde for the night.

He wouldn’t turn him away,  he knew it, he’d been doing it less and less at the library. Naruto could complain about his ‘stupid alpha pheromones’ all day long, but Sasuke could still spot the slight disappointment in the blonde when he wore the blockers. 

Naruto liked smelling him. 

His baby boy liked him, but it was about something more than playing hard to get. Sasuke could respect that, he had been perfectly happy taking as much as Naruto would give. 

After all, there were plenty of willing partners to drive his pent-up sexual frustration into until he could finally coax the blonde into a bed. 

Naru was always witty, snarky, and funny, he enjoyed visiting the library just to hear his voice—he frowned. When had it become more about his voice than to see how much touching he’d let him get away with?

He groaned as he threw an arm over his eyes as his other hand fell softly on the redhead, the girl sucked his shaft from bottom to top before she swirled her tongue on his head, she lifted her eyes to the raven “How’s that? You ready for me now?” 

The raven slipped a condom on and the redhead quite literally bared her teeth at it, which got a small laugh out of him, she pouted “Sas c’mon, I want to feel you raw” 

“You want to get laid, we’re using the condom K,” He said simply as he held the base of his cock steadying it so the girl could lower herself on him. 

“I am on birth control ah–” She gasped as he slipped all the way down “Don’t you think you’d feel so good, just raw inside of me?” She flooded him with need, want, and a strong ripe strawberry smell. 

The smell that had Naruto making a comment he’d never made before…he’d tell Sasuke to shower, roll his eyes at him, raise an eyebrow at him or just ignore the smell overall. But he’d never addressed it quite so directly and he’d never actually looked sad while saying it. 

“Fuck, Alpha” Karin let out as he shifted her hips so he’d hit her sweet spot just right. What was he even doing right now? Turned on omega riding his dick, begging for him raw and he was thinking about Naruto? 

He needed to get his head in the game, he pulled Karin down, his lips crashing against hers as his hand helped angle her waist and he trusted up a low growl on the back of his throat “ yes” she let out panting burying her head on Sasuke’s neck. 

The raven stilled for a second “No scenting” she pulled back a little dazed “What?” 

“Don’t scent me” he repeated and she frowned before her hips resumed their movements “Sasuke c’mon” she nudged, she wanted Sasuke to fuck her, really fuck her , she didn’t mind doing the work, she was the one that came over after all, but, what the fuck. She missed the way Sasuke would flip her and take her from behind until she was a shivering mess. 

The raven sat up, slipping an arm around her waist easily pulling her down against him, he built her nice and slow, and then when she felt herself tipping right over the edge she buried her face in his neck and bit. 

It obviously wasn’t a bonding mark, but it would leave a mark. 

“Karin, what the hell ?” Sasuke let out, despite sounding angry his hold on her hair was barely tight as he pulled her back, she let out a little gasp “Sorry, you felt so good, I couldn’t—” 

“I said no scenting and you went and bit me ” He hadn’t knotted her, it’s not really something he did, he could fuck fast or nice and slow but he wanted to be able to leave when he wanted, and knotting would make that quite difficult. Not to mention the intimacy of it, it was one thing to fuck, and another to have to stay connected to some girl he picked up in the hallway for twenty to thirty minutes. Or to K for that matter, if he ever knotted her the girl would never get it out of her head that they belonged together. 

He lifted the still slightly shaky omega off of him and set her to the side. She huffed “Why is it a big deal all of a sudden? You’ve never minded before, you even get off on it” 

“It doesn’t matter that I’ve never minded before, the point is I had just said no” She muttered something under her breath as she slipped her shirt on. 

“You want to say that loud enough for me to actually hear you,”  Sasuke said a little irritated, fucking was supposed to be fun and this felt too much like a lover's quarrel. 

“I said” she raised her voice as shimmied into her pants “you should just bang the library boy already so you can go back to fucking me properly” She threw a pillow at him “Bet he won’t be as good a fuck as you think he will” she muttered angrily as she exited his room, letting herself out of the apartment.

Sasuke caught the pillow before it hit his face and threw it at the wall frustrated. 

Oh but Sasuke had a feeling Naru would be worth it. His fingers closed around the bite on his neck and he thought about what his reaction would have been if had been that witty mouth closing in on his neck and tan tighs caging him in. 

He ended up coming harder thinking about it than he’d done inside the redhead.

Naruto hadn’t been expecting to run into the raven at Starbucks, he also hadn’t been expecting to see teeth marks on the raven's neck as he walked up to him ready to startle him. Revenge for all the times he sneaked up on him. 

Despite the little hole (if one was being honest it was more like a sinkhole) opening on the bottom of his stomach he grabbed the raven’s waist and squeezed “Boo!” 

Sasuke turned around and as his eyes fell on the blonde and he smiled “baby boy” Naruto blushed as the raven leaned in to place a kiss on his cheek. 

Everyone’s schedule had been thrown off balance with finals approaching so fast, so Naruto tried not to feel too self-conscious of his little jealous slip when the raven didn’t show as often. If he wanted to see the raven outside the library then he should have given him his damn number. 

Maybe then he would have been the one to place those teeth marks on Sasuke’s neck.

“Needed a caffeine break from studying or heading in for a final?” Naruto asked conversationally. 

“I’ve actually been camped out at the library reviewing every law book known to man for the last week, a little sad I didn’t get to see your pretty butt prancing about, would be a welcome distraction”

The blonde rolled his eyes, swatted the butterflies away, and let out a small laugh “I had a paper the size of a book due as a final for one of my classes and had to ask Kakashi for some time off so I could spend some sleepless nights fussing over it, about to turn that in and take my last final right now”  

The raven's eyes actually fell on the very noticeable eyebags and suddenly wished he could just drag the blonde onto a bed with him and hug him until he fell asleep.

“What can I get you today?” 

Sasuke turned to the wavy-haired barista “Venti Misto with four classic” Sasuke ordered as he moved to the side so Naruto could step up to the register next “I’ll spot you” he said as he pulled up the Starbucks app on his phone. 

“You don’t–”

“Baby boy you’re going to hold off the line, just tell the nice barista what you want” The blonde shook his head in disbelief and bit his lip, it was ridiculously chilly outside, hot cocoa chilly, but he needed the caffeine “Grande hot mocha—with whip please” 

“Want a cookie with your adult hot cocoa?” Sasuke said amused as the barista scanned the barcode on his phone and they stepped away from the line. The blonde shoved him lightly “Leave my sweet tooth alone, and it’s perfect weather for hot cocoa, I’m feeding my inner child and my coffee addicted grown up at the same time” 

Naruto leaned against the counter where the sugars and straws were, Sasuke did the same right next to him “What’s a misto?” the blonde asked. 

“Coffee with steamed milk” Naruto let out a small laugh “So you just classed up regular coffee a bit” he bumped his shoulder against the raven and the thought of letting his head fall on Sasuke's shoulder while they waited popped into his head. 

“I’ll get you next time” 

“I’d rather you thank me with a kiss” Naruto surprised himself as he turned his head and kissed the raven's cheek lightly, blushing furiously. Enjoying how Sasuke's eyes widened slightly as he obviously wasn’t expecting Naruto to take him seriously.

“Venti Misto with 4 pumps of classic for Sasuke” rang followed by “Grande hot mocha with whip for Naru” The barista called. The raven frowned as they walked up to the bar and noticed they hadn't put the lid on Naruto’s drink, the whip was in the form of a heart and had chocolate sprinkles on it. 

The blonde looked up to see the cute barista that often worked morning shifts when he walked to class on Mondays and Wednesdays “Thanks Mike” he said and got an eye wink and an ‘enjoy Naru!’ in exchange. 

After watching the exchange the raven literally stuck his finger through the whip destroying the heart and then licking the cream off his finger “Hey!” the blonde said outraged “I hope you burned your finger” he pouted as he put his lid on his cup. 

“I have to head back to burning my eyes with complex syntax and semantics,” Sasuke said as he ran his hand through his hair, the blonde laughed softly. 

“You got this Sas,” he said, offering Sasuke a warm smile.

 Sasuke felt…good…hanging out with Naru, he’d sort of missed him and wished the blonde could come sit with him while he studied, he reached out and grabbed his baby boy's hand squeezing it softly “Good luck on your final” 

Later after he’d taken his final the sweetness from the mocha was still lingering on his lips, he even felt sad he had to brush his teeth, but the empty cup was still sitting on his counter…he couldn't get himself to throw it away. Naruto let himself drop on his bed, absolutely exhausted…he would have thought seeing the bite mark on Sasuke’s neck would have made him feel like he needed to take ten steps back from the raven and finish drawing the boundary he’d been trying to hold the whole semester. 

How would you find out you’re the one if you won’t give it a go baby boy?

As he drifted off to sleep he wondered if Sasuke bought coffee for other omega’s he was talking to or if he took the time to learn their work schedule so he could hang out with them…

Maybe…maybe he should make a fool out of himself and…give in?

The blonde was early for his shift the next day and as he opened the door to the library, he spotted Sasuke sitting by one of the tables to the right of the library, looking down intently at the book he was scanning as he bit on the end of his pen. 

He walked out and about twenty minutes later he was walking back into the library, he sat across from the raven and placed the Starbucks cup down on the table, the raven looked up, slipping the headphones out and back into their case. 

“You got me coffee, princess?” Sasuke asked with a warm smile. The blonde was used to the permanent blush that settled on his face when Sasuke was around “You’ve gotten me twice already so I thought it was the nice thing to do” The blonde somehow managed to sit criss-cross on the chair as he gave the raven a smug smile “I do figure you’re more in need of some omega pheromones to feed the addiction finals is keeping you from but turns out Starbucks doesn't stock omega pheromones” 

The raven let out a soft laugh, as he wiggled his eyebrows at the blonde “You could just have washed out the blockers and given me 5 minutes on a restroom stall” 

“5 minutes? That's all you’d last? That’s underwhelming” The raven barely managed not to choke on his own saliva at the blonde's words. Was Naru…was his baby boy actually flirting back today?

“Please 5 minutes is barely enough to coax that little mouth of yours open, but you’re so skittish I have a feeling 5 minutes is all you’d give me” As he finished his sentence he  grabbed the cup and turned it over to see what the blonde had gotten him his hand grew still and his eyes lifted to Naruto’s blue ones “Is that…” 

Naruto bit the inside of his cheek, it was too late now to take it back…it was college right…he should do college things…that included getting involved with the one person you probably shouldn’t…

“My number,” he said softly, this was the most vulnerable he’d felt in a long time. But somehow the look of awe on the raven's face soothed the pins and needles running through his body.

He didn't want to just wonder what Sasuke felt like…how many people out there probably fantasized the same but the raven could barely bother to look their way. Sasuke found him attractive, and maybe he wasn’t the only one—by a long shot but…he just wanted to let go, he wanted to feel good…to feel wanted…and he wanted not to find himself wondering what it would be like if he’d given in and slept with Sasuke Uchiha five years down the road. 

“Fuck, baby boy please let me take you somewhere quiet and kiss those pretty lips” Sasuke let out– almost a whine.  

Naruto shifted on the chair suppressing the little gasp that wanted to escape his lips, and he couldn’t believe he was actually thinking about sneaking to the back of the library so Sasuke could snog him silly. 

A tall bulky guy with orange-ish hair walked up to the table and dumped another stack of books down and plopped down next to Sasuke, despite being a bulk of a man he carried no smell, beta? Or maybe he was just wearing blockers. His huge body had been obscuring the lithe girl that had been walking behind him and he had to stop breathing for a second when the sweet smell of strawberries hit him. He felt like the smell had quite literally slapped him…This was the person Sasuke slept with the most. 

The blonde’s eyes trailed the slim but curvy girl, her hair was a fiery red, and she looked beautiful enough in leggings and a cropped sweater. Her eyes widened slightly when they fell on him, and he felt the need to look away from her. 

The girl sat next to the raven and groaned softly as she pushed the book in front of her in distance “Honestly— I’m so fucking would up I’d be down for a quickie in the bathroom,” she said suggestively as her eyes landed on the raven, which shocked Naruto a bit, he was sitting right there. 

She didn't even know him, how could she just talk like that in front of a stranger, unless she knew exactly who he was and was coming on to Sasuke on purpose—she was marking her territory. 

“Eww K, did not need the mental image” The bulky guy muttered as he morosely flipped through the book, but then he stopped and his eyes lifted back to the blonde scanning him. 

“I…haven’t seen you before,” He said as he finally actually looked at the blonde. The raven had been throwing Karin a look and he stiffened at the interest in his roommate's voice. He sort of felt the need to get Naruto away from his friends. His baby boy was his. Nobody else should be leering at him, and he had just given him his number. The last thing he needed was for Karin to fuck up his chance by avalanching Naru with pheromones. 

“Oh, I’m Naruto nice to meet you” The blonde reached over offering the guy a hand and a smile. The ginger returned the gesture and shook the blonde's hand “Juugo” 

The blonde leaned back, settling on the chair as the big guy kept muttering to himself trying to put something together “Naruto…Naru—Oh, you’re baby boy, library boy right?” 

“I’m sorry?” Naruto asked confused. 

The redheaded omega chuckled “You know there’s a betting pool on when you’re going to finally put out?” 

“Karin ” Sasuke said warningly. Naruto felt like someone had pulled the chair from right under him and he’d fallen straight on his ass. 

He had to eat the sudden need to grab the cup he’d just given the raven and throw it in the trash as he told himself to calm down.  It’s not like he didn’t know what he was walking into, better yet he should think about why Karin was trying so hard to chase him away.  

She would only feel the need to drown him in hostile pheromones and point out she’s been with Sasuke while he hasn't because—

She feels threatened, has to. 

“Have you placed a bet?” The blonde asked Juugo, not letting any of his emotions come to the surface.  

“Baby boy Karin’s just fucking with you,” Sasuke said as he threw daggers at Karin. 

Juugo was unsure of how to even answer the blonde “Tell you what” Naruto said as he stood  I’ll tell you when I plan on putting out and we’ll split the winnings” the blonde winked before he hopped off the chair “Might as well get something out of it other than the addition to your burn book huh” The blonde continued as he leaned down so to whisper by Sasuke’s ear “right daddy?” 

He really wished he’d turned around to find out if Sasuke looked shocked, turned on, or even better both.

It really isn’t like that baby boy 

The blonde looked over at his phone and leaned against the bookcase.

You don’t have to lie to me, honestly I rather you didn’t 

It was true, he didn’t want to be told he was the only one if he wasn’t, and he didn’t want Sasuke to tell him it wasn’t about getting him on a bed because it definitely was about that. 

The three little dots keep dancing then disappearing 

I find you attractive, and I can’t wait ‘till you let me have you

You be you baby boy and give it up when you want, or don’t

The poll matters fuck shit

Despite the million types of wrong this whole conversation was doing to his monogamous self he laughed softly. 

The poll matters fuck shit he typed back 

Get back to studying 

I have a proposition for you, how about you finish all of your sentences with ‘daddy’ from now on

Naruto laughed as the text came in before he put the phone back in his pocket. 

Yeah, fuck the poll. 

Or what anyone else was going to have to say about his involvement with the raven for that matter.

Chapter 4: Zero to a Hundred

Did you survive yesterday? 

The blonde had taken the initiative to text the raven that morning. Then tried not to look at his phone every five minutes for the remainder of the day. Maybe he shouldn't have texted knowing he would be working double shifts that day. 

Friday of finals, it was literally a dead shift. Typically most finals were done by Thursday, which meant on Friday you either packed to go home if you hadn’t left already. Or slept all day long trying to recover so you could go out to party ad drink enough alcohol to possibly forget all the information you’d crammed into your brain the previous two weeks. 

Naruto certainly didn’t mind the extra money he’d make with the overtime, but the deadly quiet library was ricocheting his anxiety through the roof, and he’d lost count of the number of times he’d flipped his phone over to see if the raven had replied. Only one hour till closing, then what…would he see Sasuke over the break? What if the raven didn’t message him back… 

He bumped his head on the front desk and let out a soft sigh, it was too soon to be losing his head over whether the raven replied to his text message or not. This was so not going to end well for him. 

In an attempt to distract himself, he checked the return boxes again and grabbed the measly six books that had been returned, checked them in, and walked back towards the stacks—Kakashi shameless as he was left early and told him to make sure to key in the lock code by the doors when he left. 

He could take a nap on one of the cocoon chairs, he was still ridiculously exhausted from the last couple of weeks and didn’t think he’d fully recovered from his last heat, which had been much more intense than usual…he blushed…his omega had been screaming for the one alpha he had wanted to claim and hadn’t been kind to him. 

His phone buzzed and he could have totally slapped himself for how fast he reached for his back pocket so he could check his phone. 

For the love of—he’d literally kept the man away a whole semester, he was better than that. 

Still, he clicked on the damn message right away.

I knocked out right after that last final

Could have slept into Saturday

He bit his lip

Why didn't you?

 “Because I had pending business with you” The blonde whirled over and there was Sasuke, in black sweatpants and a gray hoodie leaning against the bookshelf–looking quite rugged—still crazy handsome but you could tell he was exhausted. 

“Oh wow that final did kick your butt” 

“What’s that supposed to mean?” the raven asked with a small smile.

“You look like shit” 

“Likewise” Naruto gasped in an overly dramatic way “I look great ” 

Sasuke walked closer, a small smirk on his lips “You are a pretty little thing, even with mean bags under your eyes” He felt his whole face heat. 

“You gave me your number,” Sasuke said softly, almost still in disbelief, he leaned on the bookshelf right in front of Naruto, his hands in his pockets “What does it mean?” He asked 

“It means I’m a fool,” The blonde said humorously.  

“Can I kiss you?” Sasuke had been thinking about the one kiss they had shared for over a month now, nothing compared to it, and he’d been so close to getting exactly that the day before until Karin made an untimely appearance. 

Naruto didn’t say no, he didn’t say yes either but his eyelashes fluttered, and that beautiful pink blush covered his cheeks as he looked at him and there was an ever so slight nod. 

Sasuke took the three steps he needed to take to be right in front of his baby boy, his hands falling gingerly on the blonde's hips—almost as if he was afraid that moving too fast would spook the blonde. 

Naruto’s back hit the bookshelf Sasuke was flush against him “Baby boy, look at me” the blonde titled his head a bit and sky blue eyes lifted to Sasuke’s obsidian only for a second before Sasuke leaned down and his lips were on his and his eyes fluttered closed as he leaned into the kiss. 

It was soft at first as if Sasuke was giving him a chance to push him away. When he didn't, the raven licked his lips and he felt like a switch had been turned on inside of him, like all the want and need he’d shoved deep inside just spilled into the surface. 

His hands came up to cup the raven's face so he could pull him closer, Sasuke’s tongue slipped inside his mouth and the taste of alpha pheromones hit him like an avalanche. He groaned as Sasuke’s fingers dug into his hips and his hands finally settled on the back of Sasuke’s neck, gripping at the skin there. 

They kissed for what felt like hours and seconds all at the same time—the raven licked, and sucked and nipped until he had to pull away for air, pleased with how the blonde followed after his lips, short gaps leaving the now red lips. 

Naruto surprised himself when he stepped forward nudging the raven against the bookcase opposite where he’d just been pushed against and connecting their lips again.

Sasuke let out a small laugh “Finally showing your true colors” he muttered “Here” he said as he grabbed the back of Naruto’s thighs and lifted the blonde up, Naruto let out another soft laugh as he crossed his legs on the small of Sasuke’s back “Don’t drop me” He said his face inches apart from the raven. 

Sasuke moved his hands to the blonde's ass and swirled his hips, he smirked as he saw the blue eyes flutter closed and a small chocked sound left those beautiful cherry lips...  

“Let me help you feel good” The raven muttered as he licked the shell of the blonde's ear then kissed the spot right under his earlobe before sucking on it and instantly groaning, the blockers might stop the smell, but they wouldn’t get rid of the taste.

Naruto was lost as he threw his head back giving the raven more access at the same time he started swirling his own hips meeting Sasuke's own movements the motion caused their hard-ons to rub together. Having the blonde move against him made the raven stutter in his movements a bit as he growled and mouthed the tan neck, his teeth barely scraping the skin, teasing. 

“Ah- Sas—” Sasuke settled himself on the floor against the bookshelf, the blondes leg’s on either side of his, the new position allowed the blonde to move more fluidly against him. Naruto’s head fell on his shoulder as his hips kept swirling increasing the tempo of their movements and desperately thinking about how badly he wanted their clothes to be off, how he wanted to feel Sasuke on him , in him. 

He could smell the raven's arousal, he could smell thunder and rain, Sasuke licked a path down his neck again and he growled against the fabric of Sasuke’s hoody as he sat back breathless,  his hands reached for the hem of the raven’s sweater as he pulled it up. 

Sasuke raised his arms and let out a small laugh as the blonde pulled the sweater off, the laugh died on his lips though as Naruto leaned back in and latched on to his neck sucking. 

“ Fuck” They both let out at the same time as their hips stuttered in their movements and both of them spilled into their pants the blonde still sucking on the pale neck hard enough to leave a purple bruise. Sasuke’s hands had long slipped under Naruto’s top and were digging into his hips hard enough to leave bruises of their own. Sasuke buried his face in Naruto's neck and growled at the lack of smell, his teeth biting softly and his tongue lapping at the skin as they rode their orgasm. 

Sasuke needed to smell him, he needed more, he needed to taste him, he needed to know if Naruto wanted him . No…he didn’t want Naruto to just want him, he needed him to need him. One of his hands slipped to the back of the blonde's pants and slipped in, his finger easily sliding into the blonde's cheeks, and he snapped, he snapped as he reached the puckered hole and felt the wet slick around it. 

He could take him, he could take him now. 

“Sas–wait” The blonde let out a breathless gasp, but even though he’d asked him to wait his hips swirled again and pushed against the finger that was barely pushing inside the slicked entrance. 

Then a phone rang and both of them snapped out of it, Sasuke managed to take his hands away from the blonde. Naruto stilled on top of him still a little dazed gasping a little and trying to regain his breath. 

“I’m sorry” The raven let out softly as one of his hands ran through his dark air, and fisting the hand that had Naruto’s slick on his side, fighting against the need to bring it up to his nose, his lips “I—Sorry—I didn’t mean” What was wrong with him, it’s like he was back in high school when he just presented like he had no fucking control over himself. 

The blonde who was red as a tomato and very much aware of not only the cum but the slick in his pants moved off the raven and took his phone out of his pocket turning off the alarm that was letting him know it was time to close up. 

“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just— the library floor isn’t…” Naruto didn’t want the first time they did it to be…

The raven let out a breath, fuck, yeah—like he hadn’t already realized that Naruto wasn’t the type to just have a quickie against a bookshelf, at the very least not for their first time…maybe later if Sasuke could show him it was worth it. 

“I know baby boy, I’m sorry I got carried away” The blonde looked at the floor biting his lip—they both had gotten carried away this wasn’t only on Sasuke and he…he did want more. 

“My shift’s over,” he said softly, not sure what he wanted the raven to say in response...except he did, he knew exactly what he wanted to hear.  

“My roommate is gone for the break” Sasuke’s palm fell on the blonde's cheek, nudging him to look at him “Come back with me? We’ll only do what you want to do, promise” 

It wasn’t smart. It really wasn’t, none of what he’d done had been smart, giving the raven his number, telling him he could kiss him, or nodding his head yes at Sasuke and agreeing to go back to his place.

He just couldn’t fight it anymore, he couldn’t keep saying no when every part of his body was screaming ‘yes’. He needed to let things play out and fall into place, if he wasn’t the one for Sasauke it would hurt–a lot, but at least he’d know and he’d be able to move on. 

He’d turned away prospects this semester because every time someone asked him out the raven was his first thought. Even though Sasuke was still seeing others, even though they technically weren’t anything, that’s just the type of person he was, when he liked someone, even if they didn’t like him back, he sort of committed even if it made no sense. 

He needed to face the music so that if things ended badly he could hurt and move on.

The ride to the raven’s place was quiet, Sasuke figured his baby boy was nervous, still, when they walked into the apartment as the door clicked shut behind them he turned over to the blonde.

The place smelled like Sasuke, Naruto closed his eyes and took in the smell wishing he could find a candle that smelled just like it so he could surround himself with it at his apartment as well.

“Hey—you ok?” The raven asked 

“Yeah, it’s just we went from zero to a hundred and I’m a little—and I just realized this was a terrible idea because I so need a change of clothes” The blonde finished as the blush Sasuke had come to love so much settled on his face. 

The raven laughed softly as he stepped up to the blonde giving him a quick kiss “Me too, there are two baths, you can use mine, and I can lend you something to wear” 

“I can use the spare, I don’t want to kick you out of your own bathroom,” The blonde said as he scratched the back of his head. Sasuke stopped the growl that raised to his throat— no, that was Juugo's, and if his baby boy was going to shower it would be in his bathroom. 

“It’s ok baby boy, here” The raven grabbed the blonde's hand and led him over to his bathroom “get in I’ll be back and place some clothes by the sink for you” 

“No peeking,” The blonde said and that got a smile out of the raven “You’re about to be sprawled on my bed, I’d rather be surprised” The raven replied playfully. 

“Oh my—get out!” he said as he blushed and pushed the raven out of the bathroom, closing the door but not locking it so he could come back and drop off the clothes he’d promised. 

The raven tried to keep a level head on himself, he checked his room and made sure there were no condoms on the trash can or empty foils anywhere. Finals had kept him plenty busy so he hadn’t had the time to bring anyone back. Quite honestly it was only Karin that only ever made it to his room, anyhow. He’d rather the people he fucked with didn’t know where he lived, he'd ended up with a couple of stalkers in the past. 

He let out a breath as he confirmed his room smelled purely of him, he’d washed his sheets that week so he didn’t need to worry about that. He found some pants for the blonde, and a t-shirt, smirking to himself as he bypassed the underwear on purpose, the idea of his baby boy going commando around his apartment filling him with desire. 

He knocked on the door before he opened it “Ok princess, leaving your clothes on the sink counter now” He said playfully. 

“Can we stop it with the princess?” 

The raven smiled as he could finally, finally, fully smell his baby boy gain “I know you like it” he let out smugly.

“Ugh–get out!” The blonde let out, embarrassed as it also dawned on him that by getting in the shower he’d basically given the raven an all-access card to his feelings. The raven laughed and rushed to take his own shower. 

Sasuke had to get himself off twice in the shower to get himself under control, he’d been too close to letting his alpha overwhelm him earlier. He’d meant it, he didn’t want to do anything Naru didn’t want. For him to enjoy it, his baby boy had to want it just as much. 

When stepped out he poked his head into his room and found the blonde walking by the desk in his room looking at the only picture of Sasuke and his family. It was Sasuke’s high school graduation. He hated that picture. 

The raven closed his eyes for a second, willing himself not to think about his family and to just take in Naru’s sweet smell “Baby boy” He let out softly and the blonde turned around. 

“Hey—sorry I didn’t know what to do while I waited didn’t mean to snoop” The raven’s eyes fell on the low handing pants obviously too big for the blonde and the oversized t-shirt and that’s all he needed not to think about his family anymore. 

“You look good in my clothes,” he said with a smile as he pulled the blonde close. 

“I look homeless in your clothes,” Naruto said as he scrunched his nose a little, and Sasuke couldn't help but lean down and place a small kiss on the blonde's nose “I disagree” He muttered as he kissed the blonde, seamlessly moving them by the bed, and letting Naruto settle on top of his lap. 

Sasuke kissed the blonde, slowly, enjoying himself, and almost humming as he was finally able to taste and smell his baby boy at the same time. When he was about to lift his shirt off the blonde he stopped as he noticed a barely there tremble, he wasn’t sure if it was from desire or….so he stopped and pulled back a bit, so he could center his eyes on the blonde. 

“Sorry—I don’t know why—back in the library we—I think nervous” Naruto let out, choosing to be honest. He’d also felt the mood change a bit earlier when the raven had walked in on him looking at the pictures on his desk and he was just—today had been a little too much for him. 

“Hey—it’s ok, can we just, can I just keep kissing you?” He asked and the blonde thought his heart would beat out of his chest as he nodded. The raven kissed him thoroughly, licking his lips and swiping inside his mouth their tongues dancing before he rearranged them again so they both were lying down and facing each other. 

Eventually, they broke the kiss “You’re exhausted aren’t you?” The raven asked, he could smell how tired Naru was as if at this point he was just trying to stay awake so they could keep kissing. 

“So are you” the blonde whispered back. 

“Come here,” the raven said as he turned blonde and pulled him, his back to his chest, and that cute little butt he wanted so badly to his crotch his cheek right next to Naru’s as he buried his face on the blondes neck and inhaled sunshine and oranges. 

“Sasuke?” the blonde asked softly, basking as the raven’s smell surrounded him like a blanket, and all too aware of the raven’s arm resting around his waist and his length on his ass.  

“I told you we didn’t have to do anything you didn’t want, I don’t think you’re in the mood anymore” Naruto blushed, it wasn’t that…it was just…was there even a ‘right’ way of doing this with the raven?

“It’s not—it’s just earlier when you walked in, I felt something shift, I think I might have done something to upset you” 

Sasuke stilled a bit “It’s not—It wasn’t you” 

“Do you not get along with them?” Of course, his baby boy was as perceptive as ever, he knew exactly what had upset him. 

“We have a complicated relationship” The blonde let out a laugh and the raven raised an eyebrow as the blonde devolved into a bit of a laughing fit. 

“Sorry, sorry, it’s just I could see every single person you’re currently involved with describing their relationship to you as complicated, but the one relationship you consider complicated is the one with your family” The raven let the words sink in and let out a laugh of his own. 

“How’s your relationship with your family?” He asked letting his cheek fall against the blonde again and trying to match his breathing to the Naru’s,  he didn’t know why he felt so relaxed all of a sudden when usually he’d be ten times more guarded with the subject of his family. 

“It’s just my parents and me”

“Siblings are overrated,” The raven said with a bitterness Naruto had never heard in his voice, whenever Sasuke talked around him his voice was either playful, light, or full of desire…he wanted to shift in the raven's arms, to turn around and look at him. 

But he had a feeling Sasuke wasn’t usually this…vulnerable or open to talking about this subject if the waves of anger and frustration that had hit him momentarily were anything to go by. 

“Do you ever talk about it with anyone?” He let out softly and was met with silence for a long minute before the raven’s voice rang again.

“Have you ever felt like you’ll never be or do enough?” 

“I don’t think so, I’ve felt insecure, sometimes I wonder if I’m doing enough if I should have aimed higher…you know my parents they had me when they were really young, I was sort of an accident” he let out a small laugh “Both of them went from one minimum wage job to the other to be able to well, provide, I knew I had to work extra hard to get scholarships to even come here, sometimes I think I should have picked law, medicine, engineering, anything that would allow me to provide for them the way they have provided for me” 

The raven's arms tightened around him “My family has a law firm, I had no say on whether I wanted to be a lawyer or not and my brother he’s just—so good, at everything always better, always the best, it’s like whenever I’m about to reach the bar it gets raised again and it’s so exhausting” 

Naruto finally gave in turning in the raven's arms and looking him in the eyes pushing as much comfort as he could onto him. 

“I admire you, don’t know where you get the time to fuck around so much and still be on the dean's list, bet your brother didn't best you at that,” he said with a small smile, and the raven couldn’t help but laugh. 

“In bed with a stalker, how do you know I made the dean's list?” 

“It’s published annually in the school’s newsletter—have you forgotten where I work?” The blonde smirked at him “Plus—I also made the dean's list last year” he winked.

“A scholarly stalker—I love it,” The raven said and the blonde giggled. Sasuke leaned in and kissed the blonde lazily, enjoying how his body fit against his own. Neither of them knew when they stopped kissing and fell asleep.

Falling Hard

Chapter 5: Does it Need a Label?

Naruto opened his eyes feeling a little disoriented at first, then he had to close them again as he realized he was blanketed in Sasuke’s rainy smell, in Sasuke’s arms. He was somehow sure that Sasuke would find a way to have sex with him, but instead…the raven was so different from what he thought he would be. 

He seemed so much more complex all of a sudden…he’d felt the pain from him, pain Sasuke probably wanted to keep hidden away…but he hadn’t pushed him away, he’d talked to him instead, he could feel every single emotion: pain, disappointment, disillusionment, anger—barely but he could feel them before they’d been pushed down.

He wanted to get rid of it all, it made him want to drown the raven in acceptance and love. His eyes traveled over Sasuke’s handsome face, the chiseled cheeks, and long dark lashes, then he blushed as his eyes fell on the purple bruise he’d left on his neck. 

Had Sasuke really not pushed for more out of respect or did the raven not want him as badly anymore, was he not enough to make him lose control? What was he even thinking? He should be happy Sasuke respected him, isn’t that why he’d drawn a line in the first place because he wanted to be different from the others?

He felt pressure build on his chest, desire coil in his belly and suddenly he felt like he couldn’t get enough air. 

Maybe he’d pushed the raven away for too long, maybe Sasuke was talking to him and not devouring him because their relationship had evolved and Naruto wasn’t…maybe he was just a friend now…

No

He didn’t want to just be Sasuke’s friend. 

His, he wanted Sasuke to be his. 

He wanted Sasuke to take him, bite him, scent him, knot him—consume him.

Obviously, he wasn’t thinking straight, he was probably high on the raven's pheromones as he leaned up and lapped at the mark he’d left earlier that day. His leg had ended up over the raven’s thigh and he swirled his hips grinding his hardening dick against Sasuke. His hand traveled form Sasuke’s middle down to his crotch rubbing along the length softly. 

Stop, he needed to stop, he couldn’t just feel the raven up while he was sleeping. What exactly had gotten into him?  

“Hng” he bit his lip so he wouldn’t slip the raven's name. But Sasuke's eyes were now open and on him, wondering for a split second if he was having another dream before it dawned on him that he had fallen asleep with the blonde earlier that night and then sleep was gone, especially as a “ S’ke” left the blonde’s lips and he felt his baby boy’s hard on pressed against the side of his thigh, and his hand rubbing him over his pants. 

A little growl left his lips as he caught the blonde's lips and in one fluid motion, he was hovering over the flustered omega. 

“Now baby boy, want to tell me what you’re doing?” The blonde stilled before he felt the heat fill his face. 

“Sorry I don’t know why I--” he brought his hands up to his face to cover it, and Sasuke felt shivers run down his body, as he leaned down inhaling the desire from his baby boy before he whispered, “Do you want me, princess?” His hand already sliding between them gripping Naruto’s erection. 

“Ah—” Naruto bucked up his hips into the touch “Say it”  the raven muttered as he cupped the blonde's cheek nudging him to look him in the eyes.

“Do you want me ?” Naru asked a little defiantly instead of answering the raven’s question. 

Sasuke’s smirked down at the pretty blonde “I’m not shy with words, baby boy, I’ll say exactly what I’m thinking” he muttered as he pulled his shirt over his head and the blonde’s blue eyes trailed the movement falling over pale skin and lean muscles.

The raven leaned down by his ear “I’m thinking I’d love to take my pants off you to find slick running down your tight little hole, I’m thinking I want your pretty blue eyes to fog with pleasure while I fuck you nice and slow” he kissed a trail down the shivering blonde, swirling his hips slowly “I want you to keen sweetly for me while I drive you all the way to the edge” 

Naruto squirmed under the raven gasping loudly as Sasuke’s scent devolved into a full-blown hurricane the more he described what he wanted to do to him. 

Sasuke leaned over latching his lips on the blonde's clavicle and sucking before he licked a path back up his throat, biting softly at the blonde's jaw “Does that sound like I want you?” 

“Tease” The blonde gasped out “It was a simple question” 

“Says the one that didn’t answer,” Sasuke said playfully and Naruto laughed softly before he leaned up, his lips crashing against the ravens and his hands making quick work of lifting his shirt off, the motion breaking the kiss “I do,” he said a little breathless as he looked at the raven “I do want you”

“ Fuck” Sasuke muttered reclaiming Naruto's lips his hand traveled down his baby boy's chest, then his belly, smirking as he felt the skin tremble under his fingers “You sure?” he asked his hands hovering right over the waistband of his pants. The blonde nodded at him and his hand easily slipped under the loose pants, he completely bypassed Naruto’s erection and his fingers soon found that tight little hole, he groaned as he noticed the sticky substance making it’s way out. 

Naruto’s hips stuttered a bit as he let out a groan and he threw his forearm over his face trying to hide his reaction from the raven. 

“Oh no you don’t—It’s bad enough that it’s dim in here—I need to see you,” he said darkly as his hand grabbed the tanned wrists and pinned them above the blonde's head. 

Naruto blushed deeper and squirmed stirring the raven's alpha “it’s embarrassing” he said softly, usually not only where the lights dimmed but most of the action with his previous partners had happened under the blankets. Nothing was covering them and he felt so exposed.

“Leave them here” The raven muttered as he leaned back, his eyes trailing over the moonlit skin, he hooked his fingers over the waistband of the loose pants and started pulling them down as he stared into blue eyes “You have nothing to be embarrassed about princess” he finished pulling the sweatpants down and ran his hands over the available skin “How can anyone be in bed with you and not want to stare” 

Sasuke was barely touching him, grazing his fingers on all the available skin, purposely bypassing his straining erection each time reducing him to a shivering gasping mess. 

“Stop it”  he let out softly as he squeezed his palms into fists above his head, the raven smirked down at him “Make me”  Naruto actually rolled his eyes as he smiled up at the raven, reaching out and treading his fingers through dark locks as he pulled the raven down for a kiss, he groaned as he felt the fabric of Sasuke's pants against his sensitive flesh “Off” He muttered into the kiss his hands pushing at the fabric. 

The raven chuckled “yes your highness” he mumbled as he bit the blonde's lower lip and sucked on it before he pulled back so he could take off the remainder of his clothes. Once undressed he sat back and his hands fell on the blonde's tan thighs kneading the skin as he pulled them apart while looking at the blonde for permission. 

“Can I?” there was a small nod as Naruto's hands fell back on his face, Sasuke was going to have to do something about his baby boy feeling so self-conscious, he had no reason to feel embarrassed—he was absolutely stunning. 

He fell down on his chest right by the blonde's erection, the smell of slick and pheromones so heavy it made his mouth water, he rubbed his cheek against scent glands on the blonde's thighs before he latched on to the spot sucking, his hand wrapping around the Naruto's shaft all at the same time “Holy shit—Sasuke!” he bucked into the raven's palm and one of his hands clamped on his mouth as trapping a trail of gasps and moans threatening to make it's way out. 

“I won’t touch you here until you let me hear,” The raven said as his other hand smeared the slick on the blonde's hole barely pushing in, his eyes growing darker as he saw Naruto bite into his hand and push back against his finger. 

Naruto was biting so hard he was sure he’d draw blood so he unclenched his teeth from his hand, and looked down at the raven, comfortable between his thighs as if he belonged there his hand lazily stroking him, his fingers dipping in and out tortuously.

He gripped the sheets above him and pushed down on the fingers, his body chasing the pleasure but he somehow still stopped himself from asking for it. The raven smirked at him “Let’s see if you can keep that up princess” he said as he dipped down and Naruto wasn’t ready to feel the Sasuke's tongue sweep across his tight bundle of nerves, pale hands prying his tights opening them for more access. 

“ Sas–Oh, fuc–omygod–wai—” He tried shifting back, but the raven growled, gripping his thighs and holding him in place as he dipped his tongue inside, he couldn’t get enough, he’d never get enough. Naruto tasted so uniquely like himself, beyond what Sasuke thought he’d taste like and he needed more of it. 

He trust his tongue in, trying to lap at the slick, his baby boy was turned on for him. He slipped a finger inside, followed by a second when the entrance gave in then he heard sobbing and pulled back, his fingers still inside and his alpha purred at the look of unadulterated pleasure on the blonde's face and the fat tears running down his cheeks. 

“Too much” he gasped. 

“No baby boy, not enough” The raven muttered as he rearranged himself and leaned forward and his hard cock rubbed against the abused entrance, a silent little gasp left the blonde's lips as his eyes opened and landed on Sasuke's dark gaze. 

“Oh– oh” He let out as he felt the raven raw, pushing in slowly–barely nudging his way in then pulling back “Yes, yes, yes, yes,” Naruto thought he was thinking the trail of yes’s but he was saying it out loud as he pushed back against Sasuke. 

The raven stilled himself “Fuck, fuck” he groaned as he pulled back, frustrated, he wanted to push in, wanted to push his bare shaft inside his baby boy and feel the blondes slick on him, wanted to spill inside and fill him. 

“Wha?” Naruto asked as the raven shifted around and pulled something out of the nightstand. Naruto saw as he rolled the condom over his straining erection and bit his lips to stop himself from telling him not to bother. 

Who would have thought Sasuke would be the one to keep a level head in this situation...he looked back up, gripped his thighs again, and positioned him just right “Ready baby boy?” he asked for consent one last time, and the blonde nodded his head reaching over to pull the man in for a kiss, not thinking he’d be as turned on as he was by tasting himself on the raven's lips.

He groaned into the kiss as Sasuke's girth breached him, and even though he was anatomically made for this he had to break the kiss and keen as he felt the raven stretch him on his way in “Woah–slow down a bit” He gasped out, between pants. 

Sasuke stopped for a second before a “ Fuck” left his lips, he willed himself to stop for a second before he slowly pushed the rest of the way in.

“Oh-my-can't–” The blonde's arms surrounded him as he buried his face in his shoulder resisting the urge to bite.

“You feel so good baby boy ” They both gasped a bit, as Sasuke gave a couple of barely there thrusts helping the blonde adjust “You ok?” He asked as Naruto finally resurfaced from trying to bury himself in his shoulder. 

“Yeah, you can move” He muttered with a nudge of his hips, which had the raven's eyes fluttering closed. He took a couple more breaths, it looked like the blonde hadn’t been intimate in a while and he didn’t want to hurt him. He wasn't going to lose it, he wasn't. He needed to make sure Naru enjoyed it just as much. He pulled the blonde into a slow-burning kiss willing himself to fall into a constant rhythm. 

The slow tempo increased as louder gasps and praises filled the room. His patience was rewarded as tan fingers gripped his hair and pulled him down for one kiss after the other, Naru moving his hips just right to meet his thrusts. He pulled back, lifting the blonde's hips off the bed and driving himself as deep as he could dragging a loud sob out of the blonde as he shook from the pleasure. 

“More” He let out breathlessly so Sasuke obeyed, as he pulled his cock out of the blonde and drove it back in relentlessly, his fingers digging into the tan hips, he wanted to rip the condom off and leave stains all over his baby boys insides, he wanted to bite. 

Bite him, take him, yours. 

“Al–Amph” The raven's eyes shot open and snapped down to look at the blonde covering his mouth. 

“Say it” He almost growled, his alpha wanting to take over, he needed to hear him say it.

However despite the pleasure and the absolute need in the blonde's eyes, he resisted “ Sas—almost there, god are you—are you getting bigger?” 

The raven let out a moan of his own as he felt his knot building, knot him, take him. 

Naruto keened as the knot caught in his entrance as it got bigger each time Sasuke drove it back in “Fuck—Sasuke is that–wait!”

“Fucking hell” the raven let out as he pulled back just in time, shaking as he emptied into the condom, his forehead falling on the blonde's shoulder and groaning as he felt his baby boy's nails dig into his back and scratch as he shook under him. 

He kissed him softly, almost reverently, before he dropped next to him, trying to catch his breath–he’d almost, fuck he’d almost knotted the blonde—what the hell? He pulled the filled condom off, goodness gracious he wasn’t even sure how the condom didn’t fucking rip, and chucked it in the trash by the bed. 

He looked sideways and stirred as his eyes caught the glassy eyes and swollen lips. 

Naruto turned to him, flushed from both the exertion and embarrassment. First, he didn’t even register Sasuke almost went in bare, then he felt disappointed that the raven grabbed the condom, and to top it off he was seconds away from getting knotted, he had better self-control, who even was he when he was with Sasuke? 

“Were you going to…?”

“I uh—didn’t mean to, I’d never without asking first but fuck baby boy you just” it was his turn to throw his arm over his face, “Your smell, your body, it’s like—” He stopped himself embarrassed. 

“Like what?” Naruto whispered, his omega content, he almost purred but stopped himself, closing his eyes and enjoying how his body was just sated. 

“It’s like I have no self-control around you” The raven muttered at last, as he dragged the blonde against him, the motion causing the slick to smear everywhere “Eww—I need to clean up before I ruin your sheets” Sasuke chuckled “Want me to lick it off you?” The blonde's eyes shot open as he stuttered “You wouldn’t” Sasuke was on top of him at record speed caging him in “Try me” 

“Oh gosh” he covered his face “You’re so embarrassing—get off so I can get a towel” 

The raven pushed him back into the bed “Stay, I got you” He said softly as he slipped off the bed and soon enough he was walking back into the room with a damp washcloth.

Naruto tried to reach for it but his hand got swatted away as Sasuke went about helping him wipe the excess slick off, not one bit bothered by the action. Naruto sat back and reached over for the oversized t-shirt slipping it on and biting his lip…what now? Would Sasuke want him to go? What time was it? How long had they slept before he lost his mind and technically seduced the raven?

Sasuke set the washcloth on the nightstand and slipped his pants on, his eyes falling on the adorable blonde, looking confused, thoroughly fucked, and absolutely adorable in his shirt, usually…usually this is when people took their leave, but earlier he’d fallen asleep so seamlessly he wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the blonde. 

“This is a little awkward” his eyes lifted to the blonde “We didn’t really talk about what happens after…about anything really” 

Naruto wasn’t used to just…fucking…and he was kind of afraid that Sasuke would just ask him to leave and never show his face at the library again—even if he knew that’s exactly what he was getting into the sudden fear hit him like a wave. This was it, this is where he would see Sasuke’s true intentions, and this is where his heart got broken. 

The shift from comfort to panic had Sasuke sliding back on the bed and pulling the blonde over his lap “Hey—hey don’t panic, we can talk about it now” 

“Were you waiting for me to leave just now?” The blonde asked softly. 

“No Naru, I—” Want to cuddle you until I fall asleep— “I was just looking at you baby boy, you should really let me take a picture, don't think I can commit it all to memory” He offered instead with a playful tone, hoping to ease Naruto’s sudden panic. 

The blonde let out a halfhearted chuckle “As if I’d let you take a picture” 

“Why not?” The raven asked rubbing his hand over the blonde's arm in soothing motions.  

“You want to keep seeing me like this you’ll have to invite me in person, why would I make it easy for you to—” He stopped, what was he even doing? 

“For me to what?” 

Use me 

Naruto thought for a second before he took a breath. No, he didn’t get to push this on the raven he was the one who said yes. He made the choice to cross the line, and ultimately he came on to Sasuke and begged him to take him like he had no damn self-control.

He moved off the raven running his hand through his hair and looking for the pants Sasuke had thrown across the room “I should go home—this was a mistake”

Sasuke panicked “Naru—just wait a second, take a breath” He’d waited so long, up until Naruto relented and gave him his phone, he had started to think that all this would ever be was playful banter and flirting. He couldn’t just go back to not touching him. 

“Sasuke—I—what even is this? Do you want to date me?” he was met with silence and a myriad of emotions from the raven. 

“I don’t date…I’ve never, why does it need to have a label?” he asked in exchange. 

“Why don’t you date?” Sasuke looked down at the floor like it was fascinating. 

The blonde stood waiting for an answer. Was it really all about the sex? Then he didn’t need him, he could have sex with anyone, but…why wouldn’t someone like Sasuke want someone just for himself, wasn’t it also alpha instinct to be overprotective of their partners? To want someone to claim as their own? Naruto thought back to the previous months, the way Sasuke paid attention to detail, the way he adjusted to make the blonde comfortable around him, the way he spoke to him, looked at him ...to Naruto it looked like he could give so much more, Sasuke could be an amazing partner...

But why should he try and lay down alpha rules on the raven when he himself was so hell-bent on being different? Still...he just couldn't push away the thought that…there was no way Sasuke got the comfort he needed just from purely fucking…

“I just don’t,” Sasuke said quietly at last. His hand still tightly squeezing Naruto's “Can't we just hang out? Can’t we just be? It as good wasn’t it?” he muttered softly. 

It was. That was the problem it was fantastic, mindblowing, it was addicting . He was ready to jump back on that bed so Sasuke could take him all over again. Maybe somewhere deep in his mind he had hoped it would be terrible–terrible enough to get him off the dark tall and handsome train–he’d hoped Sasuke would be overrated and instead he’d gotten exactly what was promised: mindblowing sex—and not only that, but the raven had shown him a whole other side he’d never seen. A side that made him like him even more.

“Yeah…it was good,” he said as he closed his eyes, their mingled smell was the best thing he’d ever smelled, and staying in the room where they’d just had sex wasn’t helping him regain his rationality.  

“Is there anyone else? Someone you’d like to be exclusive with?” Sasuke asked and the words somehow felt like acid on their way out. 

“No, but that’s not the issue here” The issue was Karin, the issue was every other omega the raven had fucked—could continue to fuck. 

"Can't we just see what this turns into first?" 

The raven saw the emotions run through the blonde's face as he moved his hair out of his face “I won’t ever lie to you, with me you’ll always get the truth, and I’ll never do anything you don’t want me to do—promise” 

He closed his eyes as he allowed his face to fall on Sasuke's chest. This was different…even if Sasuke didn’t want to label it right now, it was different…he knew exactly what he sounded like but he could feel it deep inside, his omega could feel it, and even if he walked out that door he’d end up right back on the raven's bed...so wouldn’t it be better to lay out his own terms?

“We’ll try it over winter break,” He said softly, before he took a step back to look properly at the raven “I don’t want you to just fuck me and kick me out, don’t call me into your room if it’ll smell like someone else, don’t try touching me if me if you smell like someone else, and just because I’m willing right now that doesn’t entitle you to have me whenever you want” The raven raised an eyebrow at the blonde, for someone that had no experience he was damn quick at coming up with his terms and conditions—He smiled, his thumb running over the blondes still swollen lips “Anything you ask for—I promise, everything is on your terms baby boy” 

The blonde blushed lightly, as the raven circled his waist and pulled him close “Now that we’ve talked about it, can we go back to bed?”

Naruto was up before Sasuke—again, he felt the blood rush to his face as he sat up and felt the soreness in his lower back.

He dropped his face in his hands, he couldn’t take it back, he didn’t want to, he wanted to keep having sex with the raven, talking to him, he wanted to...own those dark eyes...He wasn’t dating, he didn’t like anyone else…and the sex was amazing, he could handle this, at least he’d like to try...there were two possible outcomes, either it morphed exactly into what he wanted, or his feelings would force him out of the agreement eventually. 

Why wait until someone else tried showing him how serious they were only to end up cheating, only to end up moving on to the next (more willing) omega or beta, gatekeeping himself had gotten him just as much heartbreak. At least, if Sasuke was true to his word in this agreement he was in charge, he had the last word, and he wouldn’t be lied to.

He got off the bed trying to make his way to the restroom and stopped dead in his tracks as he spotted himself in the full body mirror, his neck, and chest were littered with hickies. He turned grabbing one of the pillows that had fallen on the floor and throwing it at the raven. 

“Sasuke!” Said raven opening his eyes, groaning as the pillow hit him, and sitting up on the bed still half asleep. The sleep left him soon enough, his eyes trailing the blonde’s flustered expression and falling on the purple little bruises on the tan neck. 

“What did you do ?” The blonde asked pointing at his neck, he smirked reaching over and pulling him back onto the bed. 

“Why are you upset? You were gasping so prettily and asking for more when I put them there baby boy” 

It’s like a fuse went out inside his brain and he sputtered nonsense. 

“You can’t just—you left so many ” 

“Mmmm only because I didn’t get to ask if biting was ok” 

Another fuse. As he blinked stupidly at the raven. 

“Wouldn’t you like that? For me to bite down as I pou—”  The blonde slapped his hand on the raven's lips, looking down and wondering when the hell Sasuke had rearranged him over his lap and noticing his morning wood pressing against his front. 

“ Again?” he asked kind of amazed at his own rising desire, and truthfully...happy that Sasuke couldn't keep his hands off him. 

“As many times as you’d let me” 

His stomach growled as he placed a hand on the raven's chest pushing back a bit “How about you feed me first, I’m starving” 

Sasuke hummed as he nosed the blonde's hair “Hmm you craving anything?”

Thirty minutes later they were sitting in the living room eating breakfast burritos, Sasuke was looking amused as the blonde swallowed two burritos in record time.

“Do you eat like that all the time?” He asked as he took a sip from his coffee.

“I'm sorry, are you shaming me?” Naruto raised an eyebrow at him as he took another bite. 

“I’m just asking”

“I had no dinner ok? Someone jumped me at work” 

“You wanna talk about jumping, what was it that you did in the middle of the night huh?” 

The blonde was red in seconds “You weren’t complaining last night”

“And I’m not complaining now, just saying we both played a part in your unintentional fasting,” He said with that insufferable smirk of his, he laughed softly as his eyes fell back on the TV, a random comedy playing. 

They both fell into a comfortable silence, Naruto was surprised, he thought it would be more awkward or that he would feel the need to fill the silence, once the food was gone and the coffee emptied, his head fell on the raven's lap and Sasuke’s fingers ran through his hair like it was the most natural thing in the world. 

He closed his eyes and hummed “You purring princess?” The raven’s voice cut through. 

“Humming,” He said with a small smile of his own. 

Sasuke opened his mouth but Naruto’s phone started ringing on the coffee table he moved from his lap to reach for the device. Crossing his legs as he picked the call up. 

“Hey—”

“Naru darling, where did you spend the night?” His mouth was left open for a few seconds and Sasuke perked up at the little wave of pheromones that hit him as the blonde remembered exactly where he’d spent the night and what he’d been doing.

“What do you mean?” He asked playing dumb. 

A small gasp “You really going to try and play it off? Like you could get off without telling me everything”

“Ino, how would you even know I didn’t go home” 

“Oh sweetheart, I went clubbing last night, after you turned me down because you’d be ‘exhausted from working two shifts’ and the environment wasn’t it, but I did drink a little too much and had no option but to crash at your place—which I found empty, and guess what? I woke up hungover ready for you to make me some breakfast and you still weren’t here” 

The blonde rubbed his face with his free hand. 

“You broke in” 

“It’s not breaking in if you have a key”

“It’s supposed to be for emergencies” 

The raven sat across from him catching words here and there, and chastising himself for wanting to growl when he caught on to the fact that this Ino had keys to the blonde's apartment—he really shouldn’t care.  

“Stop changing the subject!” 

“Did you finally get laid?---Oh fuck, wait a minute Naru did you actually sleep with him?” the blonde's eyes fell on the raven as he bit his lip. 

“I’ll talk to you later—don’t finish all my food” 

“Don't you dare hang up on me—was it a good la—” The blonde hung up on his friend and fiddled with the phone on his lap. 

“Did you catch any of that?” He muttered embarrassed. 

“Some” The raven let out “That your friend from the club? The other blonde?” 

“Uh–yeah how do you…”

“I remember her, she’s alpha, isn’t she? Just crashing at your place?” He tried his hardest to sound easygoing but he was just confused, at why he was feeling so angry, if the blonde just casually slept with others why would he make a big deal about sleeping with him? 

And if he didn’t casually sleep with others how could he trust this alpha so much as to give her a key to his house when he smelled so fucking good. 

“I’ve known Ino since freshman year, I trust her like that” Was Naruto’s simple answer “You telling me no one has a key to this apartment?” He asked 

Karin did…but that didn’t count, he hadn’t given it to her Juugo had, they were childhood friends and their apartment was closer to campus, she sometimes crashed there or stopped by to nap—well, she did start using the key more to just walk in and ask Sasuke if he wanted to fuck halfway through their freshmen year. 

He opened his mouth to say no then stopped “Karin does, but I didn’t give it to her Juugo did” 

Karin, that was the girl with the strawberry smell right? Naruto felt goosebumps run down his arms at how uncomfortable the idea of the redhead having a key and being able to slide into the raven's bed at any time made him. No wonder Sasuke always ended up smelling like her. 

“You three are close”

The raven shrugged “There’s a fourth, Suigetsu but the baseball team made nationals this year and ended up traveling during finals so he wasn’t at the library” 

“All four of you doing law?” 

“Yeah” 

“Must be nice having a group to always study with”

“What’s your friend studying?” 

“Entrepreneurship–she’s going to be one demanding boss” He smiled fondly “You’ve met Hinata,” He said and then regretted bringing her up instantly, two of the women that had been brought up in this conversation had already slept with the raven “She’s doing Secondary Ed” 

Sasuke reached out pulling the blonde onto his lap “You said you were doing Marketing right, don’t you have similar classes to Ino?” 

“Yes and no, I’m two different emphases in business really, and I’m also minoring in English that’s a completely different set of classes” he turned over so he could look up at the raven “Do you enjoy it?” 

“Law?” Sasuke asked and the blonde nodded “I suppose I’m good at it” 

“That’s not what I asked,” Naruto said softly 

“It’s not what I wanted at first but I think I’ll be really good at it—maybe I’ll go work for a competing firm” He finished with a smirk, his dad would have an aneurysm.

Naruto laughed amused “How much older is your brother?” 

“Are you going home for the holidays?” The raven asked changing the subject and the blonde dropped it. Sasuke very obviously did not want to talk about this brother. 

“No, check this out mom and dad are going on a cruise through the Mediterranean” he giggled “They’re so cheesy,” he said with an infectious smile. 

“What? no invite for you?”

“Like I’d want to be around to smell all those pheromones,” he said with a small shudder “Plus I think it’s high time they start enjoying themselves” 

“How about you, are you local? Going anywhere for the holidays?” 

“My family lives in town, but I’ll avoid going home if possible, usually I’d bring Juugo or Suigetsu with me to keep me from losing my mind but they’re both out of town so I’ll see if I can get away with just not going ” 

Naruto cringed a bit resisting the urge to ask ‘don’t you miss your parents?’ he missed his mom and dad all the time…

His phone buzzed.

I’m not leaving your apartment until you come back

Note I still have to pack to go home

So chop chop

Stop getting dick and come tell me all about it instead

“Oh my god I—” He flipped the phone over but it was too late Sasuke had already read the trail of messages and was laughing right by his ear, his low laugh sending shivers down his body. 

“Bossy” 

“I told you” the blonde replied 

“I should go say hi before she leaves” The raven made a noise that Naruto took for agreement on the back of his throat, and he slid off the couch and walked over to the door slipping his shoes on and grabbing his backpack. Sasuke stood patiently while he threw on his discarded sweater over the t-shirt he’d lent him. 

“I’ll uh–promise to return your clothes,” He said 

“I’ll hold you to that” a small hue of pink settled on the blonde's cheeks. 

The raven stopped Naruto from fully exiting the apartment as his hand gripped his wrist pulling him close and landing his lips on Naruto’s sucking on his bottom lip softly and licking the blonde's lips before he pulled back. 

“What are your plans for the rest of the break?” he asked.

“Probably becoming a licensed couch potato and getting caught up on my ever-growing list of shows to watch” 

“Sounds like something we could do together—if you’d like” The words made the blonde feel like liquid warmth. 

“I would like that”

“I’ll call you,” Sasuke said with a smile as he leaned down and kissed him one last time he walked back with a goofy smile and waved him goodbye.

Falling Hard 

Chapter 6: Flirting with Disaster 

“I’m sorry you agreed to what? —And what's this? W ho are you and what have you done with my best friend?” Ino asked as he manhandled his hoody to get a better look at the trail of hickies. 

“You’ve been begging me to get laid all semester long, why do you look so outraged?” he asked, moving out of her reach. 

“Darling, there is a difference between a one-night stand, and being fuck buddies” She walked around his living room while she rambled “This is more akin to being told not to touch a hot stove and purposedly putting your hand on it again” 

“Ok, now you’re just being a little overdrama—”

she interrupted him as she continued “If you’re fuckbuddies there is upwards of an eighty percent chance you catch feelings, ask anyone he’s sleeping with if they don’t hold on to the idea that maybe it could be more, ask—” she stopped herself, taking a breath. 

Naruto knew what she was about to say though… ask ‘Nata…

She groaned loudly running her hand through her blonde hair, and then walked over and tipped the blonde’s face up “I’m sorry Naru, it’s just, you already have feelings for him, I’m not sure you should do this with him of all people” 

“Ok, listen I know how this is going to sound” 

“Don’t you say it” 

“It just—it feels so good ”

“You’re spiraling”

“And I don’t mean just the sex, being with him–”

“Don't you dare say it” 

“I think it could be different between us”

“You fuckin said it”  she groaned as he let herself fall on the couch a little resigned for her friend.

He dropped down next to Ino on the couch and dropped his head on her shoulder “Ino…you really think he would have stuck it up by me all these months just to get laid…and he didn’t go all alpha rut on me…he was so nice…and if I’m being honest he was the one with the self-control” he blushed towards the end. 

She closed her eyes and took a small breath and frowned, her eyes snapping back open “wow—you reek of him”

He huffed “ Ino” 

She had plenty of open relationships or one-night stands herself and didn’t feel the need to scent them that badly…the only times when she’d wanted to scent her partner the way Sasuke had done to Naru was when…she liked them, liked them. But should she even mention that and raise Naru’s hopes? What if the raven really was spitting game at her friend to get him in bed? 

“I should stay” 

“No, you won't, you’ll be going home–just as you planned, and you’ll hook up with your high school frenemy and then you’ll be back after the break and tell me all about it, and I’ll tell you all about how whatever this is between Sasuke and I played out,” Naruto said from his spot on her shoulder. 

“Like I’d wait to talk to you until I’m back, I’m messaging every day—and expecting a reply” The blonde smiled at her “So alpha of you” she lifted her face a bit…Naruto and she weren't an item, but she was the closest alpha to him, and since Naru didn’t have someone it was up to her to look out for him. 

“Like you don’t break hearts,” the blonde said playfully trying to lighten the mood.

“That’s exactly why I’m concerned” she muttered, but then her grimace grew into a playful smirk, suddenly feeling like an insider by thinking more closely about the fact that not only had Sasuke heavily scented the blonde, but he’d visibly marked him. Hinata had never gotten to stay anywhere near as long with Sasuke after they fucked—from previous talks they’d had Sasuke would either go to Hinata’s or they’d just end up messing about around campus but the raven had never taken her back to his place. 

She should let this play it out—watch Naru beat all the other omegas around campus and finally…possibly…tie down the untamable alpha?

“So I must know before I go, was he as good as everyone says he is?”

Naruto smacked the raven’s hand “You wanted basic ass pepperoni and cheese, eat that and leave my supreme alone” 

“I'm sorry who bought the pizza?” Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow reaching for the slice again. 

“And who told you to get a full supreme and just to take off the extras?” Naruto muttered still fighting him off. 

“You’re being a little brat” 

“Am not”

“You picked the food”

“You asked!”

“And the show” 

“You’re the one that crashed on my couch potato marathon”

“Like you didn’t want me here” Sasuke’'s arm surrounded his waist and pulled him over his lap, slice of pizza forgotten.

“You like the show,” the blonde replied.

“The farting donkey was a little weird, and what kind of name is Mr.Nobody”

“I think it suits him! And I like the narrating and now we have to rewind the last 5 minutes because you’re distracting me” 

“Might as well make the rewind worth it” he dropped his face on the blonde's shoulder and inhaled, humming.  

Naruto literally melted into the man, despite the amount of touching that had taken place the last couple of days his heart was still threatening to beat out of his chest. 

He’d still panic in the middle of the night sometimes thinking that he was making a mistake, that he was fooling himself into believing his relationship with Sasuke would be any different than what he’d seen play over and over for the last two years. 

You’d think it was a cautionary tale, and here he was taking everything he said he wouldn’t do and throwing it out the window. But…it’s like he couldn’t physically say no to the man, it felt wrong. He felt a sort of peacefulness when Sasuke was there and the way Sasuke loved to smell him and how he’d let out calm and content pheromones the moment they were in the same room didn’t go unnoticed... 

It sounded like he'd never been in a serious relationship so maybe he just didn't know what something more serious looked like, felt like, and maybe he could tough it out if it meant Sasuke could see the difference? 

Oooooor like Ino said he was way over his head and the raven would set him aside once winter break was over.

“Baby boy?” He looked up “Sorry what?” 

“I lost you for a second there, should I be concerned you’re sitting on my lap and your head is still elsewhere?”  he said only half joking. 

The blonde laughed “Afraid you’re losing your touch?” 

“Am I?” His voice dropped an octave, and his hand had slithered under the Naru’s shirt ghosting his fingers over his belly. 

“H–Hey!” the blonde shrieked as he squirmed on his, and with seamless movements, he had the blonde pinned under him in seconds. His hands cupped the tan cheeks, Naruto couldn’t help but lean up asking for the raven’s lips. 

Sasuke’s phone started ringing and the raven resisted the urge to groan as he felt around for the device on the couch, he turned the caller ID and stilled on top of the blonde before he slid his finger across the phone to ignore the call. 

“Everything ok?” Naruto asked underneath him. Sasuke placed the phone next to them trying to ignore the buzzing and his hands were back on him pushing his sweatshirt up. 

But then the phone started ringing again and he quite literally groaned, trying to ignore it for a few seconds before he reached out for it again “sorry” he muttered as he sat on the couch. The blonde pushed the sweatshirt back down and sat up, crossing his legs and looking at the upset raven as he answered the call and put the phone up to his ear. 

“ What?” 

“Hanging up on mom? Real mature Sasuke” 

“I already said I wasn’t going” 

“You already skipped Christmas” 

Yes, he’d skipped Christmas and hadn’t regretted it one bit. Instead of listening to his dad’s snide remarks and probably opening a gift meant to be more of an insult rather than a gift he’d stayed in and cooked with Naru then they’d watched TV for all of thirty minutes before he’d ended up throwing his baby boy over his shoulder taking him to the bedroom. He’d taken him so many times they’d slept until past noon. 

Best.Christmas.Ever.  

“You know what’s going to happen if I go, no need to ruin the evening for everyone else” 

“ Sasuke— for mom ” Sasuke closed his eyes and his head hit the couch, Naruto squirmed in place as he caught some of the conversation, feeling every bit as much frustration as the raven seemed to be feeling.  

“Fine” 

“Call her back” 

“ Fine ,” He said a second time before he ended the call his forearm falling over his eyes as he took a couple of breaths not wanting to look as upset as he was. 

On the other hand, Naruto just felt the need to make it better, he hated to see the raven upset “You want me to go with?” Sasuke’s face shot in his direction eyes a bit surprised, and he covered his mouth “Umm sorry–that’s stupid forget I said anything” That’s New Year’s dinner why would he offer himself up to accompany the raven to something like that? 

Well, he’d said before Juugo and Suitgetsu would go with him…but it wasn’t the same, he wasn’t sleeping with them. He stood up from the couch, grabbing his empty cup and Sasuke’s 

“You want more water–I’ll get you more water” 

The raven reached out grabbing the blonde's wrist “You would?” Naruto looked down, shifting in place “Umm if you want me to, but you don’t have to say yes just because I offered it’s just—you look upset”

“You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into,” he said with a small smile, at the thought that Naru wanted to come with just to make things better for him… “Dinner is a Warzone” 

“I handle you just fine don’t I?” Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him “Do you now?” he smirked before he reached over for the blonde pulling him back down and tickling him. 

“Hey–Sas-Stop!” He let out between giggles, gasping for air “I’ll kick you I swear” he finally formulated and the raven was right there again, hovering over him and leaning down to kiss him “Thank you” he muttered at last.

Naruto was pacing about the sidewalk, nerves taking over a bit, it’s not like Sasuke was going to introduce him as his boyfriend…he’d just be introduced as a friend, not like he was meeting the raven’s family in an official capacity.

It was just…in the span of two weeks, Naruto was either at Sasuke’s or Sasuke was at his apartment, a day or two at a time because the raven would always drag him back and ask him to stay…Sasuke hadn’t been interested in calling anyone else over or seeing anybody else. 

He felt…cautiously hopeful…they just needed to work on Sasuke’s weird aversion to officially dating.

But, easier said than done over winter break right? With his friends gone for the break, he guessed that most of the ‘temptation’ or ‘opportunities’ weren’t present.  The real test would be when school started up again in January. 

“Baby boy!” He looked up from where he’d been pacing to see Sasuke had pulled up to the curve and he grabbed his small backpack and hopped in the car “You sure I should be bringing a change of clothes, maybe I should just uber back—”

“You put on blockers?” Naruto looked up to see the frown on the raven’s face, he looked visibly upset. 

“Uh-yeah well, I wasn’t sure, um since you smell like me” 

“So?” Sasuke asked still confused. 

“Your family would ask Sasuke…if you bring an omega home smelling like you, you can’t just introduce me as a friend”

Sasuke’s eyes widened a bit as realization hit him and he reached over for the blonde's hand squeezing it “I’m an absolute ass” he’d just been upset at the thought that he wouldn’t have Naru’s smell to ground him. 

His thick head hadn’t even thought about Naruto’s position, it wasn’t so much his family asking about whether they were involved or not, but if he said no Naru’s image in front of his family in front of the alphas present...

“It’s just–” the blonde blushed “you smell like me, but they uh-won’t know it’s me if they can’t smell me” they’d spend so much time together that it was impossible for their scents not to mingle. 

“No I’m being stupid, I was just thinking about myself, I’m sorry” he muttered feeling some unknown emotion settle at the pit of his stomach. He didn’t want to go home, he wanted to turn around and just go back to Naruto’s, he just wanted the blonde to lay on his lap while they watched TV. 

“Trying to say my presence isn’t enough?” Naruto asked playfully, not really taking offense to the little outburst, he knew exactly why the blockers had upset the raven, but he also had to look out for himself he didn’t want to expose himself to other alphas thinking they could expect the same he was giving Sasuke. 

“Naru sweetheart, promise me you’ll be careful”

“When am I not careful mom”

“I’m not just saying this because I’m your mom but you sweetie, you’re good-looking, smart and you attract alphas like a magnet” she moved some hair out of his face and gave him a warm smile before she got serious “Some people don’t understand what ‘no’ means hon,  Alphas can be such hot heads and University can get—”

“I know that already mom” he interrupted her “stop fussing, I’ll be ok” 

“Of course it is baby,” Sasuke said bringing him back from his memory, reaching for his hand and squeezing. 

Naruto didn’t want to ask if Sasuke would introduce him as a friend…it’d be nice even if he said they were friends but he had intentions…but he couldn’t get his hopes up like that. Coming wasn’t about him anyway…tonight was about Sasuke. He was hoping Sasuke’s family would like him, if they did maybe that could help soften the experience for the raven. 

“So…warzone you said” 

“I can’t even prepare you,” Sasuke said with a small groan “Just know dad will probably say the most inappropriate things”

“You say the most inappropriate things all the time” the blonde replied a small hue of pink settling on his face. 

That got a smile out of him “Get your head out of the gutter, baby boy” 

He laughed “Who’ll be there?”

“Uncles, cousins, girlfriends, mates, my family's hosting this year” 

He should have stayed home, yup. He shouldn’t have opened his big mouth and offered. But the fact that the raven’s usually well-masked pheromones were wavering reminded him why he’d offered in the first place. They pulled up to the Uchiha residence and his eyes widened a bit before he turned to the raven “We’re very good lawyers” Sasuke said looking a bit smug. 

“Not a lawyer yet,” Naruto said playfully. 

“You’re supposed to save me not join them” 

“Alright Obi-Wan calm down, just testing you a bit” he chuckled and after thinking for a minute he leaned over and kissed the raven's cheek. Sasuke looked over at the blushing blonde, in black chinos and a soft-looking white sweater, with a long black coat, and leaned over connecting his lips to his baby boys. 

The smell of desire washed over the blonde and he squirmed “ Sasuke , stop” he gasped as he broke the kiss squirming in his seat, praying to god the smell wouldn’t make him slick. 

“ Later ” Sasuke whispered by his ear before pulling back and balancing his pheromones calming himself “Who told you to look like that” he added with a smirk as he opened the door to the car. 

“You mean who told me to look decent? What did you want me showing up in jeans and a hoody” The blonde rambled as he walked next to the raven up the steps to the house.

Sasuke didn’t knock, he just walked in and the strong smell of mixed alpha pheromones hit Naruto so intensely it almost had him stumbling. 

“Oh, hey—shit I forgot you’ve got a pretty keen nose, we’re predominantly an alpha household except for mates the raven muttered, and suddenly he regretted bringing the blonde. It was like walking him into a den of fucking wolves. He thanked Naruto’s more leveled head that he’d worn the blockers, Naru was his to smell. 

“Sasuke darling!” Mikoto had been walking from the kitchen to the living room and spotted the pair by the door, she was on them so fast Naruto had to blink a couple of times. 

“You look so skinny, are you eating? I keep telling you to drive over so I can feed you some proper meals” she said as she fussed about the raven. 

“We cook at the apartment mom,” Sasuke said as he leaned over and kissed his mother on the cheek before she turned over to the blonde, “Sasuke said he’d be bringing a friend” He could see her wheels were turning as she looked at him and resisted the urge to squirm in place. 

“Naruto Uzumaki, thank you for having me Mrs. Uchiha” he reached out with his hand and Mikoto shook it offering him a smile. 

“Please come in! Everyone is already filtering into the dining room” she didn’t let go of his hand as she technically dragged him to the hallway and into the dining room. 

He blinked a couple of times as he walked in, first at the long dining table, then at the mix of what had to be Uchiha features, beautiful midnight black hair, long, short, tied up…and those dark eyes. He turned over as he got a bit flustered–-boy the Uchiha blood ran thick. 

“Nephew! We were wondering when you’d show!” A man with long wild dark hair said as he stood from the table and walked over pulling the raven into a bear hug. 

“Uncle Madara” Sasuke muttered with a small smile “Thought you and uncle were out of the country” 

“Well we do love surprises, consider our presence a present,” the man said with a jolly smile, making Naruto smile a bit in return. Then another man, as tall as Madara but with long straight dark brown hair walked up to Sasuke and kissed his cheek. 

“So good to see you godson” and he actually ruffled Sasuke’s hair. 

“Who’s a present old man?” someone not much older than them hollered from the table, Madara turned “Shisui you disrespectful brat!” Naruto chuckled lightly—but the laugh died on his lips when he locked eyes with the man next to Shisui and he spotted yet another raven, his chin-length hair framing his handsome face, his eyes just as intense as Sasuke's. 

“And you are?” The blonde snapped his eyes away from the raven and looked at Madara. 

“Naruto will introduce himself to everyone after you all let him have a seat” Mikoto interrupted “Now everyone sit down so we can start dinner” with that the woman took the blondes coat and ushered them to sit, he instantly dropped on the chair next to Sasuke.  

They ended up right across from Shisui, what could only be Sasuke’s father was at the head of the table and the man made a face before he turned to Sasuke “If you’re going to smell like your latest plaything you could at least do us the courtesy of wearing blockers” 

Naruto sat there a little stunned, the man hadn’t even bothered to welcome his son…and then to call him out like that with a table full of family members...His instant reaction was to reach under the table his hand reaching for Sasuke’s. Choosing to ignore the whole plaything comment at the moment. 

The man's sharp eyes fell on him next “And you are?” Mikoto who sat to the side of Sasuke’s father looked between the two men looking flustered. 

The blonde opted to offer everyone on the table a smile before he directed his stare at Fugaku “Very nice to meet you Mr. Uchiha, my name is Naruto, Sasuke and I go to the same University I appreciate him inviting me since my family was out for the holidays traveling” 

“Sasuke can actually make more friends other than taller, piranha and strawberries?” Someone else said around the table 

“Obito” The man Naruto had locked gazes with earlier said in a calm tone that sounded more like a warning. 

“Strawberries don’t count,” Shisui said in a sing-song voice. 

“Don’t tell me you’re not thinking the same thing ‘tachi” Obito retorted. 

“We’ll she’s the only one we know so, tell us the truth Sasuke, is K actually endgame?” Sishui asked

“She’s doing law as well isn’t she?” Mikoto asked

Naruto was so, so, so thankful for the blockers in that instant. Or else the whole table would be smelling undiluted jealousy as he looked down at his empty plate. He was the one here, not Karin. 

It was the raven's turn to squeeze his hand—an apology he assumed. 

“Sasuke can do better,” he said without thinking—well shit, he wasn’t being obvious at all huh. 

“Oh, can he?” Obito asked with a smirk. 

“Well with every single omega at school hoping for a chance I’d say so” he muttered softly.

“Must be exhausting losing game to him all the time” Shisui said, assuming Naruto was beta as Sasuke had. After all, an alpha was usually proud of advertising their secondary gender and why would any omega willingly cover his scent instead of looking for an alpha to claim him—he almost rolled his eyes. 

“Sui!” Mikoto barked “This is not a topic for the dining table” 

“Wouldn’t be a subject of conversation if your son at least tried to hide it” Fugaku added with contempt. There really was no reason for the man to be so hostile, at least the cousins said it playfully…

“Ah my nephew is quite handsome Fugaku, what’s he to do with all the pretty omega’s that fight for his attention? We were all young once” Madara said from next to Sasuke and squeezed the raven’s shoulder. Naruto could see Sasuke closing his eyes probably wishing they’d never come before he leaned over “Sorry Naru” he muttered quietly so only he could hear.

The food got passed around and other conversations filtered through the table, he was just glad it seemed like Sasuke wasn’t the center of attention anymore. 

Sasuke passed him the stuffing and he shook his head “No thanks” 

“You don’t like stuffing?” he asked. 

“It’s just—why is there pineapple in it” Sasuke actually smirked and Naruto sat up straight. 

“Nu-hu! We’re not going down the pineapple in pizza rabbit hole again, fruits don’t belong in savory food” 

“Tomato is a fruit, you eat spaghetti don't you?” Sasuke retorted. 

“But we think of tomato as a vegetable, pineapple has always been a fruit, like, why are people mixing strawberries and lettuce for salad it makes no sense ”

The raven was about to reply but then stopped looking at how serious Naru looked and couldn’t help but laugh, holding in the desire to lean over and kiss the small pout on his lips as he looked at the stuffing on his plate no doubt mad dogging the pineapple. 

Naruto looked up and noticed the table had gotten eerily quiet “What?” he asked. 

“That’s the most we’ve ever heard Sasu speak” Obito shoved a forkful of food into his mouth. 

The blonde laughed “Maybe here, he talks plenty at school” he said. 

“Of course, he’d be socializing instead of studying since we’re footing the bill, I told you, you should have applied to the accelerated program and you’d be graduating already, Itachi’s been having to do all the hard work since you’ve decided to take your sweet time” 

The man tipped his glass at the mid-length-haired handsome raven and even his ice-cold eyes warmed.  Naruto squirmed in his seat at how uncomfortable the difference was between how he treated Itachi and Sasuke. He’d seen Sasuke’s grades, he’d gotten straight A’s on a packed five-class schedule…what was he complaining about?  

“ Dad can you not, ” Itachi said as he closed his eyes looking annoyed

“And I said I wouldn’t rush through college just so you could complain about how I still didn’t do well enough” The raven replied,

“What exactly did I do differently with you?” The older man asked as he shook his head and looked away from Sasuke. 

“Can we just eat?” Sasuke let out frustrated, he could start a fight, but Naru deserved better than to have to sit through that.  

After the table fell silent again for a couple of minutes Itachi broke the silence“Sorry, bet you’re thinking dinner at home alone might have been better,” he said from across them and a couple of laughs filled the table, including Naruto’s. 

“Honestly my grandparents always end up fighting” Naruto offered hoping to lighten the mood around the table. 

“Yeah?” Itachi asked,

“You know they fight over whose child got the best catch like my parents haven’t been happily married for twenty years” he giggled. Honestly, he was glad according to his mom at first it was really tense since well, his dad did knock her up…an unmated, unmarried omega. It was nice that over the years they’d seen his parent's relationship and had eventually accepted his dad. 

“What do your parents do?” Mikoto asked with a small smile 

“They now own a small business back at home, it’s the happiest I’ve seen them, they took a chance when I came to college” 

“Of course, they had to make sure their baby was set up for success first, do you have any siblings?”

“What’s their small business?” Fugaku asked and Sasuke stiffened next to him. 

“I’m an only child, probably a good thing, apparently I have a bit of an attitude and don’t like to share,” He said lightheartedly. 

“Naruto’s parents sell local honey” Sasuke answered for the blonde.

“Mom also bakes bread sometimes to bring to the farmers market, they also got chickens so they added eggs to their produce” Naruto smiled as he remembered the last time he was home for the break–those damn chickens were a pain in the butt to put back in the coop.

“So farmers,” Fugaku said unimpressed, and Naruto gripped the fork in his hand, reminding himself that he was here to prevent the fights not start them. 

“For someone that always bugs me about manners, your’s are shit,” Sasuke said with a tone that made shivers run down his spine…and admittedly his heart did a little backflip at the fact that Sasuke had been taking shit from his dad most of the night but the moment he dragged him into it he snapped back faster than a viper. 

Still so much for keeping the peace—the blonde thought as he saw Fugaku grow red. 

“Do you all practice law?” Naruto blurted out before Sasuke’s dad could reply and Mikoto actually threw him a grateful glance as Madara began answering his question, everyone on the table sort of banding together to diffuse the situation.

Somehow they managed not to step on any additional landmines over dinner, and for the remainder of the night, as everyone drank and talked, the raven just made sure to stay away from his dad, talking to his uncle and other family members or finding quiet corners to sneak small touches at the blonde here and there. Sasuke tried turning his mom down multiple times but she insisted they spend the night just as he predicted.

“I should drive Naruto home” 

“Naruto can stay too–c’mon darling, you two have been drinking and you rarely ever come home anymore” 

Sasuke looked past her and towards the living room “you know why” 

She looked like she’d start crying and the raven let out a breath before he leaned forward kissing her forehead “Alright mom, We'll stay, just need to grab something from the car” 

She nodded before she looked at Naruto “Don’t let him leave and don’t you leave either” 

“I won’t Mrs. Uchiha” 

He followed Sasuke out taking a big breath of cold air—damn was the tension tight as a rope every time Fugaku and Sasuke crossed paths—before he knew it the raven was pushing him against the car and his lips were on his prying them open “Mphh–” he melted into Sasuke’s taste, his hands running up his cashmere black sweater. 

“You ok?” he asked softly as Sasuke's forehead fell on his shoulder. 

“He’s always such a fucking asshole” he muttered. 

“Yeah, I can’t really disagree” he replied without hesitation which caused the raven to raise his head before laughing, leaning down to place another small kiss on the blonde's lips “There’s a shower in my room,” he said softly, Naruto blushed “Your whole family is in the house” 

“Won’t be long before they’re all passed out, they’ve all been drinking like its a race” the blonde snickered “You implying I shouldn’t sleep in the guest room as is respectable” 

“Not really implying but straight up asking,” Sasuke said with a smirk.

Falling Hard 

Chapter 7: Disaster

Naruto closed his eyes welcoming the steaming water against his skin, they’d gotten his small bag with his clothes from the car and walked past a couple of Sasuke’s cousins already passed out on their way to the second floor ‘told you’ Sasuke had said smugly making him chuckle. 

He turned around startled when the door to the shower slid open “I’m sorry there’s something called privacy” He muttered without any bite because the way Sasuke was already looking at him turned his legs to jelly. 

Sasuke walked over to him his hands falling gingerly on his waist the stream of water hitting him turning him into a wet adonis. 

“It’s really not fair you know” he muttered

“What?” Sasuke asked

“You” was his simple answer because the way Sasuke looked wasn’t fair, the way he smelled, the way he was, everything. 

The raven nudged him out of the stream and against the shower tile “You can’t smell like that baby boy, you’re doing things to me” 

“You’re the one that asked me to shower” he let out softly as Sasuke gripped his jaw lifting his face so they could lock eyes “I want you” his thumb ran over his lips. He sucked the digit into his mouth and swirled his tongue watching Sasuke’s eyes grow darker as his other hand slithered from his waist to his ass kneading at the skin, and slowly almost tortorously he slid his fingers in and nudging at his entrance smearing the slick that had gathered there and easily making their way in. 

Sasuke enjoyed the way Naruto looked as his thumb nudged his mouth open holding his tongue down, flushed face and want in his eyes, in the air—his smell growing more citrucy the more he teased him— fuck, his baby boy was a damn piece of art. He slipped a third finger in as he released his hold on the blonde's jaw so he could get them both off as he fingered the blonde. 

“Sasuke” Naruto muttered as he felt his legs almost give under him with the raven relentlessly attacking that little spot inside of him that made him see sparks behind his eyes. 

“Look at me princess” Sasuke muttered as he sped his movements, Naruto’s head hit the back of the tiles and deep blue eyes met Sasuke’s “Who’s making you feel good baby?”

“Yo–Ah–you, Sas–” 

“How good?” Sasuke asked eating up the sight of the blonde, that smell. 

“So–fuck–” the blonde's hips faltered as he tried pushing back against the raven’s digits  “ So good but I—uh–inside ”

And that did it for the raven, Naruto followed right behind him, ridiculous amounts of cum hitting their bellies. The blonde leaned over and latched on to the gland on his neck teething at it and licking as they rode their orgasm.

Little gasps filled the steam-filled shower only for a few seconds before Sasuke helped the still half-dazed omega rinse, toweling him dry and dragging him to the bedroom, nudging him towards the bed, and quickly reaching into his bag and grabbing a condom. 

“ Yes,” Naruto keened, for the first time ever thanking alpha hormones for the sometimes nonexistent refractory period. Sasuke was on top of him and pushing forward in no time and he felt like he was fucking home. 

He was goddamn done and ruined for anyone else the way Sasuke fucked him so thoroughly he thought as he gripped the raven’s shoulders and swirled his hips so he could meet his thrusts.  

“Sas’ke, s’ke, so good” He muttered as he placed kisses all over the raven's neck, licking and sucking, his fingers now digging into dark tresses. 

“Do you want to bite baby boy?” Sasuke’s voice, rough with pleasure rang by the shell of his ear and he gasped and groaned into the raven's neck almost sobbing. 

“Do you want to come inside daddy?” He asked surprised they could keep this stupid banter in the middle of sex. 

It had started when Naruto had told Sasuke he wanted to talk about things he wasn’t comfortable doing, no sex without condoms, no biting, no commands, and no presenting. If Sasuke wanted him to present the least he could do was properly date him. 

But the raven had retaliated by asking for these things in the middle of sex when Naru was lost in all the pleasure and his omega was screaming at him to do everything he told the raven he wouldn’t do. The questions spiked his need and made him feel like he’d tip right over at the thought of actually doing them. 

The raven would never do any of it, he was just being a fucking tease, but Naruto had figured two could play the same game. He bit into his lip hard enough to draw blood as the felt Sasuke coming and he spilled at the thought that Sasuke all but fell apart thinking about coming bare inside of him. 

Sasuke sucked his bloody lip into his mouth and sucked, and he hummed closing his eyes entirely spent. He barely registered when the raven helped wipe him and he somehow managed to slide his t-shirt over his head before he dropped down on the bed. 

Sasuke’s pheromones reached him, calm, content…happy…as he slid into the bed after him and pulled him over so he could lay on his chest. 

“Thanks—for coming with, I know that wasn’t easy” 

“Mmmm” was the blonde's lazy response as he rubbed his cheek on the raven's shirt. He didn’t want to think about any of the topics that had been brought up…about Karin, or being ‘just friends’ with Sasuke, he just wanted to bask in his afterglow and Sasuke’s smell. 

Even without smelling him…his presence there throughout the night had helped the raven, and that made him feel all sorts of butterflies.

Naruto poked his head out of the room and made his way down the stairs. He’d gotten up feeling like he’d gone days without drinking water, and there was none in the room. He managed to find his way back to the kitchen.

He downed the first glass and stood by the peninsula as he slowly sipped his second glass. The light switch he’d left off flickered on and he barely managed not to drop the glass as he jumped in place. 

“Shit”

“Sorry, did I scare you?” Naruto’s reply got caught on his lips as his eyes fell on Itachi, he was wearing well-fitted grey sweats and a black t-shirt which did nothing to hide the raven’s physique. Earlier everyone was in the same room and all Naruto’s omega could throw at him was ‘alphas’ and a mix of smells.

But now the smell that reached him was that of pines and fresh snow. 

“Yeah–you’ve ruined my incognito mission I was never supposed to be here” he finally let out jokingly shaking himself out of his thoughts as the older raven went about getting a glass of water for himself.

Itachi laughed softly, settling at the opposite end of the peninsula from where he was, leaning his elbows on the table and fiddling with his cup. 

“I was hoping I’d get a word with you throughout the evening but Sasuke wouldn’t even introduce us properly” He set the cup on the table and reached out “Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke’s older brother” 

Naruto reached out and shook the raven’s hand “Naruto" 

“So Sasuke’s friend?” He asked with a small smile. Naruto felt the heat rise to his face as he realized he’d showered and they’d fucked. Itachi could probably smell his brother on him…so much for his level head. 

“Umm,” What was he supposed to say? 

“Sorry I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable” Itachi's eyes fell on the cut on his bottom lip for a second before they drifted back to his face. 

“Are you two dating?”

 What was this? Twenty questions?

“Why don’t you say anything?” he asked instead a little irritated, he didn’t want to think about what the relationship was between Sasuke and him “When your dad attacks him like that?”

“I tried–in the past, I always somehow made things worse” Itachi's eyes fell to the glass and Naruto felt sadness reach him for a second, “He thinks it’s tough love, but I know it doesn’t go unnoticed by anyone that he obviously has a favorite”

“No shit,” Naruto said with a roll of his eyes “What do you think that does to Sasuke though, especially if your dad has always treats him like that” the blonde muttered without thinking…that’s why Sasuke always felt like he couldn’t measure up…Itachi offered him a small grimace in exchange. 

“He says he doesn’t care what dad thinks but he also completely ignores what mom and I have to say—moron” 

“Which is?”

“That he’s smart and driven, and every bit as talented as I am, his issue is that he can’t stop comparing and just own who he is—but let me try and say that to him without getting my head bit off” Itachi rolled his eyes and Naruto laughed softly his tension and irritation fading as he caught honesty from the raven. 

Itachi looked at the clock, it was a little past four in the morning, and he moved about the kitchen pulling a container out of the fridge “You want hot chocolate?” he asked and chuckled as the blonde's smell hit him before his answer did. 

“I’ll take that as a yes,” he said with a smile. 

“Hot chocolate is a bit of a weakness” Naruto muttered as he moved by the stove “Can I help?”

“Its ok chocolate was already made, I’m just warming it up, want whipped cream?” The blonde nodded, “It’s by the door on the fridge” 

He grabbed the whip and turned to see Itachi come out of what looked to be the pantry with a clear container full of mini marshmallows.

Itachi smirked at him “Stop!” He said putting the whipped cream on the counter and covering his face, he wasn’t used to people reading him like that, since he usually had blockers on.

The raven poured the chocolate and soon enough they were sitting on the peninsula sprinkling marshmallows and topping the cups with whipped cream. 

“You’re really not that bad” He muttered as he happily sipped from his hot cocoa.

“So hot chocolate is all it took for your defenses to crumble—”

“Ok I said you weren’t that bad, don’t get ahead of yourself,” he said as he stuck his tongue out. 

Itachi pushed the whole container of marshmallows toward him and he burst out laughing “You can’t buy me with marshmallows” 

Then he pushed the can of whipped cream over “You think you’re funny huh?” He said with a playful smirk. 

He really was Sasuke’s bother, damn if Itachi wasn’t ridiculously charismatic.

“Naru?” The blonde turned to the side in order to see Sasuke walk into the kitchen and stop dead in his tracks as he saw Itachi sitting across from him. 

“I—” woke up and you weren't there “How long have you been up?”  

“Not really up, I wandered down looking for water but couldn’t turn down hot chocolate—” 

“And whipped cream” Sasuke couldn't help but smile a bit as he looked at the blonde. 

“Want some?” Itachi asked.

“No thanks,” Sasuke replied grabbing a glass of water, before pulling another stool out and sitting next to the blonde while yawning.

Naruto knew Sasuke must have come down looking for him so he rushed to finish the cocoa “Thanks Itachi, but I’m not really a morning person and I’m about ready to melt back into bed” 

“Sure get some rest,” The older raven said “Leave the cup there I’ll wash it” he added when he saw the blonde eyeing the sink. 

“You–”

“I'm sure” he added before Naru could finish the sentence “Reading my mind now?” he said as he put the cup back down on the peninsula. 

“I’ll head back up with you,” Sasuke said as he stood and followed behind the blonde, they’d barely gone through the door and Sasuke’s arms were sliding through his waist and pulling him against him, burying his face in his nape. 

“You should have woken me up”

He turned on the raven's arms “I’m perfectly capable of grabbing water by myself and your brother was nothing but pleasant”

“Of course, it’s Itachi” 

Naruto punched the raven's shoulder lightly “Hey! You know what I mean” he leaned up to kiss him “You know, your brother cares for you, you shouldn’t let your dad come between you two” Naruto had a feeling they'd make a fearsome team those two. 

“I know, it’s not—when it’s just us we do fine”

“Super obvious by that exchange downstairs” 

“Stop giving me attitude and come to bed princess” the raven smirked a little “Give me some of that hot cocoa” His baby boy blushed just as expected as he led him back to bed.

“Are we having Happy New Year sex?” The raven asked as he pulled the blonde back into bed for a second time to stop him from getting up. 

“That’s not what we did last night?” Naru asked sounding outraged. 

“For the third time,” The raven added and he giggled.

“Stop! It’s gonna get suspicious if we don’t head down for breakfast” with what will hopefully be a room full of hungover people too tired to ask too many questions he thought to himself. 

They had no such luck, Uchiha’s were a different breed and all of Sasuke’s cousins and uncles looked refreshed and well-dressed. Thankfully Sasuke’s dad had opted to just ignore him. which was still shitty but it kept everyone else from slipping into awkward silence every fifteen minutes. 

Naruto thought they were about to make it out without any incidents until Itachi caught up to them as they headed for the door. 

“Can I have your number?”

There was a moment of stunned silence as his eyes widened. 

“Oh Ummm” he looked to the side to see every head in the living room looking their way, Shisui even whistled. He turned back to Sasuke looking at him waiting for him to say something.

To claim him. 

But the raven only stiffened and remained quiet, his pheromones locked down and guarded. 

Itachi turned over to Sasuke “You two are just friends, right?” he asked.

“Yeah,” Sasuke said quietly “We’re just friends” and Naruto felt like his ears were ringing, it was like the air had gotten knocked out of him. 

He had to work so hard not to let the emotion show on his face as he extended his hand to ask for Itachi’s phone “Yeah, if it’s not weird for Sasuke I guess I could give you my number” he said as he plastered a fake smile on his face and input his number on Itachi’s phone. 

“Thank you, I’m honored” What exactly was Itachi playing at? He’d smelled him the night prior, he knew exactly what his relationship was with his brother. And what else had he possibly been expecting from Sasuke?

He offered Itachi s a small smile as he nodded his head and more cat calls and whoops reached their ears from the living area “Aunty Mikoto, you’re missing it Itachi’s spitting game” 

“Uncle Fugaku will lose it when he hears Itachi asked a beta for his number” Obito added.

“We should really get going,” Sasuke said as he reached over and grabbed Naruto’s hand, his own hand slightly shaking as he nudged him towards the exit.

Most of the ride back was quiet, the tension growing and spiraling in the car. 

Eventually, Naruto couldn’t bear the pressure and broke the silence as they got closer to his apartment “Sasuke...”

“ Why? Why did you give him your number?” 

“Don’t raise your voice, why should you be the one upset, I’m the one that had our ‘friends’ status shoved right down my throat in front of your whole family”  he turned over to the raven “You could have said we were getting to know each other or something!”

“Why didn’t you say it? Did you want his number, middle of the night chat and all?” Naruto felt like he could fucking punch the raven. 

“Why would I have to say it huh Sasuke? Didn’t I ask if you wanted to date me and you said no?” 

Whatever the raven was about to reply died on his lips, he felt the anger filter through his body, that was Naru’s number, why should Itachi of all fucking people have his baby boy’s number.  

“Four months,” the raven said quietly as Naruto sat next to him seething, he turned to look at a flustered Sasuke as they pulled up to his apartment complex “That’s how long it took me to get your number” 

“But why did it take four months Sasuke?” He asked before he let out a frustrated breath and opened the door “And all of it so I’d end up compromising to your terms” he finished as he closed the door and walked up the steps. 

“But of course, he only had to ask once” Sasuke muttered into an empty car as he let his forehead fall on the wheel taking a couple of deep breaths, he hadn’t felt like crying in such a long time. 

As he was driving home the text message popped on his screen. 

23 and those are the ones I saw. 

“Fuck” Sasuke muttered as he dropped the phone back on the cup holder feeling like he wanted to fucking crawl out of his skin. 

Fighting with Naru made him feel like he was swallowing sand.

Naruto wiped away angry hot tears as he slammed the door to his apartment closed and walked over to his room. 

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. 

Such a dumb thickheaded alpha. 

He dropped on his bed sobbing, throwing his arm over his eyes, his omega whining go back. 

No. 

Go back. We need him. 

Like hell.

Sasuke needed to apologize, it’s not like he didn’t fucking know why it would hurt Sasuke that Itachi of all people asked for his number. But if Itachi asking for his number wasn’t enough to drive Sasuke to claim him then what the fuck would? 

He wiped more tears away, the anxiety slithering through him was relentless. 

Claim him...

Why the hell did he keep using that word? He didn’t want to be claimed…he didn’t want to be owned, he wasn’t something to be owned he was more —and still, for the first time ever…he got butterflies thinking about a bond mark—about belonging to someone.

To Sasuke

He groaned and smothered his face with a pillow. 

Guess he could have said he was already dating someone…maybe part of him had given Itachi his number to test the raven, and now they were both upset. 

Feelings and desire and need and mates….alphas, betas, omegas. 

It was all a fucking circus.

Note: I do not know the process for law school and I am not able to deep dive into the process (I barely have time to sleep as is) so I'm making a loooooot of stuff up. Hopefully, it's nothing too far fetched and it would stop you from continuing to enjoy the story <3

Rating: M (Explicit): well you all know how the last one ended so, maybe our boys need to do some talking.

Falling Hard 

Chapter 8: Damage Control 

I’m sorry 

The blonde had been staring at the text on and off for a day, he put the phone away again pretending like he was actually paying any attention to the book he’d been trying to read. Spoiler alert he gave up on the book and tried watching TV instead—that didn’t go well either. 

Baby boy, please can we talk?

Came through the second day. 

He’d been single and perfectly self-sufficient for more than a year, he’d only spent a little over two weeks with the raven and he didn’t know what to do with himself. 

The doorbell saved him from having to rewind the episode he was watching for the fourth time, he tried to remember if he was expecting any packages—no way he had fallen prey to retail therapy already. 

He opened the door and blinked at the raven standing by his door, shuffling in place, drink carrier in hand. 

“You better not be here to get laid,” the blonde said and Sasuke felt the hole in his stomach grow bigger at the apprehension in the blonde's pheromones. 

“Naru no, listen, you don’t have to let me in if you’re not ready I just—I was a fucking asshole I know that, I’m sorry” 

He took a breath and leaned his head on the half-open door closing his eyes for a few seconds. 

“Come in,” He said as he finally stepped back making space for the raven to walk in, his omega purring in reaction to the hope in the raven’s pheromones. After hesitating for a second he closed the door feeling resigned. 

He’d just become every omega he’d ever judged. 

How’s that for fucking Karma?

“Naru” The raven reached for the blonde's hand when he saw the teary blue eyes, but the blonde stepped back, moving his hand out of reach. 

Sasuke let out a sigh, putting the drinks by the coffee table “I’ll go” 

“No, sit” Naruto almost ordered, he couldn’t take the pressure anymore, he felt like he was falling but never hitting the ground…he didn’t want to fight anymore. 

 It should have been all types of wrong for an alpha to obey a command like that from an omega. Yet Sasuke obediently sat, the blonde propped down, grabbing the hot chocolate and fiddling with it. 

Even as angry as he was—just Sasuke sitting in his living room was all it took for the hurricane of emotions that had been battering him for the last two days to settle. 

He stared at the cup, willing the tears down “I didn’t give my number to Itachi to upset you—” he looked up his eyes meeting Sasuke’s “Or maybe I did, subconsciously and I know it was shitty but…the way you so easily brushed me off as your friend…”

“I regret it" the raven said softly "I-I replay the whole thing in my head over and over, wishing I’d said something, you’re right to be angry” He made to grab the blonde's hand again then stopped, his hand dropping back to his knee “you went there for me, and I—I was so immature and, I’m so sorry I hurt you ” It was true, he should have told Itachi to back off. But he’d been so shocked he’d fallen into what was comfortable—nonchalance, distancing himself from how scary it was that it was Itachi of all people asking the blonde’s number. He shouldn’t have done that, he should have stood his fucking ground. 

He should have told Itachi Naru was… more.

The blonde's heart did a small flip and Naruto almost groaned, that’s all it takes? He half asked, half scolded his inner self. He was in so much trouble. 

His eyes fell on the raven “I can’t just be your friend Sasuke, I don’t think that’s what we are at all” Sasuke was such a dense, dense asshole, how long would it take before he realized what he felt for him, or maybe he was the dense idiot, seeing something there that wasn’t there. 

“I know” The blonde couldn’t keep up with the flood of emotions wafting from the raven “I’ll be better” for you, I want to be

If you want to be better then be mine Naruto thought but the uncertainty, the frustration and the fear he felt from the raven kept him from voicing his thoughts out loud. 

“Can I?” It was a weird sight to see Sasuke so submissive, his hand reaching out to him asking for permission.

What was he to do, he was a stupid idiot in love already. 

He didn’t have the guts to say any of what he actually wanted to say, he couldn’t bear to ask to be exclusive again and risk hearing the word ‘no’ he just wanted to feel right. 

So he nodded and felt himself relax as the raven pulled him over his lap and buried his face in his neck “I hate you” he muttered as he put the untouched drink down and buried his own face on the raven’s neck—that was a much better substitute for I love you.

Sasuke looked down at the sleeping blonde, it had taken a couple of days before he’d let him take him again. He shoved down his frustration every time Naruto pushed him. It wasn’t so much that he was upset that his baby boy rejected the sex.

It felt like the blonde was rejecting him. 

And it hurt. 

He’d been in complete denial because he’d never felt like that before…when it was just sex it didn’t matter…It didn’t matter if they were angry or disappointed in the end…it was so easy for him to tell them he’d been clear in his intentions when they asked to keep seeing him or when they asked for more. He’d never felt compelled to stay, it was easier to move on before they moved on…to possibly someone better.

He’d started sleeping around as a distraction from the expectations and the disappointment, but not only had it felt good but he was good at it, omega's and beta’s kept seeking him out and he couldn’t get enough. 

Naru was the biggest high of them all, taking his baby boy no matter how many times just made everything—just right—but just like he could make everything feel perfect he had the power to make him feel like he had no control, the blonde moved the floor from under him, he had all the cards and he probably didn't even know it...

And that was terrifying for him. 

He should have ended it. The moment he felt like spiraling thinking about whether Itachi had called Naruto and maybe that’s why he wouldn’t answer his text message…He should have called it quits. 

He moved blonde hair off Naru’s face and laid back down pulling him close. 

He couldn’t. 

What if he wasn’t good enough? What if no matter how hard he tried he couldn’t be what Naru needed? Would his failure hurt more if he gave in and started dating him? 

“Sk’e”

“Good morning” he muttered kissing a small love bite he’d left on the back of the blonde’s nape and he instantly burrowed back into him further “Mmm five more minutes” Sasuke smiled fondly, wondering how the blonde ever managed to make it to work or class when school was in session. 

“I’ll make coffee,” He said as he kissed his temple and slid off the bed.

“Yay” 

A couple of minutes later Naruto surfaced from the room wrapped in his blanket and he felt his alpha purr, his baby wanted to be wrapped in his scent, and when he was gone, he’d get to keep Naru’s scent himself. 

He grabbed the toasted bagels and cream cheese spread on a plate with one hand, and the coffee mugs in another and walked over to the living area putting everything down on the coffee table. 

Naruto reached over excitedly “I love blueberry bagels, have you tried the strawberry spread from that little bagel place a couple of streets from campus? I think it's literally called The Spread”

“I haven’t” he replied with a small smile, Naru always got so excited over the smallest things. 

“You know we should go—” when the semester starts the blonde stopped mid-sentence. 

“We should, what’s your class schedule like?” Naruto perked up, they hadn’t talked about what would happen when school started back up, and with only three days left for break…he was getting antsy again. 

They both talked about their schedules for the semester, picturing what their weeks would probably look like ”But you know I still need to get my work schedule for the library” the blonde laughed softly "Semester hasn't even started and I'm already exhausted" 

Sasuke was…upset? He liked the library it’s really where he’d spent a lot of his free time with the blonde over the past semester. But now that he had Naru crosslegged on his couch sipping from his coffee mug he wished there was more time for them to be just like this.

“Was your schedule this packed last semester?” He asked. 

The blonde gave him an airy laugh “Why do you think I melt into the couch every chance I get? You’re one to talk you registered for six classes, one of them is mock trial too…” Naruto bit his lip, mock trial was going to be not only hard but time-consuming.

Sasuke had told his dad he wasn’t going to rush through anything just to please him…but his actions kind of told another story.

“If I get through mock trial this semester I can intern both semesters next year,” Sasuke said with a shrug like he hadn’t chosen one of the hardest classes to top on his already full schedule. 

“Hey” Sasuke looked and felt like he’d turn to slime when the waves of respect and amazement from the blonde hit him “You had to get permission from the head of the department to sign up for mock trial early didn’t you? That’s pretty amazing” 

Naruto leaned back on the armrest of the couch “I can hear the cries of omega’s throughout the school at losing their most eligible bachelor to mock trial prep and the research lab” 

Sasuke smirked putting his cup down and grabbing Naru’s cup and setting it aside too “The way I see it I learn faster when there’s a prize”  he muttered as he dragged the blonde onto his lap and started a trail of kisses down his neck.

Naruto felt that familiar lust coil inside of him as he shifted so he could kiss the raven “What’s the prize?”

“I’ll be thinking about how when I have free time you’ll want to do this as much as I will” His hand slipped under the blonde's shirt “wouldn’t that be a rewarding way to spend our free time?” He gripped Naru’s waist nudging him to swirl his hips against him. 

“Ah–”

“All you have to do is call baby boy and I’ll please you ‘till you’re purring”

“That’s a feat you have yet to achieve Mr,” Naruto said between gasps. 

“You’ve purred” 

“I’ve hummed” 

“Challenge accepted,” he said with a smirk as he thrust his hips up. 

Then the lock on the door rattled. 

They both stilled “ fuck, what day is it?” he muttered frazzled as his eyes fell on his baby boy looking completely irresistible as per usual. 

Quicker than Naruto realized what had happened Sasuke pulled the blanket over him again and dragged him down the hall to his room locking the door.

He let his forehead fall on the blonde's shoulder as he calmed his desire and took a couple of breaths annoyed at the interruption and more annoyed at himself for forgetting Juugo was due back that day.

“Sorry I forgot Juugo was driving back today”

“I kind of figured,” Naruto said trying to call himself and shifting in place then he blushed crimson…

The living room 

“Oh gosh is he? Can he smell—”

“No he’s beta, but if he’s here then so are—”

“Holy shit Sasuke, Karin looks like she’s about to murder someone, did you turn the house into a fuck pad over break or what?” Rang through the hallway and Naruto wished the floor would open up and swallow him whole. 

“That’s Suigetsu, and I figured Karin would be with them as well” He let out a frustrated breath, the last thing he needed was to put Naru in another uncomfortable situation after his major fuck up on New Year’s. 

Naruto all of a sudden wasn’t so upset about the smell, yes let her breathe it in, does he smell like that when he’s with you?  

He startled himself with his own thoughts for a second “I should go home and let you all catch up” 

“I’ll drive you,” Sasuke said then reached out to grab the blonde's hand “I didn’t plan it like this, I genuinely forgot, I’m sorry if the situation makes you uncomfortable” 

The sincerity flowing through the raven eased the edge a little. When they walked out into the living room it was like they were waiting for them. 

He fought the need to look at the floor when Juugo’s eyes widened and instead chose to smell sour strawberries as he felt the hostility Karin was throwing his way. 

The third person in the room spoke first, he was small, with white hair down to his chin and sharp eyes “Holy fuck are you who I think you are?” 

“Hi,” Naruto said shifting a little in place, Sasuke reached out to grab his hand and he felt butterflies as all eyes in the room fell on the motion.

“Naru, you’ve met Karin and Juugo, the mouthy asshole is Suigetsu” 

“Nice to see you too, Happy New year jackass” Suigetsu replied before his eyes sparkled amused “Or should I say Merry Fucking Christmas” 

“I’m taking Naruto home” The raven muttered as he nudged the blonde towards the door. 

“So soon? We don’t bite you know, when did you finally give in? We have a poll to settle, I think Hidan called Chrismas” 

“There is no poll, you know that was a fucking jab at me, stop trying to upset him, K,” Sasuke said leveling his voice but Naruto was a bit shocked that the raven was upset enough for the phrase to come across as more of a command. 

“He should be growing some thick skin if he’s going to be involved with you” She managed to mutter back, not wanting to back down. 

“K, drop it,” Juugo said and the girl just scoffed her scent spoiling further. 

“C’mon Naru” The raven nudged Naruto out of the apartment. 

“It was nice seeing you all…” he muttered as he slipped out the door, Sasuke’s arm protectively gripping his waist and pulling him close. 

He worried over his bottom lip and fiddled with his hands half the drive back, he’d wondered if Karin had mentioned the poll the first time just to fuck with him but…

“…Is there a poll?”

“Baby boy it’s not like that” Sasuke let out with a sigh and instead of dropping him off by the curve the raven drove over to the guest parking lot before he turned over to him. 

“There is a poll, but I didn’t start it, and it got started as a running joke to upset me. Not you, but me” Naruto frowned, confused. 

“How so”

“It never took more than a week or two…a month at the most” Sasuke said leaning his head back on the head rest “I don’t count like that, at least not on purpose but alphas notice, men notice, especially when someone has a reputation like I do” He rubbed his face frustrated at the blondes growing anger and disbelief. 

Naruto sat there a little stunned. So it was all a fucking game after all. 

It was almost like Sasuke could read his mind “Baby no, I didn’t keep pursuing you because I had something to prove to anyone. I did it because I wanted to, I wanted you. But to the boys—it was—they were being stupid, they started a poll in disbelief that someone could turn me down as many times as you did, it was to make fun of me”

Sasuke reached out grabbing Naruto’s hand in his “I'm not telling them when it happened, that’s ours, that’s mine ” He squeezed his hand harder “if I’m being honest just the thought of them imagining what you look like when—” he stopped himself taking a breath “What you and I do is none of their fucking business baby boy” 

“That’s the truth?” Naruto asked softly.

“As I promised, always the truth” 

“You want to ditch your friends and come up? Finish what you started?” Sasuke's dark eyes settled on the blonde. 

Understanding very clearly that it was too late for him not to feel what he felt for the blonde. 

The raven walked into the library while looking down at his phone, he wondered if Naruto had class on campus that day. He’d barely been able to stop himself from actually messaging him. 

It was almost as if the thought itself had conjured up the bright ball of sunshine as he looked up and spotted him by the circulation desk looking at him like he was a mirage. 

He tried not to be upset at the fact that he couldn’t smell the citrusy pheromones that had left him quite stunned when he’d walked down to the kitchen back at his parents. Blockers—he’d been wearing blockers during dinner and breakfast too, it must have been purely an accident he was able to smell him in the first place. 

“Itachi?” 

“Naruto” he smiled as he walked up to the desk “You know I was just thinking about whether I should call you” a soft hue of pink settled on the tan cheeks. 

“What are you doing here?” 

“Volunteering to run prep and research sections for mock trial, actually I was told I could ask at circulation for an available room to book for the semester”

“Oh, I can help you with that, how much space do you think you’ll need? Well, mock trial classes are smaller, so probably….” The blonde started muttering to himself and he smiled softly as blue eyes trailed the computer screen. 

“Study room six should do, you want it booked for the whole semester?”

“Yes Please,” the raven said softly as he gave him the remainder of the details. Naruto typed away, probably filling out the reservation request but then he looked up thoughtfully.

“Wait, mock trial, did your dad send you to spy on Sasuke or something?” He asked. 

“What do you mean?”

“What class were you assigned to?” 

“I think the section is 003, why?” Naruto bit his lip 

“You’re covering Sasuke’s mock trial class” He muttered. 

“I thought he wouldn’t be taking mock trial until next year”

“He got permission to take it early” 

Itachi smiled softly “Must be pretty good if they signed that off”

Naruto smiled back “He is” then he bit his lip, he had a feeling he was going to lose his shit when he realized Itachi would be the one running the prep sessions…

Itachi let out a sigh, pretty sure he knew what Naruto was thinking about “He’s going to throw a fit when he sees me, I had figured it was better to do it now rather than next year too, exactly because I wanted to evade this situation” 

Oh, now he wanted to evade conflict? The pink returned to the blonde’s cheek as he looked around to gauge how busy the library was. 

“Itachi…why did you ask for my number…you knew”

The raven stared at him for a couple of seconds, yes he knew…and at the same time he couldn’t help himself. He’d half done it to nudge his brother to make a move and partly because he’d wanted to… Maybe he hadn’t had much one-on-one time with Naruto that night but he’d seen him. In the end, he hadn’t called or texted though, it’s not like he could just completely ignore the fact that Naruto was with Sasuke…at least that’s what he’d thought, and still, the thought of texting the blonde would pop in unannounced in his head every other day. 

“Well did he ask you out? After?” the blonde shook his head  “Is that what you were hoping would happen?” he asked. 

He took that as a ‘no’ and rolled his eyes “Dense asshole” 

Naruto actually laughed, as he remembered that those were exactly his thoughts when he’d fought with Sasuke, but then the mirth died a little as he got reminded what exactly he and Sasuke were…unlabeled…open…

“I must have put you in a pretty uncomfortable situation then, I’m sorry” 

Naruto let out a breath it’s not like it was Itachi’s fault Sasuke hadn’t asked…changed his mind…whatever…in an ideal situation the raven would have had a sudden epiphany and would have asked to date him seriously, but of course when where things really that easy?

“Should I give him a heads up? That you’ll be in class” he said instead not wanting to revisit how utterly like shit he’d felt after that fight. 

“Don’t, knucklehead will probably skip it”

“He wouldn’t” 

“Sasuke never makes sense when I’m involved, I’ll talk to him after” he looked down at his watch “I have to go or I’ll be late but, maybe we should get coffee sometime” 

The blonde bit his lip getting a bit flustered again “Itachi…it’s not that I’m assuming coffee instantly means a date but um—you know I couldn’t uh—see you like that right, you’re his brother…” open relationship or not…that would be fucked up.

Of course, Naruto wasn’t the type…here he was a coveted Alpha bachelor, successful, good-looking, a great match by any standard—the match, even if that made him sound conceited and Naruto turned him down because he didn’t want to hurt his brother's feelings, even though the idiot couldn’t be bothered to date him properly. 

He’d taken to protecting Sasuke in different ways before, stopping the punches before they came, and softening blows whenever possible. He tried to reassure and be there for his brother. But this time around…he felt like it might prove a little more difficult to stand by his brother and put him first. 

“Friends then,” he said as he outstretched his arm. 

“Friends,” Naruto said with a smile as he shook Itachi’s hand.

If Sasuke was an engine he’d be blowing steam. 

He looked at the front of the classroom to see his brother dressed impeccably in black chinos and a white button-up with the sleeves rolled up. 

They were all losing their shit.

Every. Single. Omega.

Alphas were getting riled up and betas looked utterly confused. 

“Itachi Uchiha….Graduated early….Suma Cum Laude from….currently one of the most requested….” 

Eyes took turns between the two brothers as the professor continued his introduction to their class prep and research lead. Sasuke couldn't really hear a thing out of the professor's mouth for the remainder of the class, all he could hear was the ringing in his ears as his eyes kept shifting to his brother. 

When class was over Itachi walked up to where he was still sitting simmering in pure frustration. This was his turf. This was the palace where Itachi wasn’t number one and he didn’t have to live in his insufferable shadow…and now every person in the classroom was probably gossiping about the more handsome, mysterious, genius older brother. 

“Sasuke”

“What are you doing here?” He asked his voice level trying his hardest not to let his feelings surface. 

“I didn’t know you’d be in mock trial” 

Sasuke shook his head in disbelief “What does it matter if I’m in mock trial or not” 

Itachi let out a breath and pulled a chair over sitting across from his brother in the empty classroom.

“I don’t mean to come in here and impose on your space Sasuke”

“Great way of showing it” 

“Dad thought it’d be a good idea…you know how local lawyers take turns offering to run prep for mock trial—” 

“I thought dad thought this University was sub-par”

“You know dad only said that to push your buttons, you did great getting into this law program” 

Sasuke scoffed “I’m not stupid Itachi, he wouldn’t have let you offer your time if he didn’t have something to gain—in this case having someone as notorious as you help run mock trial would skyrocket not only enrollment but prestige, so when I graduate he can make my degree more marketable” he finished as he felt the pressure building in his chest. 

“Sasuke you yourself got into mock trial early, you make the grades, and only you can succeed in court, no name and no help from me will make that happen”

Sasuke rubbed his face letting out a breath, he knew his real issue wasn’t with Itachi but with their dad but sometimes the line just blurred. 

“I’d say thanks for the vote of confidence if I weren't still upset over the bullshit you pulled on New Year” 

Itachi already knew the answer but he still asked, “Are you courting him?”

“Nobody uses the word courting anymore” 

“Fine are you dating him?”

Silence “He’s off limits ok?” he said and Itachi let out a sigh and leaned back on the chair. 

“I’ll say this at the risk of ruining the great brotherly moment we just had—”

“Itachi” Sasuke said warningly. 

“You can’t have it all Sasuke, you can’t have your casual lay and him at the same time, whatever it is that you need to come to terms with, you should do it soon—before someone offers him what you won't” 

He didn’t need Itachi to tell him that he knew. He fucking knew.

Falling Hard 

Chapter 9: All I Think About 

It had barely been two weeks since school started up again and he was already exhausted, he let his body fall onto the bed and took a deep breath as he allowed the fading smell of sunshine and oranges to wash over him. He couldn’t get the image of the writhing blonde on his bedsheets out of his head and it wasn’t even like it’d been long since they’d been together. 

He’d never found an issue in rooming with Juugo, they were friends, but it was better for him to go to Naruto’s than to bring his baby boy to his apartment. He didn’t want to make him uncomfortable and there were too many chances that Juugo or Karin would bring other people in.  

But...he missed having Naruto on his bed. He missed having the blonde in his space period. 

“Sas you here?” The door opened and Karin poked her head in, given she’d stopped asking for permission to come into his room long ago, but he felt annoyed as the girl plopped down on the bed next to him. 

“You’ve barely been home”

“I’ve you’ve noticed that means you’ve been here too much for someone who doesn’t live here”

She ignored the comment and smoothly climbed over him “You in the mood for something different yet?” She asked her lips falling on his, sweet strawberries replacing oranges and sunshine. 

She swirled her hips, her hands sliding under his shirt “I’ve missed this”

It’s not that it didn’t feel good, it's not that she wasn’t pretty, Karin had a beautiful body and the sex had always been good, and more importantly, she’d never asked for more… still right in the forefront of his mind was his baby boy. He growled slightly and flipped their positions hovering over her and leaning down to kiss her, his hands sliding under her shirt and ghosting over her soft skin.  

She hummed and stopped the kiss for a second so she could pull her shirt over her head, Sasuke opened his eyes looking down at the pliant omega, but he didn't lean back down, Naru's voice kept ringing in his head over and over.  

“Just because I’m willing right now that doesn’t entitle you to have me whenever you want” 

But he always did, he always wanted him. He craved him. He could have sex and feel good but …it wasn’t the same anymore. He groaned frustrated as he fell next to the redhead grabbing her shirt and handing it back to her. 

“I’m not in the mood K” 

“Anything I can do?” her hand sliding from his abdomen down towards his crotch and she smirked “Looks to me like you’re down” 

He sat up her hand falling off him “I’m taking a shower, go home” 

She sat there a little stunned, letting the anger bubble inside of her, it couldn’t be, he couldn’t be turning her down because of that insipid little bitch. Sasuke had never turned down sex, no matter who he was fucking at the time. He couldn't possibly be thinking about going exclusive--Naruto was nothing but novelty, he’d played hard to get for as long as he could and now Sasuke thought his pussy was something special. She put her shirt back on and left the apartment, the raven always moved on to someone else…but she was always the constant. It wouldn’t be long before Naruto asked for more, and Sasuke would set him aside just like he’d done with all the others, then it would be her turn to step up again.

The raven dropped for a second time on his bed fuck, whatever lingering smell had been there was gone, replaced by sweet strawberries. He undid his bedding and threw it in the washer his frustration growing.

He was such a joke…he wanted to date him, he wanted to be with him, he was all he could think about, he really needed to grow the fuck up. Playing it cool with his baby boy when he was really…just falling apart at the idea of losing him before he ever had him.

He clicked the blonde’s contact on the phone and brought the device to his ear, and after a couple of rings the soothing voice came through the speaker “Hey”

“Hey, have you made it home yet?”

“Uh-uh trying to figure out food, but I might just crash, today kicked my butt” 

“I can bring you food” he offered, uncomfortable with the idea of the blonde going to bed without eating. 

“And why the generosity?”

“Let me sleep there? My blankets are in the washer” 

There was a bit of silence on the other end “What? You don’t you have spares?” Naruto asked playfully. 

“Oh yeah because that’s something a college student worries about, spare sheets” 

The blonde laughed “You could ask Juugo if he has some”

“Where is all this heartlessness coming from?”

More laughter “fine but you’re bringing me dinner tonight and bringing coffee during my shift tomorrow” 

“You want to switch to law? I think you’d make a great lawyer” He said into the phone amused.

Their first month came and went and they’d kept busy by trying to get used to their new schedules. Naruto was glad Sasuke would always drop by the library if he had time, and he began asking more and more frequently if he could stay at his apartment.  

The raven had tried to resume his ‘harassment’ from last semester caging him against bookshelves and muttering all kinds of propositions—except this time Naru would blush and mutter a ‘later’ growing in the mischief the raven's smell promised. To his dismay, those little interactions didn’t last long. Itachi’s arrival changed what the library looked like, really what the law division at their school looked like. Sasuke himself typically attracted plenty of attention, and people had figured out where exactly it was that Sasuke had taken to spending his free time during the Fall. Now add Itachi to that equation and just like that the library was overtaken. As more and more omegas and betas walked in just to get a look at the brothers, to try and talk to them, ask for their numbers, and even leave gifts for them. 

They hadn’t brought up Itachi directly…both of them had probably been a little too uncomfortable revisiting that first fight, Sasuke too afraid of knowing what his baby boy thought of his brother, and Naruto too afraid of upsetting the raven. However, Sasuke would make it a point to always arrive early for prep well before Itachi arrived, his subtle way of reminding Itachi that they weren’t after all just friends…or so he guessed.

“Naru” he felt a slight shiver run down his spine at hearing the shorthand for his name coming off Itachi’s lips. 

“You’re way early today,” he said as he looked at the clock on his computer then his attention was drawn to the Starbucks cup Itachi was placing on the desk, nudging the drink towards him.

“Yeah, finished prepping for a case and figured I might as well come over before I fell asleep on my office couch, I got you a hot cocoa” 

He laughed a little, somehow he couldn’t imagine the picture-perfect raven falling asleep in his office, much less on a couch. Then his eyes fell back on the cup and a soft blush settled on his face, remembering the first time Sasuke had brought him something. 

“Thanks, you really didn’t have to,” he said as he grabbed the cup 

“I had an ulterior motive” The blonde raised an eyebrow at him “Hoping you’d agree to drink it while we wait for everyone else to get here” he shook his head bemused, what was it with Uchihas trying to exchange Starbucks drinks with him for other things? 

“Funny, your brother brought me a Starbucks drink in exchange for my number” 

“That worked?” Itachi asked with a smirk. 

“Well I’m talking to you now am I not?” He sipped from his hot cocoa snickering, drawing another laugh from Itachi

“It’s going to start getting warm out, do you stick to hot drinks or do you switch up to cold?” 

“Now that you mention it I guess I do switch to iced when it gets hotter out” 

“Mmm what do you like to order?” Truth be told Itachi liked talking to Naruto, he enjoyed the way the blonde never had to try too hard or pretend—he really just remained himself, and treated him just like he would any other person. 

‘Because if anything, I thought you looked vanilla’  Sasuke’s voice rang in Naruto’s head. 

And he blushed furiously “I’ll tell you but you can’t tell Sasuke” Itachi raised an eyebrow

“Why what is it?”

“I guess if it comes down to my regular, it’d be a vanilla iced latte” He muttered the blush on his cheeks intensifying. 

“Ok, and why does that need to remain a secret?” Itachi asked, he thought he had an idea of why the blonde was lighting up like a Christmas tree and wondered if he could get him to say it out loud. 

“What needs to remain a secret?” Sasuke asked as he walked up to the desk standing right next to Itachi, his eyes traveling from the coffee in Itachi’s hand to the hot cup in the blonde's hand. 

“Nothing” The blonde muttered in a rush

“You do have my number, don’t you? How come only Naru gets something to drink?” The raven asked

“You never pick up my calls or answer my texts,” Itachi said with a shrug and a smirk. Daring Sasuke to keep ignoring him when he called or messaged. Though he knew his brother's least concern was getting caffeinated and had more to do with the fact that he’d provided for his omega.  

“You’ll have to share baby boy,” The raven said as he reached over grabbed his cup, and sipped from it. Naruto didn’t think he could get any redder but the raven calling him baby boy right in front of Itachi did things to him. 

Sasuke had totally bullied him into telling him what the ‘secret’ between him and Itachi was later that night and ended up in a laughing fit when he finally gave in and told him. 

“So you are vanilla baby boy” 

“I like vanilla in my drinks, asshole,” He said as he shoved the raven off his bed. 

He’d been afraid he’d further the rift between brothers, but it was a relief to see that both of them got along just fine, in their own weird way. Naruto couldn’t help but smile when he heard their banter, he found their competitiveness sort of adorable. 

He let out a sigh and bumped his forehead against the bookshelf he’d been standing by, even if it had been easy to spend most of the break together, they really shouldn’t have, now he felt so uneasy when Sasuke wasn’t there and he never knew if he wanted to ask the raven how his day had been, what he’d done or if he’d taken any of those numbers offered to him…

Sasuke made time for him, he did—but that didn’t mean he’d stopped hanging out with his friends, and even if they were dating that shouldn’t mean the raven should give up his social life if that’s what he thrived on. However, in this less-than-perfect arrangement, Sasuke’s social life was proving to be a hard adjustment from their dedicated one-on-one time over break, especially because every time the raven was out on the weekends all he could do was imagine him with others. 

Ino had been right, he wasn’t cut out for this type of relationship. Split between feeling right at home in the raven's arms and waiting for the hit to come every time they were apart. He really should have made a point of bringing that up when they had fought in New Year…but he hadn't wanted to prematurely push Sasuke into a relationship before he felt ready to commit. 

Strong arms surrounded him and rain and trees invaded his senses “Hey” he muttered as he turned in the raven’s arms. But it always ended like this…in Sasuke’s arms, all his doubts melted because he could feel how Sasuke felt about him, every time the raven sought him out, be it a good or a bad day, around him he relaxed, he was content and happy. 

The raven kissed him, it was a soft kiss almost tender drawing a small noise from the back of his throat before he stepped back “I'm working” he muttered. 

“Take a break, I’ll meet you in the bathroom,” Sasuke whispered against his lips and he smirked “You wish” he muttered as his forehead hit the raven's chest and he took a deep breath, feeling relief wash over him. Just Sasuke….it was just rain and trees mingled with his own smell lingering ever so lightly. 

Maybe he should take a restroom break and fix that. 

“No fair, I can’t smell you”

“Oh what a pity,” he said teasing the raven. 

“Oh, the sass is coming out now baby boy? You must be getting real comfortable around me” Sasuke pushed him against the bookcase, and he shouldn’t be as turned on by the action as he was. He shrugged playfully as he ducked under the raven's arms and making way back to the circulation desk. Sasuke reached for his hand nudging him to turn around “I’ll wait until you get off”  

He offered the raven a smile and after looking around leaned over for a quick kiss on the cheek. That was yet another unspoken thing…what they wanted their ‘arrangement’ to look like to the public eye. It’s not like he judged anyone who chose to be in an agreement like he had, but he didn’t want people talking, about his secondary gender; or for random alphas to start showing up trying to talk to him. Because apparently agreeing to be in a sexual relationship with one person suddenly meant he was all for it with anyone that asked. 

But the rumor mill was already at work and plenty of people had made snide remarks around him about what his relationship with the raven was--damn passive-aggressive assholes. 

“Really, he doesn’t look like his type at all”

“I heard Sasuke only slept with him because of a bet”

“You think he actually has a body under those layers”

“Maybe he just smells really good, thought he was beta tho”

He took a deep breath pushing the gossip to the back of his mind as his eyes fell on the raven, who’d sat on a table close to the circulation desk and started working on some of his assignments. He plopped on the desk chair and got to work as well, they could talk all they wanted. Sasuke could work from the comfort of his home but he chose to do it at the library instead so he could keep him company. 

The library finally grew quiet, girls giving up on trying to talk to the raven when he’d give them short answers and go back to whatever assignment he’d been working on. He walked over and plopped on the chair next to the raven.

“So is your presence being requested anywhere this weekend?”

Sasuke smiled softly “You know there’s always a party” he pouted and rolled his eyes.  

“If you want me to stay in with you just say so” he replied with a small smile and the blonde huffed crossing his arms. 

“You know you’re always welcome to come with too,” Sasuke said as he closed his laptop giving the blonde his attention.

“So you’ve said”

Sasuke reached over interlacing his fingers with his “You’re the one that always turns me down” 

“I can hardly get comfortable when I go with Ino, wouldn’t want to ruin your fun by making you leave early if I feel like I don’t fit with your crowd” 

“I’d make sure you have fun, and if we need to leave then we leave,” Sasuke said his voice soft and his thumb making small circles on his hand. 

“How about you take me to dinner and spend the night so I don’t miss you too much later this weekend”

He should have gone, Sasuke had asked again not once but twice, but he couldn’t figure out what he wanted. Part of him wanted to go…make out with the raven in public and stay by him all night so no other omega or beta would dare make a move. 

Then the other part of him worried about what he would do if Sasuke ended up making out with someone else while he was there. What would he do when people asked Sasuke who he was and he said 'a friend’ 

Fuck

He shot up on the couch as the lock to his apartment turned and Ino walked in looking spectacular as always. She’d opted for white shorts and a purple bandeau.

“You know I could be walking around naked,” he said from the couch and she rolled her eyes at him.

“Or banging a dark-haired beau” 

“Hey!” 

“I knew you’d be here sulking”

“Not sulking” 

“No? Not wondering how Sasuke’s night is going? Perhaps regretting not taking him up on his invitation to go with for the hundredth time” 

“I turned him down three times” 

“This weekend, what about the past four?” She plopped down next to him and moved his hoody aside so she could smirk at the trail of hickeys on his neck. 

“Hey!”

“Did you leave your own set? You know so omegas would know to back the fuck off tonight?” He groaned as he covered his face with the blanket he’d had over himself. He didn’t—he should have. Ugh! What was he even thinking? 

“Come out with me”

“No” She pulled on the fabric “Naru!”

“Don’t wanna” 

“Don’t wanna flaunt the trail of hickeys he left on you? His smell maybe? Cause you reek of him”

“Go away”

She gave up on trying to pull the blanket off of him “Mmm I guess, I’ll have to go to the party he’ll be at all by my lonesome” he sat up “Ino when do you ever go to any party all by your lone—” it dawned on him exactly what she’d said. 

“How do you know he’ll be there” he hadn’t even bothered asking where Sasuke would be going. 

“One has her ways” she pulled the blanket completely off of him “Now, are you getting changed or what?” 

“Ino, I don’t need” he brought his knees up to his face “Maybe I don’t need to know what happens when he goes out” She bit her lower lip, she’d asked around, and so far rumor was Sasuke wasn’t sleeping with other people or if he was he wasn’t doing it carelessly as he had in the past. 

She reached for her friend's hand and squeezed “Maybe you don’t, or maybe you do” Naru looked up at her and she could feel the uncertainty in the air. 

“If he’s fucking around and you hate it you can tell him to fuck off and then we’ll drink until we black out, and if he isn’t…maybe you can walk up to him and show everyone the exact reason he’s been off limits” He laughed softly—like he would…but it’s not like he hasn’t been doing a lot of things he thought he’d never do since he started seeing the raven.

He closed his eyes “I hate you” 

“Love you too, now what are you wearing?” 

He worried over his bottom lip as he looked at himself in the mirror in black skinny jeans and a form-fitting mock-neck white tank  “Umm” you could see the trail of lovebites Sasuke had left the night prior peeking over the mock neck “Are you trying to make sure I freeze tonight? I’ll wear the long sleeve” 

“Naru this look is perfection and I won’t let you mess with it, if you get cold you can ask Sasuke to hug you” she winked at him as he blushed “Now let me line your eyes a little” she didn’t want him to freeze to death, she wanted the sorry ass omegas and betas that had been talking shit about how Naru looked to eat their fucking words. 

“You should skip them,” She said when she saw the blonde's eyes trailing to the spray bottle on the bathroom vanity.

“Don’t you think it’s all a little much?” Damn right, she thought Sasuke better get a move on, because his baby boy was about to make front page. 

“I doubt he’ll be wearing any blockers, maybe you should give him a little taste of what is like when other people leer after what's yours” Maybe Ino was right, how would Sasuke know how he felt every time he went out smelling like pure alpha, with those looks, if he’d never been put in that situation. And his weekly response was to stay home and wallow in self-pity?

“You’ll keep an eye on me right?” She smiled brightly at him “always”

Falling Hard

Chapter 10: Your Alpha

“You missed the part where the party was at a fraternity house” The blonde had sort of sworn he’d never step into a fraternity house after some alpha asshole had all but groped him and tried commanding him into a bedroom during his freshmen year. 

“Oh, oh shit ” the tall blonde turned over to him biting her bottom lip, she’d completely forgotten, she’d been a little too busy thinking about getting Naru within the raven’s vicinity so their relationship could hopefully move along. Those two were running circles around each other and she wanted to scream every time she saw her best friends worrying over the raven. Those two just needed to get their head out of the gutter “I’ll take you home”  she said, even if she wanted to push them along, it hadn’t been her intention to bring the blonde into a palace where he might not feel safe. 

Naruto reached for her hand so he could stop her from walking away, he’d come with some omegas he’d met in class that he didn’t know that well, they’d all hooked up with other alphas and ditched him. Ino wasn’t like that, she’d never let him leave or be with someone before checking with him first “I’m sure it will be ok, I know you’ll keep an eye on me”  

“I have a feeling once Sasuke realizes you’re in there so will he,” she said winking at him. 

He wanted to believe that was true, that the raven’s eyes would lock on him and him alone. But he now sort of wished he hadn’t skipped the blockers, it made him feel…defenseless. 

But in they went, the house was two stories, the first floor was packed, and held most of the party. He looked down at his phone, should he have messaged Sasuke he was coming? Should he ask him where he was at? Or just wait to run into him? 

Ino looked at her friend already getting lost in thought “Ok shots first, c’mon, T told me they were by the living area or something, look for a beer pong table” They waded through the house, music blasting, lights flashing, stopped by the kitchen to down two shots and finally found the beer pong table in what looked to be the biggest room of the house occupying almost half the first floor.

Naruto spotted T and Lee “How is it always Ino that manages to convince you to do things? No fair of you to have a favorite” Ten Ten said as he leaned over to kiss his cheek, smirking as her eyes fell on his neck “You planning on telling me about that any time soon? ” she asked holding in a giggle. 

Lee threw his arms over their necks, putting his weight on them and giving them a lazy smile “About what?” 

“No-Nothing” The blonde muttered as he blushed, when he lifted his eyes from the floor his gaze fell on the raven all the way across the room sitting on one of the couches. He spotted Juugo and Suiegetsu along with other guys and girls he’d never met before. 

He kind of got that feeling he used to get when he’d look at the ‘cool kids’ table back in High School. His eyes then fell on the redhead making her way to the sitting area, in cut-out levy shorts and a black crop top. There was no way to miss her curves or the way various sets of eyes around the room locked on her. 

He felt the air trap on his throat when she walked over to where Sasuke was sitting dropping herself on his lap without any warning. He gripped the solo cup as the image of pushing the girl off the raven's lap played out in his head. But then something unexpected happened, Sasuke easily moved her off, looking unimpressed he just…lifted her and set her next to him. He felt liquid warmth run through him at the sight. The raven didn’t even know he was there , he’d been getting ready to feel disappointment, and he’d been bracing himself to see the raven kiss the redhead. 

It made him want to walk up to the raven and kiss him and at the same time he wanted to hang back and just see him. Now that he thought about it running into the raven at a party felt so different now, before he’d always seen the raven with a pretty girl or boy by his side and instantly averted his eyes, the thought of ever being the person next to him fluttering to his mind briefly before he squashed it. His hand came up to his neck his fingers tracing the place where he knew Sasuke had marked the night before. 

“So are you going to go up there and do something, or are you just going to stand here waiting for other omegas to try and fall on his lap?” Ino half hollered at him as she tipped the vodka bottle into his already pretty strong cranberry vodka,  he bit his lower lip tipping the cup up. 

“You’re a bully” 

“You know they say alphas are the territorial ones but omegas get just as territorial when threatened” 

He grabbed the vodka from her and tipped the bottle on her cup “Drink” She laughed pulling him over for a hug “Stay back then, let’s see how long your self-control lasts” 

“I need a break” Juugo muttered, he felt like hurling. 

“You have no resistance whatsoever” Suigetsu snickered. 

“Well if any of you pussies picked the dare instead of the shot you wouldn’t be so wasted already” Hidan snapped from where he was sitting. 

Pein leaned back on his seat, his eyes traveling through the room “Anyone seen him before?” 

Sasuke had been tipping the beer bottle up and easily turned to see who Pein was talking about, and his eyes widened.

“Holy shit, Sasuke it looks like your puppy’s out,” Suigetsu said between choked laughs at Sasuke’s expression. As soon as the words left his mouth the raven's foot was kicking him where he was sitting on the floor “Do not call him that”

“Well shit, that’s library boy? No fucking wonder you wouldn’t let up” Hidan said with a snicker, his eyes hungrily traveling over the blonde, Sasuke sat up straighter, a growl trapped halfway through his throat. 

“Ugh– please if anything he’s basic” Karin muttered from next to him. 

“I think you’re projecting,” Konan said snickering from next to Pein, and through it all, he was still staring . He’d asked him to come with…multiple times, and he showed up with Ino looking like that. 

He was up and walking before he even knew it “Sasuke where—” the redhead didn’t even bother finishing the sentence, her words dying on her lips, letting annoyance settle over her as the raven walked through the crowd making his way to the blonde.

Ino bumped her shoulder against his, a small smirk on her lips, she leaned down by his ear “Looks like tall and handsome finally realized you’re here” 

He instantly turned back to where he’d seen the raven sitting earlier, the alcohol Ino had managed to get him to knock back in the last forty minutes was absolutely ridiculous and he sort of couldn’t care less what anybody had to say about how fast he looked for Sasuke’s dark eyes among the crowd. Finding him didn’t take too long and gosh that man knocked the air out of him. 

Ino cut in right before he could fully reach the blonde “Hi– hello, Ino, best friend, you know you’re on thin ice already since you haven’t even bothered to introduce yourself to me”

Sasuke stopped for a second, anger bubbling in his chest slightly at being kept away from the blonde, but he pushed it down, Ino was Naru’s best friend, it wasn’t her fault he’d been put in a mood by Peins ogling or Hidan’s eyes traveling over the blonde probably trying to imagine all sorts of stupid filthy things. 

He reached out, grabbing the hand she’d offered, and was slightly surprised by the contrast between the tight grip and the easygoing smile on her face “Sasuke, and just for the record I haven’t been opposed to meeting you” 

She let go of his hand turning towards Naru letting out an outraged gasp “Is he implying you haven’t wanted to introduce me?” 

The blonde rolled his eyes “and you wonder why? ” He bumped his shoulder against her nudging her to stop harassing the raven “She can actually be really nice” 

Naruto got shoved by a brunette her hair up in two buns “I ask again, is Ino the only friend you have or what?” Naruto chuckled “Sasuke these are TenTen and Lee” 

“You can just call me T,” The brunette said with a smile and Lee tipped his chin up acknowledging him and taking a sip of his drink. 

Ino finally relented and winked at the blonde moving over to talk to Lee and Ten leaving the raven to finally fully walk over to him. 

“Hey, I didn’t know if I should messag—” Sasuke didn’t let him finish as he leaned over and kissed him softly. He could see the alphas lurking around the blonde’s crowd, they were looking at Naru and waiting for the right chance to approach the blonde. 

He would not give them the satisfaction of getting anywhere near the blonde that night—or ever.  

Naru pulled back with a slight blush on his face, butterflies dancing in his belly “People are staring” he said so low he didn’t think the raven could actually hear through the music. 

“Let them” Sasuke replied, probably reading his lips. He couldn’t help but laugh leaning over to return the kiss  “You wear this on purpose?” the raven asked as his hands fell on his hips, his thumbs running circles on the white fabric of his shirt. 

“That would have been Ino” he replied 

“You’re so obedient when it comes to Ino” The raven rolled his eyes and Naruto snickered “What you don’t like it?”

“Oh I like it” Sasuke’s fingers slithered through the belt loops in his pants pulling him flush against him before he slid his arms around him in a tight hug “but for myself” 

The blonde laughed “You’re one to talk, plenty of eyes here are on you” 

“But my eyes are on you,” Sasuke said smoothly, Naruto felt the blood rise to his face, he leaned up on his tiptoes and the raven held him in place “Sorry, for turning you down, it’s not that I didn’t want to go out with you—it’s just” 

Sasuke pulled him close again, nosing along his neck “It’s ok baby boy, I get it” Naruto hugged the raven and shivered as he teethed along his neck “but tell me princess are you trying to punish me right now?” He pulled back his eyes dilated.

The blonde gave him a coy smile “Think you can hold out until we get back to the apartment?” he stepped back and pulled on the raven's hand, leading him back to where his friends were dancing. 

“Is this you officially asking me to go back with you?” The raven asked as he followed. 

“If you behave tonight” Naruto replied, Sasuke chuckled and shook his head amused. 

Naruto was a little taken aback when he fully turned to his friends and Hinata’s lilac eyes met his for a second before she looked away. She must have gotten there when they were talking, he felt a little self-conscious but still couldn’t get himself to let go of the raven's hand. 

Sasuke fit in seamlessly, he was social by nature and could spark conversation or banter easily with Ten and Lee, even with Ino. Shots were passed around, they hyped each other to dance, and suddenly the group was bigger, as Juugo was pulling the raven away from Naruto and into a bear hug “You look like you’re having fun after ditching us” 

“So we came to join you” Suigetsu added, and the blonde blushed as he realized Sasuke’s crowd had moved into their space. Varsity players and dolled-up girls weaved through settling around them. 

A tall hunk with hair so silver it almost looked white walked right up to him and outstretched his “Hidan, feel free to slide into my DM’s whenever you're done with his ass won’t you?”

He was ready to tell Hidan it was rather unlikely he’d ‘slide into his DM’s’ when Sasuke hand slapped the big hand away, it took him a second to realize that the raven was growling “Back the fuck off Hidan” 

Juugo stepped between both alphas his big palm steadying Sasuke “Ok…Sasuke that was a bad joke, you know Hidan has no fucking filter” 

The growling subsided but Hidan had to open his mouth again “Jesus fucking christ Sasuke, you’re trying a little too hard this time around aren’t you?” 

Juugo’s hand gripped the raven’s chest tighter and Naruto squeezed Sasuke’s hand signaling him to calm down, as another tall guy's face full of piercings walked over looping his arm around Hidan “Your drunk ass is about to get jumped, let’s go for a walk man” 

Juugo looked over at him apologetically, and after giving Sasuke a look that assured the raven he had no ill intentions, he dropped his hand and dared to walk closer to the blonde “I’m sure you’ve got a terrible impression of all of us by this point” Naruto bit the inside of his cheek. All he could think about when he thought about Sasuke’s friends was that damn poll, and people talking about him like he was an object. 

Not to mention it was still a little hard to see Karin around Sasuke knowing she’d been the one to keep any semblance of a romantic relationship with the raven for the longest. Every time he’d imagine those two together he felt like he was being gnawed at from the inside out.

“We’re just a bunch of college jocks too easily influenced, we don’t think before speaking sometimes” Juugo added. 

“Well I tell them they’re idiots all the fucking time, so feel free to do the same” a pretty girl with deep blue hair said as she stepped up to them as well “c’mon let’s dance it out” Sasuke’s grip on his hand tightened and Konan rolled her eyes “He’s fine Sasuke”  The raven took a breath and allowed Konan to ease Naruto back into the dancing crowd following closely behind. 

When Pein and Hidan came back it looked like most of Sasuke’s friends made sure to keep an eye on his obnoxious ass.

“I guess they’re really not that bad,” he said as he leaned up, more than a little tipsy at this point. They didn’t owe him any loyalty but they did come together once they saw Sasuke had gotten upset to avoid any further conflict and that earned them some points. 

“They can be hotheaded, but ultimately they’re mostly harmless” 

“Oh is that why you were about to jump Hidan?” Sasuke’s hands gripped his hips “you know why he was about to get a beating” 

“Would I be awful for saying I don’t really mind seeing this side of yours?

“What side?”

“The possessive alpha side…you know…usually alphas only get riled up like that if…” if it was their partner, their mate being disrespected. 

Sasuke’s eyes felt like swirling liquid on his as Naruto felt love and affection flowing from the raven. 

“Baby boy I…”

“Yeah?” He said softly his heart threatening to beat out of his chest.  

“Hey, guys ” and Naruto had to bite the growl that wanted to come out of his throat at the  interruption as he turned towards Hinata. It had felt like Sasuke was about to…to say…he closed his eyes, it felt like Deja Vu, like when he’d asked to talk to Sasuke back when both of them had walked into the library and he’d gotten upset. 

Now here he was, he could barely keep his hands off the raven and felt apprehensive at Hinata’s presence. She talked to Ino, but she’d been avoiding him ever since they’d come back from break. He could understand the awkwardness, he also could understand that maybe he should have told her how he felt about the raven. He should have checked in with her and made sure things would be okay between them if he decided to get involved with Sasuke. But what good would it do? If she told him to stay away…he wouldn’t have been able to…he’d been a bad friend. He knew that. 

“Hey ‘Nata” the blonde said uncomfortably. 

“I was hoping to get a word with Sasuke”  the blonde shifted in place his eyes falling on Sasuke and then back to Hinata. She probably just wanted closure…right? 

“Yeah, sure” Sasuke’s hand reached out for his and held him in place before he could step away, feeling panic as soon as he realized the blonde intended to leave. He didn't want to let him out of his sight “You don’t have to leave” 

“It’s ok, I’ve had too many liquids, need to hunt down a restroom” He didn’t actually want to leave, preferably he’d like the raven to help him find a restroom…see if they could find another use for the room. But he also knew Hinata probably wouldn’t be able to say what she wanted to say with him standing right there. 

He reassured the raven he’d be ok again and turned around instantly looking for Ino, before his resolve to let Hinata have a moment shattered. When he didn’t spot her he walked over to Ten Ten “Ino?” the brunette who was dancing it up with one of Sasuke’s friends turned over to him and shrugged “What’s up?” She asked, her eyes lifting to Hinata and Sasuke talking, she was about to step away from the guy who was now glaring at him for interrupting them “Everything ok with ‘Nata?” 

“Yeah it’s ok, I’ll guess I’ll do a lap and see if I can find Ino”

“Sure?” He nodded at her, he didn’t necessarily need an entourage to find the restroom. So he looked around, trying to keep his eyes off Hinata as she talked to Sasuke. He wandered through and someone finally pointed him to the restroom. 

“You need help getting there hon?” He grimaced, “No thanks” 

“Would be happy to show you the rooms upstairs” the guy hollered after him and he rolled his eyes turning away and towards the restroom. 

The door opened and he almost ran into the person walking out “Shit–Oh hey” He laughed as he grabbed Ino’s waist steadying her before she could fully crash into him. 

“Got a little too happy with the vodka bottle” She groaned as her head fell on his shoulder, he laughed “Did it come up?”

“No but not more vodka for me tonight”

“I’ll wait for you” she muttered as she leaned against the wall her eyes falling around the room and spotting the guy that had given Naruto instructions, he was still leering at the blonde. 

“I’ll be quick”

Sasuke looked down at the obviously unhappy omega. 

“You’ve been ignoring my texts” 

“Hinata” he took a breath, it was harder to deal with Hinata because he knew Naru was close to her “I’m not ignoring you, we’ve just already had this conversation already”

She huffed “You don’t get to just say you’re done just like that— just like” she stopped for a second “I don’t understand we were seeing each other often before the break and you just up and disappeared and I come back and” she stopped, running her hand through her silky hair “I should tell him to get as far away from you as possible, you’ll do the same thing to him” 

“Watch it,” he said as his eyes pinning her in place “Don’t try to make it sound like you’d do it to look out for Naruto” he crossed his arms “This isn’t about Naru at all, so you leave him out of this” 

“So you won’t just fuck with him till you get bored and move on to the next person?”

“No” whatever she was about to say died on her lips. 

“Yeah right” 

“Listen Hinata, I tried to be really clear about the type of relationship we would be having, and I didn’t make you any promises either” He let out a sigh “But  I know what I did was shitty, and I’m sorry I hurt you, but I can’t keep seeing you just to make you feel better” 

“Is it him, are you really not seeing anybody else because of him” 

“Yeah” He could feel the bitterness Hinata was letting out at the statement her eyes moving off him as she probably held off tears. She spotted the blonde trying to walk around a frat guy that was trying to get his attention and she just—she was so angry. 

“Well I do hope he dumps your ass, it’s about time someone fucks with you ” She wanted Sasuke to hurt, she wanted Naru to hurt too, it wasn’t fair, why was he special. Why could he have what she wanted so badly when he’d fallen just like all the others, he’d still given in, and he’d still slept with the raven, he was no different. The result of the relationship between them should be no different either. 

So with newfound resolve, she stepped up to the raven her hands pulling him down so she could kiss him. 

They were wading through the crowd and had almost reached the spot where they’d been hanging out when someone called out to Ino, he stood in place as the tall blonde looked around and locked eyes with someone, smiling at them and stopping by to say hi. 

He looked between Ino who was chatting away with whoever had called her and then over to where Sasuke was still talking to Hinata, he looked frustrated, and so did she. He fidgeted in place, should he just, walk over or wait for Ino? 

“Hey, Hon” Naruto looked up to see the buff guy that had pointed him towards the restrooms, he felt frustration bubble up as he got right in front of him and cut his view of the raven “looks like your alpha got busy, need someone to keep you company?” The guy continued, his alcohol-addled brain had some trouble processing the words as he tried to move to the side so he could find Sasuke in the crowd again. 

“My alpha?” The sentence rang through his head and he stopped looking up at icy blue eyes “Wha? Who?” 

“The tall blonde” 

Naruto rolled his eyes “Ino’s not my alpha” 

“Oh–then, can I ask who left this” Naruto took a step back before the guy's hand could touch his neck and hissed, surprising himself. 

Apparently, he found it funny because he laughed “Skittish aren’t you” 

He moved to the side again his eyes finally falling not only on Sasuke but on Hinana leaning up to kiss the raven.

Ino apparently was back and pushing the bulky guy like he wasn’t over a hundred pounds heavier than her “He’s not interested dickface scram—what the shit” She finished as her eyes fell on Hinata and Sasuke. 

Karin apparently thought this was an invitation as she walked up behind the raven sliding her arms around his middle and leaning up to kiss the back of his neck. Sasuke looked utterly confused for a second before he made to move away from both girls, his eyes sliding around the room probably trying to see if Naruto had been around. 

“Naru, sweetheart,” Ino said as she turned over to see unshed tears in the blonde's eyes.  

“No” was all that came out of his lips, he knew Sasuke hadn’t leaned down, he knew he hadn’t instigated anything that night. But he was still suddenly so angry, he wanted to scream, hiss, he wanted to walk right up to both girls and pull the raven away, he wanted to claim, and all at the same time he wanted to walk away and play pretend he hadn't seen anything in the first place so he wouldn't have to deal with all the emotions simmering inside of him. 

His eyes slid through the crowd looking for the silvery-haired tall man “Naru–where” Ino started next to him, she cussed as she made to follow the blonde into the crowd that was now catcalling both girls and edging them on. 

“Naru this isn’t—” Sasuke called after the blonde, who promptly ignored him and walked right by him “…shit would you two just” he finished unlooping Karin’s hands from his waist and turned frustrated “That’s enough, stop it both of you” he commanded the two girls stilling them in place.

He turned to look for the blonde again and felt like he’d been punched in the gut as Naruto’s hand gripped Hidan’s neck, nudging the man to lean down so he could kiss him. The tall man was taken back as both the blonde’s soft lips and Sasuke’s hot white anger landed on him at the same time. 

“That’s enough” The raven growled as she pulled the blonde away and turned him around, his eyes flashing red for a second, the color quickly fading away as he saw the look on Naruto’s face. 

“Now you know what it feels like,” He said unwavering looking Sasuke straight in the eyes. 

“Like he would give a shit, if you can take the heat then move along” Karin hollered from the side 

“I’m sorry who the fuck asked for your opinion?” Ino’s voice cut through.

“Well do you?” Naruto crossed his arms, he didn’t even deem Karin or Hinata with a look, “Give a shit?” 

“You want to have this conversation in here? Right now?” Sasuke asked as he noticed more heads turned their way and people were starting to record on their phones. 

“Looks like he doesn’t” Naruto didn’t know where that one came from but he deemed the crowd worthy of his middle finger at this time before he scoffed, making his way out of the room bumping against Sasuke’s shoulder on his way out. 

“Fine let’s just not do this at all anymore” 

“Naru, wait!” The raven turned after the blonde 

He turned over when he realized someone had held him back and was met with Ino’s icy blue eyes “Don’t go after him unless you’re ready to step up, he needs you to stop fucking playing with his feelings” 

“I’m not” 

“Funny way of showing it,” she said as she let go of his arm, Sasuke turned back around as well trying to figure out where the blonde had run off to. 

He figured the blonde had made his way out of the house, he himself didn’t want to be inside a minute longer. How had the night turned in an instant? It had been going so well, he’d been so close to telling Naru exactly how he felt. It was in the air, their feelings were like fizzing electricity, they could feel the unspoken words floating between them, and then…then everything went to shit. 

He stepped out and welcomed the cold air on his face, his eyes looking to the sidewalk. He spotted the blonde walking down the street, well more like stumbling, and ran up to him. 

“Baby”

“Don’t” 

“Can we just talk about what just happened”

“Time talk about it passed, now I’m going home” 

“Baby boy, do you plan on walking all the way to your apartment? It’s freezing out, and you know as well as I do that you would have regretted having that conversation inside” the raven tried to reason as his eyes fell on the blonde's exposed arms. 

“Watch me” the blonde muttered not wanting to turn and look at the raven because he just knew he’d take one look at those dark eyes and then that deep sultry voice would say ‘sorry’ and he would just—give in, fall apart. 

The raven let out a sigh “Baby, I can follow you all the way home which is a way longer walk than what you and I would be up for right now, or you can let me get an uber, but I’m letting you know right now that you’re not going anywhere alone” Not upset, not drunk, not looking & smelling like that. 

“If me leaving alone is the problem I can go grab Ino right now, but you know my shitty night doesn’t have to be hers so why don’t you stop pretending to give a shit and go back inside bet none of the omegas in there will be as difficult as I am” he let out a frustrated huff as he took a look at the people piling the windows and starting to trail out of the house, he turned and resumed his walking “This isn’t reality TV they should all mind their own damn business” 

The raven patiently walked behind the blonde and stopped him once they’d walked far enough from the fraternity house “I'm not pretending, and you know that” he said hurt. 

“Do I Sasuke? And please take a couple of minutes to look back on how this all started, also do me a favor and take into account our relationship status” 

The white Honda pulled up and Sasuke checked to make sure the plates matched before he opened the door for the blonde who got on still sulking. He might be angry and drunk but he wasn’t stupid, Sasuke had a point, he had no business going anywhere by himself, and just as he had assumed the moment he looked at the raven he couldn’t actually send him away. 

“Fun party?” The driver asked as they slid in but he quickly caught on to the pheromones both of them were releasing and grew quiet “Ok–not a fun night. Quiet ride got it” he muttered mostly to himself as he began following the instructions the GPS had loaded for him. 

He spend the ride catching glances of the pretty blonde texting on his phone before he settled into looking out the window and away from the stupid good-looking alpha that had slipped in beside him. He caught the raven trying to grab the blonde's hand after they’d slipped in but the blonde pulled away. The raven spent the remainder of the ride acting like a caged feral, his leg bouncing up and down and his fingers tapping against his bouncing knee.

When he pulled up to the curve to let them out the blonde threw him a polite thank you before he opened the door. 

“I can Zelle you half, you should have him take you home” he muttered to the raven, who rolled his eyes “You know you don’t have to send me any money, and I’m walking you to your door” 

“Sasuke go home” the raven slipped out behind the blonde, quickly letting the driver know he wouldn’t be needing that ride. 

“Seriously?” Naruto asked, crossing his arms, nails digging into his biceps. His emotions kept flipping between anger and sadness. He just couldn’t keep up with the damn mixed signals anymore. 

“I can’t leave while we’re fighting, I can’t do that again” He walked closer to the blonde “Naru let’s just try and talk this out first and if you still want me to go home afterward I will, promise” 

He remembered it, how he had felt absolutely miserable the last time they had fought, how…how he’d wished Sasuke had come after him, that he had at least tried to justify why he’d done what he’d done.

“Ok,” the blonde said softly dropping his arms and nudging the raven to follow him, his conscience was screaming at him–send him away–we don’t want to have this talk, we’re not ready. He’d known this conversation had been coming their way the moment he agreed to enter this relationship with the raven. He could pretend to be ok, and he could blanket himself in all the good things, in the feeling of safety inside Sasuke’s arms. But unless they were dating seriously tonight would happen again, over and over he’d be challenged. 

A challenge he couldn’t currently counter because Sasuke wasn’t his. 

And what? Was he supposed to go around kissing random people to get back at the raven? Would he go as far as to make out with other alphas? Fuck them out of spite? He took in a ragged breath as he walked through the door, his heart breaking at the thought that he'd reduce himself to something like that, and he felt big strong arms surround him from the back. 

Sasuke’s warm breath fell on the back of his neck “Don’t hurt—don’t hurt like this baby boy, not because of me” He couldn’t stand it, Naru wasn’t supposed to smell like misery, his baby boy was sunshine and oranges and it should be his job to make sure that didn’t change. He shouldn’t be the fucking cause. 

“ Fuck” The blond muttered as he turned around and crashed his lips against the ravens, his hands quickly sliding under the black t-shirt Sasuke had been wearing. 

The raven growled instantly reminded that someone else had dared claimed the soft lips, the blonde returned the gesture, Hinata’s pretty face flashing through his mind. The fact that she looked fucking pretty kissing the raven drove him right over the edge. 

Sasuke’s fingers slid through his hair before he gripped rearranging him, sucking and biting at his lips roughly before latching on to his throat pulling little gasps and groans out of his lips.

The pair stumbled all the way to the couch and the raven made quick work of pulling the blonde’s shirt off, while Naruto hastily grabbed at his pants undoing them before pushing him onto the couch, quickly taking care of the remainder of his clothes. 

Sasuke took in the sight hungrily, the trail of mine, omega, claim. Running amock in his head, quickly imploding as the blonde smoothly climbed on top of him grinding his ass along his shaft. 

Long fingers gripped tan hips helping the blonde move along on top of him for a few seconds before one of his hands slid back to knead at the blonde's ass. Naruto nosed the raven’s neck scent marking him before he latched on to the spot and sucking hard. Sasuke groaned, his free hand slipping between them gripping both their erections and stripping them back roughly. 

Quickly guiding two of his fingers to the blonde's entrance, a possessive growl made its way out as he felt the slick that had started to leak out. He plunged his fingers inside, making quick work of finding his baby boy's sweet spot and relentlessly attacking it. The blonde whimpered oversensitized by the attention on both his front and the back, his fingers digging into Sasuke's back leaving marks in their wake.

“Inside” he gasped “Finish inside” Claim me. 

“Hold on” Sasuke muttered short of breath, eyes dilated holding the blonde to him as he leaned over so he could pull a condom out of his back pocket. 

Naruto stopped breathing for a second, willing his body not to physically say the word ‘No’ he wanted to smack the foil out of the raven's hand. If he already knew he wouldn’t be at the party why would he need it in the first place?

No. Mine. Alpha. Mine.

He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the feeling of the raven stretching him and finding his way fucking home, pulling him down as he gripped his neck and asked for another kiss. 

“ Fuck baby you feel so good” a small whimper fell from the blonde's lips “More” 

More and more and more until all the raven could think about was him. Until he’d smell like Sasuke and Sasuke would smell like him and there would be no confusing that one belonged to the other.

“Come here princess,” Sasuke said softly as his hands helped Naru swirl his hips just right, and his lips fell lovingly over his.

I’m here, I’m here with you flowing from him. Hoping to reassure the restless blonde. 

“Sasuke, Sas—Sa’ke” the blonde muttered as they increased the pace and he felt the raven hitting that spot inside him over and over, he could feel the raven getting bigger, catching on his rim and it was all so much he was all but reduced to a puddle of tears. It felt so fucking good he didn’t want to stop, he didn’t want him to pull out. 

“Mine” he finally let out loud, “Mine” he repeated as he pulled himself up and let his body fall on the raven mostly formed knot, driving his orgasm over the edge. Before he could stop himself he leaned over and sank his teeth into the back of Sasuke’s neck where Karin had kissed earlier that night... 

“ Fucking hell” the raven groaned as she felt teeth sink into his flesh, Naruo tightened almost painfully around him and it was too fucking late.

“ Mph” the blonde bit harder as he felt Sasuke’s knot stretching him from the inside locking in place “ Alpha ” finally fell from his lips as Sasuke bit his lip so hard blood was running down his chin, his eyes closed tight as the ropes of cum expanded the rubber and he growled wishing he’d fucked the condom and gone in raw because Naru was just— everything. 

Gasps filled the room as both men recovered, not made any easier by the knot since every time Naruto shifted both of them groaned, Naru could feel the fullness of Sasuke’s come and he whined feeling like he’d been robbed of something that belonged to him. 

“Sorry” Naruto muttered licking over the deep bite he’d left on the raven’s nape, moving on to lick the blood off his chin and then his lips. 

He sighed, trust him to fucking spend the whole ride back thinking about how to put an end to this and then proceed to get knotted by the raven. 

The sigh quickly turned into a content purr as Sasuke’s hands ran soothing circles on his lower back, he could smell the raven in the air sated, and content. Sasuke stilled for a second and Naruto could feel the smirk forming on those smug lips. 

“You’re purring” 

“No I’m not,” He said sitting up and groaning “Fuck” the raven grunted, his hands steading the blonde in place “Ok, no sudden movements for at least another twenty minutes ok?” He enjoyed the way the blonde's face got bright red before he let his cheek fall back on his shoulder. 

It wasn’t anything like what Sasuke thought it would be, he could feel his baby boy breathing, the small vibrations from his chest as he purred content. His arms tightened around the blonde’s lower back. If anything being able to feel so much got him all stirred up thinking of doing this over and over, suddenly thinking what it would be like to help the blonde through a heat he closed his eyes and hummed thinking about his baby boy calling for him with unyielding need and then pleasing him so thoroughly over and over, fuck, he needed to stop. 

Naruto lifted his head blushing “Your smell changed, what are you thinking about?” he muttered. 

“Doing this again” He answered surprising himself. 

“ Oh ” This had been everything they had said they wouldn’t do. No biting, no knotting…and mostly it’d been his fault, he’d instigated the whole thing “I think I can move now” he said softly and the raven frowned slightly at the lack of an answer. 

“We should rinse” he offered the alpha weak smile as he looked at the mess they’d made. 

Sasuke simmered in silence afraid to ask, terrified, had he not liked it? Was it not the same for him? Then it dawned on him, the rough sex, fast and dirty, desperate—was this supposed to be break-up sex?

Through the quiet shower he felt like stone got stacked upon stone inside of him and as he finished slipping his shirt and underwear on he finally got his dry mouth to speak “Do you still want me to go home?” he asked, not really able to face the question of ‘Was it not good for you? Did you already make up your mind to end this before you kissed me?’

The blonde finished sliding his shirt on and rubbed his arm shifting in place “I don’t go around looking for fights you know, I used to judge omegas that felt the need to make their claim known I—I didn’t understand, I didn't understand how embedded it was in us...the need to...” the need to protect that which we see as ours, he grew silent he'd been so defenseless, so hopeless not making a stand. 

“Baby boy I didn’t—”

“I know you didn’t kiss her, I know it wasn’t you” Naruto worried over his bottom lip trying to fight tears as he walked up to the raven and got all stirred up catching part of the purple bruise forming over his bite 'You can't tell him to leave, he's yours, you know he is, he wasn't upset you put it there, he was happy' rang the little voice inside his head. He took a breath--just talk, just be honest for once. 

“That isn’t why I was upset” He rolled his eyes at himself “Ok I was obviously upset that they kissed you—but I was angry because…what was I supposed to say? Am I supposed to hiss at them? Push them? Tell them to back off even though you've made it very clear you don’t want to be in a relationship with me. Have you no idea the position that puts me in? It means you're not my alpha, I have no claim" the words burned coming off his lips "Which means I have no right to be as upset as I am and Karin might just have a point if I can’t take the heat then I might as well show myself the way out”

Sasuke knew he'd fucked up, he knew he'd put the blonde in an uncomfortable position, his baby boy had been happy he'd gotten jealous that night and at the same time felt like he couldn't do the same because of the boundaries he'd set. 

He walked closer to the blonde “Naru, you know back there before Hinata cut in I wanted to say—I’ve been wanting to say that I was wrong. I thought I knew what I wanted but I was just afraid. Because you might think I hold all the cards here baby boy but you do ” his forehead fell on the blonde’s as he closed his eyes “I’m afraid of fucking up so bad they’ll be no way back, I’m afraid I won’t know how to treat you right, I’m afraid you deserve better and if I make you mine I’ll be too selfish to let you go”

“Sasuke being afraid is part of it too, you think I don’t wonder whether I’m the right person for you? Sometimes I look at you and feel like you’re beyond me” 

“Baby boy you’re miles ahead of  me, if someone doesn’t measure up here it would be me, and I know that, I know it so well I'm constantly terrified you'll leave me and find someone better, I thought—I thought if we didn't make it official it would hurt less then” 

The blonde pulled the raven down for a hug “You make me feel safe, I feel like we belong, but all that falls apart the moment you leave because I can’t help but think that you’re going to someone else and I—I can’t, I can't do that anymore, I can’t share and I won’t, even if sometimes I don't feel like it I am worth your undivided attention"

He took a step back hugging himself so he wouldn’t reach for the raven again "I can't promise things will work out between us, but if there is something I am certain of is that we need to do this the right way. If you want to be able to stay, if you want us to do this ever again that's what I need from you" he shifted in place "No  hard feelings if you need to leave tonight and take some time to think about it"

“I don't have to think about it baby boy, I've had plenty of time to think about it, I can't say I'll be perfect but I can only try to be good enough for you" Naruto could feel the emotion rise to his face "You sure? Because—" he held back tears "Dammit Sasuke I don't know if I'll be able to take it if you change your mind next week or if I see some other girl with you I just—fuck" he bit his lip looking away. 

Sasuke felt like he couldn't punish himself enough for making Naru feel this insecure "Baby boy look at me" the blonde wiped the few stray tears that had managed to find their way out and looked at the raven. "I haven’t slept with anyone else since we started seeing each other” Sasuke let out “You’re all I can think about, I was just stupidly holding to the last thing that made me feel like I had any semblance of control and I am so sorry, so sorry if made you feel this way” Naru let his forehead fall on the raven's chest. 

“Why do you have to make loving you so hard” he muttered.

Sasuke's index finger nudged the blonde to look up at him “Love?” he said raising an eyebrow at the blonde. 

“Yeah, I’m in love with you, you dense thickheaded alpha, why else would I be putting up with this infuriating delayed coming-of-age arc” Sasuke felt giddy, stupid really at the words. 

“I need to hear you say it,” Naruto said pushing the raven to fall on the bed climbing over, and promptly sitting on top of him. 

“I love you?” Sasuke said confused 

Naruto rolled his eyes—one step at a time. May the forces that be give him strength “sounds so romantic with that question mark added a the end” he leaned down and gave the raven a quick kiss “No, I need verbal confirmation that we’re dating. boyfriends. monogamous. As in you’re mine and no longer everybody’s”

Sasuke put as much honesty out as he could as he sat up holding the blonde still against him “Your’s” it was true, it had been true for so long now. He was rewarded by a blinding smile from the blonde “Boyfriends” he added “Monogamous” Naruto giggled “Ok you didn’t have to say every single one” He smirked and flipped them letting the blonde fall on the bed before crawling over him “Your turn” 

“Your’s” The blonde said softly shifting his head slightly to the side so he could bare his neck to the raven. 

And all of a sudden Sasuke wished he’d gotten his head out of his ass sooner.

This right here, his baby boy looking submissive and pliable under him because he trusts him because he loves him …this feeling right here was unmatched by any other experience he'd ever had.

Falling Hard

Chapter 12: Death of a Bachelor

Naruto was up before Sasuke, the slight headache hovering over him didn’t do much to spoil the surge of warm and fuzzy that ran through his body when he realized Sasuke’s arm was looped around his waist. He sat up, his eyes trailing the sleeping raven next to him, he felt the heat rise to his face as Sasuke shifted, still sound asleep, his long lashes looking soft and so curled they almost touched his eyelids, then his eyes trailed the long neck until they fell on his bite. 

His

Like really his…he blushed harder, he shouldn’t be so proud, he’d totally overstepped, he’d bit the raven out of…need & fear. It wasn’t a bonding bite, it would fade, if anything it would only allow him to linger on the raven for a couple of extra days if they ended up splitting. 

“Mom seriously!” He said outraged as he sputtered a bit of his coffee back into his cup in response to his mom casually mentioning they needed to talk about what would happen when he decided to share a heat with someone. He spotted his dad about to walk into the kitchen and diligently turning around and walking away, his cheeks sporting a blistering red blush. This was not a conversation he was ready to hear without losing it, he’d end up telling the blonde to stay home and never leave. 

“You’re moving into your apartment soon sweetheart, away from us. We need to talk about this”

“But we already had the talk ” he groaned remembering how detailed his mom had been when she sat him down the first time he told them he was dating.  

“You taught me how to track my heats mom, I’m always careful, and you even put me on birth control as soon as I got a boyfriend” he blushed, nobody could say Kushina Uzumaki wasn’t thorough with her son's safety. 

“Yes hon, but humor me for a bit here, and play along, what are some of the reasons your heat could shift?”

“Stress, extreme life changes, having an alpha partner” he answered unamused, knowing his mom wasn’t going to let the subject drop. 

She smirked at him “stress? Life changes? Partners? Sounds like all the things they talked to us at that ‘preparing your child for University’ workshop your counselors hosted” 

He rolled his eyes “I told you not to go, they make it sound like we all lose our minds the moment we step on campus” 

She gave him a knowing smile, her son had always tried to remain rational when it came to relationships, would try to smother his omega, water it down as much as he could. It angered him that he never knew if people were being honest or just reacting to his pheromones. Her baby could run but eventually, he would crash into someone that would tear all of his defenses down. 

She fondly thought about her husband for a second before she leaned over brushing some hair off her son's face “You’re going to fall hard and fast one day and you’ll love them so much, need them so much you won’t be able to bear the idea of spending your heat without them. But even if it isn’t out of love I’d understand if you just wanted some help hon. It has definitely been a little easier being here at home having me”

He blushed remembering the time Gaara had paced outside his house every day after school during one of his heats. He could hear his dad growling and grumbling whenever he was lucid, and his mom turned him back around and into his room more than once when he tried going outside to call for the redhead. Gaara told him his uncle threatened to cuff him to the kitchen counter if he left the house again on the third day. It was all part of their growth, of learning to control and contain their needs. 

It was his mom that brought him food, made sure he drank water, changed his sheets, and held him as he gasped begging her to let Gaara in. He’d hated himself for it after he’d come out of the haze, he was so embarrassed, even though his mom had told him it was natural, and that her job was guiding him through it all. 

“I know you're perfectly capable of handling it on your own sweetheart but if and when you trust an alpha enough to help you through a heat, make sure they are strong enough to hold back. One wrong bite at the right time will solidify a bond for life. And believe me when I tell you you’ll both be tempted to claim. They can bite other spots, just not the scent gland, and in case they do, make sure you’re strong enough not to bite back, not unless you went into that heat with the intention of bonding, but I’ll be very upset if you show back home with a bondmark and I haven’t met the alpha” she chided at the end. 

He brought his legs up to his chest his arm reaching out, fingers gingerly moving soft black hair off the raven’s face. 

He allowed himself to fantasize about what it would be like for Sasuke to become such a necessity in his life he’d be willing to tether himself to the raven permanently. He hugged his legs to his chest closer and buried his face in his knees, overwhelmed for a second at the image of Sasuke sporting a faded bondmark. This is what his mom had meant. He understood now. The need to be Sasuke’s burned, and he guessed it would only amplify unbearably while in heat. 

He made a little sound on the back of his throat—stupid, it took the man months to agree to become your boyfriend. Temper your expectations and stop thinking about such embarrassing things! 

“You good?” The low sultry voice cut through and his head whipped up “Yup, peachy, starving too, I’m going to get started on breakfast” He muttered as he made to get off the bed, he must have looked beyond flustered because Sasuke smirked, sitting up and pulling the blonde back and under him in one fluid motion. 

“Now baby boy, tell the truth” He leaned down sniffing the tan neck, his eyes pooling “What dirty things were you imagining?” 

‘Oh you know sharing a heat with you, it was actually you that trigged mine early last semester and I can’t even begin to imagine how I’ll feel when I go into my next one which should be due very soon' 

Nope, he wasn’t going to say that…not yet. 

“I bit you,” He said instead, which was equally embarrassing but had already happened and the proof was smacking him in the face every time he looked at the raven. 

Sasuke grinned pulling back and leaning against the wall, opening his legs to make space for the blonde to settle between them “Come here”  he nudged as he dragged the blonde over between his legs  “wanna know a secret” Naru’s back settled against his chest “I liked it” he said voice sliding over Naruto like liquid.

He let out a little gasp “You didn’t bite back” he muttered. 

Sasuke leaned down, his teeth scraping his neck and he shuddered “I was a little too busy losing my mind” he nipped along his neck scenting him heavily “You felt so fucking god baby boy” 

He felt himself melt entirely into the raven “I’ve never felt like that’ he muttered. 

“Flatterer” he gaped pressing himself against the raven harder “Next you’re going to say I’m the best you’ve ever had” it seemed he was still in a bit of a petty mood. 

Sasuke’s hands had been trailing the hem of his pants and he seemed to freeze at the comment “Was it good for you? You didn’t say anything after” he pulled his hand back “Did it hurt? I’ll get better at it” 

The blonde stilled for a few seconds, the implication of what Sasuke just said fully sinking in. He whirled so he could look the raven in the eyes, he was lying—had to be, he would always ask him, tempt him into letting him knot him. 

“Wait” he turned, kneeling in front of the raven and looking him in the eyes “Sasuke you’ve never?” 

For the first time since he’d met him the overly confident raven seemed slightly ashamed “Doing that with just anyone would just be trou—” he got cut off as Naruto leaned over kissing him,  letting out a small giggle, Sasuke pushed him back into the bed and climbing over him “Don’t laugh at me” he admonished as he leaned over sucking on the blonde’s neck “You have?” he asked half a growl. 

But the giggles continued, Naruto felt like someone had opened a jar full of butterflies in his stomach “Don’t be upset” he let out between giggles “I’m happy” he added as he flipped them sitting on top of the raven “You’re telling me that Sasuke Uchiha king of fuckboys has never knotted anyone and I was his first?” He leaned over landing his lips on Sasuke’s “I wasn’t aware you still had firsts to give” another small kiss “and I hadn’t” he blushed answering the raven’s question “I wanted it to be you, just wasn’t holding out any hope I’d be all that special to you” 

Sasuke reached out, cupping the blondes face “Baby boy anything I do with you is special”

“I liked it, a lot—a little too much” he blushed remembering how upset he’d been that Sasuke had been wearing a condom, he frowned reaching over to grab a pillow hitting the raven’s chest with it “Hey, I thought we were having a moment” Sasuke muttered 

“Why did you have a condom with you last night?” Naru asked with a pout. 

“Because” he sat up holding the blonde to him so he wouldn’t fall off  “I had every intention of coming over after, and then you showed up looking like a snack and I then had every intention of fucking you in the bathroom before shit hit the fan” the blonde leaned over biting the raven’s shoulder lightly “Liar, you just wanted to be safe, in case the opportunity presented itself didn't you” he mumbled against Sasuke's shoulder. 

Sasuke’s hand ran up and down the blonde's back in a soothing motion “I put it in my pocket out of habit, baby” he said at last “But I didn’t plan on using it, I told you didn't I? I haven’t done this with anyone else since you and I started seeing each other” 

“Say that again won’t you” Naru whispered softly burying his face in the raven’s neck. 

He was trying not to pout, as the raven changed. He knew Sasuke had studying to do, he’d tried reviewing his notes on Naruto’s tablet the day before while the blonde worked on the laptop, but only ended up putting it to the side and dragging the blonde back to bed after he'd caught him biting the top of his pen for the tenth time as he stared at his assignment on the screen. 

“I'll call after I’m done,” Sasuke said with a knowing smile, leaning over to kiss the blonde “You can spend the night and we can head to school together tomorrow” he perked up at that and nodded enthusiastically at the raven “Deal” 

Sasuke's eyes trailed to the spackled lovebites on the blonde's neck and he smirked, leaning over to smell the blonde one last time, his cheek rubbing against Naru’s. Then he somehow convinced himself to be on his way before he gave in to his need to keep claiming the blonde. 

When he opened the door to the apartment he stopped for a second for the first time ever he was slightly bothered by the predominant strawberry smell permeating the place. When he stepped in he noticed Juugo, Karin, and Suigetsu scattered in the living room. Books, notes, and prints were strewn over the coffee table and floor. Karin looked up at him definitely upset “You do know we have midterms coming up, we were supposed to party Friday then study the rest of the weekend” 

“Well I’m here right” Sasuke replied rolling his eyes as he walked over to the kitchen  “Is there coffee?” all three of his friends turned to him with that ‘duh’ expression on their faces. 

“You keep clothes at his place” Karin mentioned, as her eyes took in the sweats and t-shirt, they fit Sasuke too well to be Naruto’s.  He put the cup he’d grabbed down on the counter and turned over locking eyes with the redhead “We need to talk” 

Juugo and Suigetsu looked at each other and looked right back down at the notes they’d been reviewing. Sasuke walked down the hallway and into his room, he didn’t have to look back to know Karin was following closely behind. 

“Listen I was just teasing him a bi—” she stopped as her eyes fell on the bite on the back of the raven’s neck and she was just—beyond fucking furious. 

“Karin,” the raven said warningly at the shift in pheromones, she walked by into the room and waited until the door clicked shut before she turned around to look at the raven, “I thought you weren’t into biting anymore” 

“No, I asked you not to bite me, and you still did by the way” Sasuke responded he could hear her barely holding in a growl. 

“For god’s sake Sasuke, he was just some omega playing hard to get, you got him, make a fucking victory lap and move on, who the fuck even are you right now?”

“You know he’s different, you’ve known so why are you taking every damm chance to chase him away? You think what you did the other night was cute?”

She walked up to the raven and shoved him “It’s because you did it all fucking wrong, I’m here, I’ve been here, and I know you! I’m supposed to just hand you over to some doe-eyed omega that knows nothing? You were supposed to pick me!” 

Silence filled the room “K, I never” 

“Made any promises? That’s fine, it was all fine because you treated us all the same, but now you’re playing favorites, you think I’m the only one that’s going to get angry?” 

“We’re dating and it isn’t a game for me, as my friend I’m asking you to respect that. And if you can’t then—”

“I’ve known you for three years and you’d cut ties with me?”

“If we can’t be on the same page then yeah” she scoffed as she crossed her arms, her eyes staring daggers at the floor. 

“He’s not right for you, and you know that, you make it official and everyone will eat him alive” She spit out. 

The raven walked up to her predatorily “I think you’re underestimating him, but I find out you have anything to do with him getting picked on; it might not be words we’ll be exchanging” she shuddered under the hard stare. 

She turned around opening the door “ I don’t need to do anything, his feelings will get hurt all on their own when he starts wondering if he can measure up to everything you’re giving up” she walked out and he could hear her shuffling about the living room before the door slammed shut. 

He sighed, walking back out, hand rubbing the back of his neck “She’ll get over it man” Juugo said 

“Mazel tov” Suigetsu snickered tipping his coffee cup his way “Never thought I’d see the day” They'd obviously been loud enough for the guys int the living room to hear.   

He rolled his eyes at the beta and dropped on the floor, reaching for the notes on the table “Told you to stop sleeping with her” Juugo said unapologetically “and I told her that if your feelings were going to change they would have done so already so it’s both your faults” 

“I know” he leaned against the wall “I know it’s on me” 

'He’s not right for you, and you know that, you make it official and everyone will eat him alive'

It couldn’t really be that big of a deal right? So what if he stopped sleeping around, he’d already stopped just hadn’t made it official, it’s not like he was the only alpha at school.

“Naru” the raven said softly 

“No” was the quick response and he laughed “You’re the one that’s going to be late I don’t have lecture for another hour and a half” 

The blonde turned on the bed, his eyes falling on Sasuke, it looked like he’d gotten up earlier to keep studying, he sat up rubbing his eyes “you shouldn’t have called me over if you were still busy” 

He dropped onto the raven’s lap and reached for the coffee cup on the desk before he frowned “No milk?” before he put the cup down “Does it even have sugar you psychopath?” the raven laughed nuzzling the blonde's neck before he leaned up for a quick kiss “There’s more in the kitchen” 

“If I change quickly can we stop by Starbucks? I want an iced coffee” the raven smiled “Fine” he tapped the blonde's thigh “get moving then”  and Naru was digging through his bag in record time to get his clothes and toiletries out. 

He went about organizing his notes and closing any tabs he didn’t need anymore on his laptop. He sat there for a second, trying to figure out what it is that he was feeling. When the blonde walked back he watched him move about the room as he made make he'd put everything back in his backpack the night before. 

Sasuke stood walking over to the blonde and pulling him close “Sas?” 

“I really like having you around,” he said softly, his hands falling gingerly on the omega's hips, his baby boy giggled, eyes soft “Well I would hope that was the case boyfriend ”

“How about instead boyfriend you call me alpha, princess,” Sasuke said with a smirk “I move to request your presence at my apartment more often” he whispered in Naru's ear.   

The blonde blushed “Motion to strike the request, your honor, the defense can’t seem to keep his hands to himself and it’s awfully embarrassing to run into his roommate in the morning” 

Sasuke laughed, pulling the blonde close and nuzzling his cheek “That’s what I get for doing practice runs with you, let’s go get you that coffee baby boy”

Sasuke resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the people that would look at them and cluster together, whispering conspiratorially. He saw the blonde's eyes moving about before they landed back on him. 

“Umm is it us?” his baby boy asked as he looked down at their locked hands. The raven was irritated that the soft blush that had filled Naru's cheeks when he’d first reached out was replaced by embarrassment, not at them, but at being stared at.

“Yeah, I'm guessing it's because of the party” people had been taking videos. Some kept their eyes on the blonde, others on the raven, and they'd seen the whole thing unfold from beginning to end. 

“It’s going to die down, they’ll move on to the next thing soon enough,” he said as he squeezed the blonde's hand trying to reassure him.

Naru wasn’t used to it, he didn’t particularly enjoy being the center of attention, he’d found his baby boy by accident. Hidden behind a bundle of books. To this date, he still dreamt of the myriad of emotions that had crossed the azure eyes when their eyes met for the first time. 

"Him?"

"look they're holding hands"

"Given his options, I'm surprised the blonde came out on top"

"But did he?'"

A giggle followed.

"Don't you think some people are complete shit at whispering?" Sasuke asked loudly turning to the blonde as they stood by the counter waiting for Naru's drink. The voices completely died down at the comment. The blonde's eyes shot up from the spot on the floor he'd been staring at, settling on the raven. Why was he staying quiet? The raven made sure to wear a shirt that put the healing bite on display, held his hand all through campus, and had no problem calling out the people around them that were talking shit. He wasn't everybody's anymore...Sasuke was his alpha, and he was dating no pushover omega. 

He leaned up, his lips touching Sasuke's, hand gripping the back of the raven's neck slightly. 

"Venti iced mocha for Naruto" He stepped back, walking up to the counter and grabbing his drink. When they walked by the trio of friends that had been gossiping the blonde stopped right in front of them "Hope you were able to catch my name just now, might make for better gossip if you did" He could feel Sasuke smirking next to him, all three friends blushed looking around as if looking for a spot to hide.

He let out a breath as they left the coffee shop, the raven laughed, leaning in to whisper by the blonde's ear "That was hot" 

Naruto shoved him, growing completely red "Shut up" 

“I should have known the moment you ordered a mocha instead of your regular vanilla latte that you'd chosen violence this morning,"

The blonde fell into a fit of giggles next to him before he leaned over to give the raven a quick kiss on the cheek “Thank you” he said with a warm smile, knowing very well that Sasuke was not only distracting him but letting him know:

It's ok. You can do this, I am yours, and you chase them away however you want.

Falling Hard 

Chapter 13: All In

Naruto was staring at one of the tables close to the library exit, a group of at least five girls had sat there and they would take turns gossiping and looking back at him.  

“If looks could kill” He looked away from the girls, blushing. He hadn’t even realized Itachi had walked up to him. 

“Hey Itachi” The buzz around the library increased and he could feel his patience running thin. 

“Lively in here today,” The raven said leaning on the reception desk. 

“Unsure I’ll make it through the day without murdering someone” The blonde muttered, looking at his empty Starbucks cup with longing, he needed another coffee. 

“What’s the gossip?” Itachi asked, The blonde blushed. 

“It always gets like this on prep days because you and Sasuke come in” 

The raven gave him a little smirk “I was under the impression that the hype was dying down” 

Naruto crossed his arms narrowing his eyes at the older raven “If you already know why are you asking” 

“Better to hear it from the source,” Itachi said unapologetically, which got a small smile from the blonde. 

“Ask your brother” Naruto replied. 

“Ask me what?” Sasuke said walking up to them, pheromones a little heavier than usual, he’d been slightly triggered by the amount of Alphas sitting about the library when he walked in. Naru was wearing blockers, so he knew they couldn’t smell him, but at the same time, if they couldn’t smell the blonde, they couldn’t smell him on the blonde. 

Itachi’s eyes fell on his brother's neck, then back on the blonde, who grew red as a tomato under his stare. 

“Was that you?” Itachi asked, “feistier than I thought you would be, noted” 

There was a small growl from the younger raven “Rude to say that about someone else’s boyfriend”  

Itachi smirked “Now doesn’t it feel good to say that?” Sasuke rolled his eyes like he would give Itachi the satisfaction of agreeing with him. 

“Don’t you two have prepping to do?” The blonde nudged them away, unable to take the embarrassment “I’m checking the return box” he muttered scurrying off and away from the set of deep black eyes. 

Itachi laughed softly making his way towards the study room, looking sideways at his brother who kept looking back to trying spot the blonde.

“You should give him a matching one,” Itachi said casually, Sasuke turned to his brother. 

“It wasn’t really planned” Sasuke replied, slightly upset that he hadn’t bit back. 

They both dropped down on the chairs and started taking their notes and supplies out “If he’s not going to stop wearing the blockers he should at least have a bite” His brother looked him in the eyes "Sas...up to now he had kept to himself, never purposely drawing attention, other alphas hadn’t noticed him because he wasn’t out there actively looking ”

“I know that” 

“Then taking a look at that lobby should tell you what’s going to happen now that people associate him with you” 

“What’s that supposed to mean?” 

Itachi let out a sigh “Sasuke, what’s been done is done, you went out there and lived your life the way you wanted to up to now, good for you for not giving a shit, but do you know the type of assumptions that are made about omega’s that date alpha’s like you?” 

Sasuke grit his teeth “Naruto’s personality speaks for itself” 

“Is it not his personality that drove you to try harder?” 

Sasuke let out a sigh and dropped his forehead on the table “See this is why I didn’t want to…he deserves so much better than the shit he’ll get for dating me” 

“Be the alpha he needs then” the older raven said “and make sure you protect your omega, this isn’t like what you’ve been doing, you’ve never had to do this before but you protect, you set other alphas straight, and you make sure he feels safe—that’s your job now” Sasuke raised his head and settled his eyes on his brother. 

Itachi didn’t need to tell him, instinct itself did, even when he wasn’t dating there was a bit of edge to other alphas talking to the people he’d been sleeping with, it was alpha instinct, if you’re involved you get possessive. It had been easy to push the instinct down in the past, it had been superficial at best. It was very different with Naruto, it wasn’t like the itch he typically felt. The feeling he got when he saw other omegas around the blonde was overwhelming. 

It hadn’t dawned on him, however, how his reputation could affect the blonde beyond the interactions with the groupies. 

Because of him other alpha's would now look at his baby boy and covet…  

The mere thought set him on fire.

He stopped checking books back in when loud laughter startled him out of his task—again. He looked up at the table of girls and set the book he'd been inputting on the system down. 

This was ridiculous.

He had to be the most corrosive thing to ever happen to a campus library in the history of student employees. First Sasuke brought in his little parade of omegas, then Itachi and Sasuke attracted omegas like moths to a flame when prep started, and now alphas that had never stepped foot in the library were walking about. Omega’s that wanted to take a look at him—mostly to judge him—would walk in loud and rowdy and just plain disrespectful.  

Two weeks and his relationship status with Sasuke was still the hottest topic in school.  

He walked over and stood by the loud table “Excuse me” 

The girls stopped turning over to him, some of them still giggling. 

“Yeah?” the platinum blonde asked 

“I’m going to have to ask you please keep your voices down, I have people working on assignments, and prep class for mock trial is in session” 

The girl rolled her eyes “I’m studying,” She said pointing at the closed notebook in front of her.

Naruto grit his teeth “I can hear your group talking all the way to the reception desk, if you’d like to stay in the library you’re going to have to respect it’s a shared space”

“You sure you’re not just trying to chase away other omegas so Sasuke’s eyes don’t stray when class lets out?” the brunette next to the platinum blonde said. 

He felt possessiveness curl at the bottom of his stomach “Bold assumption,” He said “To think that of all people in the library his eyes would stray to you” He smiled pleased with the girl's outraged expression. 

“Watch it, there’s one of you and five of us,” she snapped back.

“Manicured hands and hair pulling terrifies me” He replied eyes unwavering, the blonde stood “Aren’t you a little too confident? You’ve been dating for all of two weeks, imagine how embarrassing it's going to be for you when he dumps you at the end of the month” 

The blonde's eyes darkened, and he took a breath, reminding himself he was on shift. Whether Sasuke had slept with any of them in the past didn’t matter now, because he was dating him. Fighting them would only feed the gossip, and further confirm that he was indeed insecure about his status with the raven. 

“This is your last warning, If you can’t keep it down, I will have to ask you to leave,” He said and turned before the girls could give him a response. 

“You sure you’re not just trying to chase away other omegas so Sasuke’s eyes don’t stray when class lets out”

As if Sasuke would look. 

He tried his hardest to keep a neutral expression on, he didn’t want them to know they’d upset him. Prep ran long that day, with midterms coming up, it was no surprise the session ran the whole three hours. 

He tried to work on his tasks and once he was done, he moved on to his assignments. 

He wished he could just go home with Sasuke already.

Naruto groaned as his body hit the bed, he was exhausted. Going on two months now and people were still unrelenting, he’d had to kick people out of the library repeatedly. Girls would bump against him trying to get him to hit the floor. Alphas would come into the library and ask him questions about their accounts or about where to find certain book sections in the library. He’d clench his jaw as he patiently explained, pretending like he wouldn’t notice them trying to smell him. Outside the library, they'd relentlessly bump into him between classes, or pretend to be chivalrous by catching him before he ate shit when the girls tripped him. 

He could see how much it bothered Sasuke, the raven had taken to walking him to every single class he could walk him to. He'd gotten a little more aggressive with the trail of lovebites he left on his neck, and he scented him every chance he got. This left him with mixed feelings at first they had been both busy studying and taking exams and he felt like the raven shouldn’t need to waste his time walking him around. However, at the same time, Sasuke's reaction helped soothe his omega, it reassured him to know that the raven didn't want any other alphas near him. It reassured him to see that he wasn't the only one bothered...

 At this point he was just happy they’d both made it to spring break in one piece. 

Sasuke walked out of the shower toweling his hair dry and the blonde blushed, you’d think he’d get used to seeing the raven inside of his apartment like he belonged there. He also allowed himself to fall on the bed, letting out a sigh of relief before he pulled the blonde over, burying his face in his hair and smelling “I’m seriously re-thinking my decisions in life” he groaned, thinking about how he’d have to spend most of spring break prepping for final exams—he hadn’t even fully recovered from the nightmare that was midterms. 

And not only had he been stupid busy with school, but his alpha kept pacing about like a caged animal every time it spotted lingering eyes on the blonde. The way he’d have to hold himself back from actually fighting off the assholes that thought they could touch his baby boy…

“What? you don’t want to be a big fancy lawyer anymore?” Naruto asked with a small laugh 

He groaned again “Can’t believe I still have two more years to go” 

“Hey!” The blonde chastised, climbing over him and pinning him on the bed “I’m barely finishing my bachelor's, you finished yours and got admitted into law school” he leaned down and kissed the raven “You’re amazing” he dropped his forehead on Sasuke's “Not that I don’t feel a little lonely with all the studying you have to do but…still amazing”

The raven smirked his hands falling on the blonde's hips “Really, is that why you’ve been more aggressive than usual every time we get downtime?” he whispered against the blonde's lips.

Naruto blushed slightly pouting at the raven, his eyes falling to where his bite had been, it had faded too long ago now… Sasuke sat up, holding the blonde close to him, running his thumb over his lower lip “Baby boy, you just put it right back where it was” he muttered, turned on by the red blush that settled on the tan cheeks and the desire that flowed out of the blonde “I’d like to see my own” He muttered his fingers grazing the blonde’s neck “Right here” he said lowly, his fingers digging slightly on his scent gland. 

Blue eyes widened, his insides stirring “Sas…you do know usually couples start biting as a sign of…intentions…right?” he said blushing, even superficial bites created less tangible bonds, a couple might bite every once in a while to get a little kinky. But if they started doing it consistently it was probably because they truly believed it would lead to a bondmark. 

“Maybe I’d like that” Naruto could feel his heart fluttering the love and affection quickly intertwining with doubt and hesitation. He pulled back, sliding off the raven and sitting on the bed. 

“Naru?” Sasuke asked sitting up

“It’s just...it took so long for you to…” he stopped, staring at the bedsheets, upset at the burning in his eyes. He didn’t want to think about how long it had taken, about how he felt while he waited. He wanted to think about how honest Sasuke’s feelings were and acknowledge that he was trying with everything he had.

Sasuke could feel the uncertainty and the hurt and he moved to pull the blonde into a hug “Hey” he squeezed nuzzling the top of his head “Hey, I’m sorry, I know it took me a while to come to terms with how I felt about you...but, it’s done Naru, I’m in” he pulled back a bit cupping the blonde's cheeks “I’m all in baby boy, I’m not going anywhere” 

Naruto bit his lips willing the tears down, he felt Sasuke’s emotions, he knew the honesty and truth of their relationship when they were together. But he was also so worn down by the gossip, by all the voices repeating over and over: him? 

“I’m sorry,” he said hiccuping a bit and leaning forward so Sasuke could wrap his arms around him burying his face in the raven’s neck “I’m sorry, I trust you, I know you are, I do” 

“I know it isn’t easy Naru” strong arms pulled him close “I need you to stop holding back. I need you to tell me if you're having a hard time don’t just keep it to yourself, I need to know if there is anything I can do to make it better” he pulled back so Naruto could look him in the eyes, “You tell me so I can be here for you, so I can hold you and reassure you, that's my job now” Naruto let his forehead fall on the raven’s chest, his hand gripping his shirt.

“I don’t believe them, I don’t want to listen to them, I just—sometimes when it’s silent, their words echo, and…” and he wondered if he was really good enough, he wondered if it was real. He wondered if Sasuke would turn into his meant-to-be that never was. 

A small part of himself was terrified that Sasuke would be put off as soon as he started acting jealous, or insecure. That if he started asking about the omegas or betas the alpha had been with or if he showed any sign of being upset Sasuke would think the whole thing was—after all—too much trouble. 

"You tell me so I can be here for you, so I can hold you and reassure you, that's my job now”

He did feel a little guilty for not giving Sasuke enough credit…he needed to drive home that the Sasuke from the rumors wasn’t what he should expect from the man sitting across from him. He did feel so much better just knowing that Sasuke was well aware of how he felt, knowing the raven wanted to be there for him.

“Baby boy…they don’t know that you’re special, they don’t know that I’m the one that needs to be worthy of you” The raven let out a sigh “Maybe they do now…” He ran his thumb over the tan cheek “They gather around you, sneak around looking for opportunities to look at you, talk to you, and baby does it drive me insane…must be karma for letting you see me with others for so long” 

“I mean…” the blonde said with a shrug of his shoulders, the tense mood breaking. He gave the raven a look that said: You did walk a whole parade of omegas right in front of my face. 

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, pushing the blonde back on the bed and climbing over him “Didn’t I just apologize?”

“Might need to hear that apology a couple more times” The raven gave him an understanding smile “As many times as you want me to say it—on one condition”

“It’s supposed to be atonement—no conditions”

“Humor me,” Sasuke said leaning down and kissing him softly “Fine,” the blonde muttered against the raven's lips.   

“Will you think about it? The marking”

The blonde smiled at him blushing and nodding.

“No,” Naruto said easily, the taller blonde glared at him “Naruto you can’t just not party or go out ever again ” 

“Ino I just want to stay home and burrow into my couch, this semester is killing me” 

She raised a perfect eyebrow at him, her eyes falling on the trail of lovebites down his neck “I’d say you burrow into something else other than your couch” she smirked as the blonde grew bright red “Ino!” 

She laughed before she grew a little more serious “Really Naru, you didn’t do anything wrong” He bit his lip, falling back on the couch “Hinata’s been saying—”

“Don’t mind what Hinata says” Ino said irritated. There was a story doing rounds that Naruto had persistently sought out the raven, even after Hinata had told him she was serious about Sasuke. Ultimately he 'seduced' Sasuke away and Hinata had been left heartbroken and betrayed. The little story had gotten Alphas all curious since apparently, Naruto would do anything Sasuke asked for. As if the stupid alpha dogs hadn't been intrigued before...Ino had made it a point to walk Naru to class if Sasuke wasn't able to.  

She grabbed the pale wrist and tugged Hinata to follow her, the girl shook her hand off as Ino walked her into the restroom “Let go!”

“What the hell was that?" Ino asked " You know something is going on between Sasuke and Naru”

“And he knew something was going on between Sasuke and me, but that didn’t stop him, why would I have to hold back? He sure didn’t”

“Hinata, you know it’s different,” Ino said warningly 

“You know how fucked up that was? For him to get involved with Sasuke even though he knew I liked him? Even though he knew I was fighting for more”

“Fuck Hinata he told you he’d be sleeping with other people and you said yes, you agreed to that”

“Well so did Naruto so why the fuck are you angry at me?” 

“Yes, and he saw you kissing Sasuke just now and didn’t say a word, he just walked away because he knows that. What’s fucked is that Sasuke had already told you he wasn’t going to be sleeping with you anymore” Ino said levelly staring Hinata down “But knowing that Sasuke might be close to getting serious with Naruto you still pulled that shit just now. Why don't you tell me what he told you before you kissed him huh?" Hinata stared at the floor, her smell growing sour and her temper rising. 

“I think he told you he'd already chosen Naru" Lilac eyes snapped back to icy blue "You know if the roles were reversed and he’d picked you Naruto would have respected that, he would have backed down, that's what a real friend does” Ino added. 

“You don’t know that" 

“I do though, and so do you” Naruto wasn’t vengeful, he would have cried his little heart out, but he would have taken a step back and hidden all the sadness from Hinata so she wouldn’t be uncomfortable. 

“I thought you were talking to Kiba,” Ino said eyes growing a little icier “What exactly are you going to tell him when he hears all the gossip? When he sees on video how you leaned up to kiss someone else” 

“It’s not like we’re dating” Hinata muttered, she hadn’t even thought…

Ino let out a sigh “You just complicated things for everyone ‘Nata, I understand you’re hurting, but you really fucked up, if the gossip from this little stunt fucks things up for Naru—” Hinata growled slightly growing defensive.

“Alright enough” she snapped “Maybe I should just tell Sasuke to watch out for you. Are you still hung up on him? Let’s see how you feel when Naruto picks Sasuke over you and if you remain just as level-headed as you want me to be”

Ino was quiet for a few seconds, her pheromones grew heavy, Hinata shivered under the icy stare “I hope you know some of the shit you say and do can’t be taken back”  

They hadn’t talked since, but Hinata was doing plenty of talking to other people “I apologized” the blonde said softly, she wouldn’t answer his calls, but he’d sent a message, he told her he was sorry he hadn't talked to her earlier, that he understood the need to want to fight for someone. After all, he'd been there with Sasuke too, and just as easily he could have ended up in Hinata's situation. He just wanted to sit with her talk it out and move on...he was quickly blocked after that. 

“You shouldn’t have, Sasuke told you he made it clear to her he was ready to date you, and she still kissed him” 

“Have you talked to her?” he asked biting his lip. They'd all met each other their freshman year, it sucked that just like that their friendship seemed to be over. It hurt to hear what Hinata was saying about him behind his back knowing how private he was about his omega status. 

“No,” Ino said easily before she grabbed the pillow she’d put on her lap throwing it at the blonde “That’s not what we were talking about, though” 

“Sasuke likes going out doesn’t he?” She asked, trying to get the blonde to stop thinking about their treacherous ex-friend.

“Not that I’m implying he doesn’t have plenty of fun with you at home” she smiled mischievously “But maybe he’d like to have fun with you outside the house—you know on the restroom at the club, on some dumb jocks bedroom at a fraternity house, perhaps on the back of the car at the bonfire tomorrow” The blonde burst into laughter, finally breaking away from his lingering thoughts on Hinata.

“Stop!” He smiled softly at her, feeling warm inside at the thought of going out with the raven as an official couple “I do want to go out with him”

“No better way to shut down the haters than showing them exactly how good you’re doing” Ino added before she dragged him off to his room to figure out what he should wear.

Falling Hard 

Chapter 14: Fated

He didn’t expect to be so excited to go out, usually, Ino had to drag him out, and yes he always ended up having fun, but it was a completely different feeling to walk around with Sasuke’s arm around his waist.

He was happy Karin had a mind to chill on the opposite side of the bonfire with half of Sasuke’s friends and some of her girlfriends. He could feel the stares—it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand,  but he shook the feeling, he was there with Sasuke and they were going to have fun. 

So he stopped looking at other people and centered on his friends, letting Ino and T talk him into dancing with them, laughing as Sasuke pulled him back after a couple of songs, hugging him tight from behind  “You gonna dance with me like that or just with the girls?” 

“What are you an octopus?” Ino asked walking up to the pair and trying to pull the blonde back towards her “Go talk to your roommate who claims he hasn’t seen your ass in two weeks—he’s absolutely dejected” Sasuke’s arms instinctively tightened around him at first and Naru held back a laugh, even though he wasn’t looking at Sasuke’s face he knew the raven was rolling his eyes at Ino. Still, he loosened his grasp on him, and let the taller blonde drag him off to where Ten, Lee, and Konan were dancing. The raven squeezed his hand right before he was out of his grasp. 

“Alright big boy, he’ll only be a few feet away” Ino hollered back taking in the slight intensity in Sasuke’s eyes. 

He’d look over to Sasuke between songs, catching the slight smile that settled on his lips as his friends howled at him, making fun of his newly taken status. But the way Sasuke’s eyes lifted and found his as his friends were trying to embarrass him made him feel like he'd swallowed a boxful of butterflies. 

He stilled a bit as the boys dragged Sasuke over to where the other half of their group had been hanging out with Karin. He took a breath and a sip from his drink—he didn’t need to be concerned, Sasuke and Karin had barely been on speaking terms. 

He’d felt guilty at how pleased he’d been when he saw the rift grow between the pair…he’d been happy then ashamed, knowing that even though Sasuke claimed he’d never seen himself in a relationship with the redhead they were close friends. Karin had been part of  Sasuke’s inner circle… just as Hinata had been part of his and Ino’s…If she hadn’t decided to completely stop talking to him he wouldn’t have wanted to chase her away from hanging out with their friends. Even though he had a lot of mixed feelings, he often found himself missing the friend he’d come to know and grew sad at the realization that at this point his friendship with Nata most likely couldn’t be fixed.

Ino got a phone call and gave him a look that told him she’d be right back, he tried getting into T’s and Lee's conversation but felt like fish out of water as they talked theory of sports medicine. So he diverted his attention back to Sasuke’s group, it looked like Suigetsu was now having a heated argument with Karin and whatever was being said seemed to have Hidan in a fit of laughter. A bet, he thought, because Suigetsu looked sour as he grabbed the can of beer that was offered to him poking a hole in its side and chugging the contents.

He was trying to build the confidence to walk over, he knew people would have something to say about him walking up to Sasuke while Karin was there. That he was jealous, possessive, insecure…overbearing. He held in the urge to sigh and tipped his drink back again, no matter what he did, the rumor mill would pick up on it and bend it over and backward, people always made their own narrative. 

“Boy just go join him, you can do that now,” T said holding in a laugh, and he blushed looking down at his plastic cup. He just needed to do what he wanted to do, and he wanted to be with Sasuke. He shook his shoulders a bit and nodded to himself. 

Ten Ten chuckled  “You ain't going to war you know” 

“I can walk you over if you want” Lee added and he frowned “I can walk across the bonfire just fine” He grumbled as he turned and started making his way over. 

“I can see what’s happening” Ten hollered after him 

“What?” Lee asked loudly

“And they don’t have a clue”

“Who?”

“They’ll fall in love and here’s the bottom line, our trio’s down to two!” T continued dramatically before she jumped straight to “Disaster in the air!!!”

“Can you feel the love tonight?” they both started signing off key and he couldn’t help but burst into laughter turning around and flipping the pair of comedians off. 

His friends burst into laughter “How many times have you both seen The Lion King?!” He hollered back, but then cussed as he tripped bumping against someone “Shit, sorry!” He said quickly turning around.

He stilled a bit as he caught sight of the brunette. Kiba Inuzuka, designated heartthrob for the science department. He instantly felt hyperaware that Hinata had been talking to Kiba. He didn’t know much about their relationship since they had already become sort of estranged after Hinata spotted him and Sasuke at the club that first time. But he knew they were involved one way or another. 

Kiba’s eyes widened recognizing the blonde “Sorry” He repeated trying to step to the side and around the brunette, but Kiba reached out grabbing  his wrist “What’s the rush?” He asked “Least you could do is finish your drink with me” He offered with a playful smile. 

He let out a nervous laugh “I’m sure you were looking for your friends or something” His free hand instinctively came up to rub his neck and brown eyes trailed the lovebites Sasuke had left littered about. 

“So how serious is your relationship with the most sought-after Alpha on school grounds?” He caught the added sarcasm towards the end, and suddenly he could feel goosebumps travel down his skin, realizing that despite Kiba’s easygoing posture he was actually angry, his intentions in sparking this conversation were not good.

He locked eyes with the brunette “Maybe you’ve had one too many of those” he said pointing at the beer Kiba was holding “Because that's a bold question to ask someone you’ve never met” He grit out fighting the need to shrink before the upset alpha. 

He hoped the comment would throw the alpha off, or at the very least make him feel aware that he was most definitely trying to use his alpha pheromones to get him to yield. He tried to walk again, wanting the conversation to be over but Kiba took another step towards him and he could feel his breath on his “What’s so special about him really? I’d really like to be enlightened—or are you the one that’s special?” He asked his fingers tilting the blonde's chin slightly. 

Naruto refused to step back, he wasn’t about to give the alpha what he wanted, so he hissed at the brunette instead “Step back” 

Then Kiba was gone, stumbling back, and he caught Sasuke’s scent before his eyes centered on the raven’s back, growing even tenser as Sasuke let out a deep warning growl “A little close, weren’t you Inuzuka?” 

As if Sasuke’s heavy threatening alpha pheromones weren’t enough the moment Kiba’s own clashed against Sasuke's Naruto felt like someone had thrown a pack of sandbags on top of him. He could barely breathe for a few seconds, freezing in place. 

“It’s not as fun when it’s your Omega getting hit on, huh?” Kiba grit out, his own eyes flashing red.

“I’m the wrong person to pick this fight with,” Sasuke said voice dark “I wasn’t the one seeking her out, so if there’s someone you should be confronting it’s her, but if you’re going to drag Naruto into this then be my guest, we can settle this right now” 

“Kiba” another brunette his hair in a ponytail nudged the alpha back, Naruto recognized him, his name was Shikamaru, beta—he was friends with Ino. 

“C’mon man let it go” Shikamaru nudged again tugging on the brunette's wrist slowly his eyes settled on Sasuke weighing his reaction. The seconds stretched out forever before Kiba finally slowly turned to walk away but he seemed to change his mind last minute, turning back to look  Sasuke in the eye. 

“I hope your omega bitch opens his legs for someone else so you know exactly how it fucking feels” 

And all hell broke loose, the words had barely left Kiba’s mouth and Sasuke’s fist was already connecting with his face. He could feel Sasuke’s anger, he could feel his own, Kiba had never even talked to him, where did he even get off? And then at the same time, the realization that his alpha could be in danger was crippling. 

“Sasuke!” The blonde made to move to try and pull the raven off Kiba but Konan and T pulled him back “Naru! You know you can't cut in like that” 

He looked over to see Kiba land a punch on Sasuke’s ribs and the brunette might as well be hitting him “I know how to fight” he let out cursing as the girl's grip on him tightened. Both men growled and hissed as they rolled on the ground, Sasuke landing on top of Kiba, holding the brunette down and bringing his fist down on his face. 

He slipped off the girl's grasp only to be dragged back around but this time he turned over and Ino’s icy eyes stilled him in place “Stay put” she commanded “If you  jump in there and get hurt Sasuke’s going to go feral” 

He was slightly upset she went as far as to command him but he stilled nonetheless. 

Juugo stepped up and pulled the raven off Kiba and Shikamaru dragged Kiba up and held him in place, as he trashed, growling “Let go!”

“That's enough man–you’ll end up turning this whole party into a brawl” 

Juugo was doing the same, trying to catch the raven’s eyes so he could reason with him “Sasuke” another growl from the raven “Sas that’s enough” 

Kiba’s nose was bleeding and the right side of his face was quickly swelling “You need to take Naruto home” Juugo tried, and the raven stilled at the blonde's name. Both groups of friends tensely faced off waiting to see if this would escalate. 

Another guy with a bigger build joined Shikamaru and helped drag Kiba further back into the crowd trying to calm him down and de-escalate the situation; Sasuke turned over to the blonde. His lip was bloody and dirt smudged on his face and clothes. He shook Juugo’s hands off him still on edge “I got it” 

“Are you hur—” He didn’t get to finish the phrase as the raven walked up to him and pulled him flush against him, leaning down to kiss him, fingers threading through blonde hair. 

“It’s ok” the blonde whispered, leaning up and licking at the raven’s bloody lip, he’d never quite been in a confrontation like that but he knew that he needed to get his alpha out of there and somewhere he could help calm him down “I’m ok” he assured softly “Please take me home,”  He wasn’t used to making ‘requests’ as an omega, but he kind of understood now why they were necessary sometimes, just like how Ino’s command had kind of been the only thing that kept him from turning this whole situation into a shit show. 

On the ride back Sasuke was gripping the wheel so hard his knuckles grew white and he reached over grabbing one of the raven’s hands interlacing their fingers together, bringing the bruising knuckles up to his lips and kissing them softly. 

“You got hurt dummy” 

“I should have broken something” The raven spat back in a small growl. 

Sasuke was on edge, upset, his pheromones barely controlled by the time they walked into his apartment. He nudged the raven over to the shower, knowing that being able to smell him would help—being able to see he was ok even though Sasuke had been the one to actually physically get hurt. 

They only bothered to towel themselves dry as they fell on the bed, Sasuke pulled him close burying his face in his neck and hugging him tightly.

“Fuck” the raven muttered, his fingers gripping at the tan skin, Naruto climbed on top of the raven, his fingers grazing the bruising ribs before he leaned over to feather kisses over the raven’s bruising cheekbone and his cut lip “I would never go to someone else” he whispered softly nuzzling the raven’s neck and scenting him.

Sasuke woke when he felt the bed dip, his arm stretched out to Naru’s side of the bed to find it cold. He rolled back sitting up blinking his eyes open and centering them where he’d felt the bed dip. He spotted the tray with breakfast, a bag of frozen peas right next to the plate of scrambled eggs.

“Morning" Naru mumbled as he grabbed the bag of frozen peas and brought it up to his face "I hope you’re aware I will refuse any liability for the damage done to your face last night,” He said lightheartedly but the half smile told him the blonde was still upset he’d gotten into that fight the night prior. 

He shifted the tray to the side, grabbing the bag of frozen peas and placing it back on the tray before he pulled the blonde over to him “Baby boy” Naru's halfhearted smile was replaced by a pout but he allowed himself to be dragged over to where Sasuke had sat up nonetheless. 

“Don’t baby boy me” he chastised. 

“Baby boy” he repeated, he loved the way Naru’s smell got sweeter whenever he used any pet names on him.  He pulled the blonde back to his front and leaned over to kiss the tan neck “First of all walking away would have been disrespectful towards you” His hands slithered under the loose grey t the blonde had on, his fingers grazing the shivering belly “Two, it would have spoken volumes about the type of alpha I am”

“I can’t tell if you’re trying to have a serious conversation with me or distracting me right now” The blonde muttered softly. 

He smirked flipping them on the bed and climbing over the blonde, the tray shifting slightly next to them "Both" 

“Hey! I woke up early so I could feed you” 

He smirked down a the blonde and leaned down to kiss the pout away “And I am flattered your omega instinct kicked in and you felt the need to provide your alpha some sustenance”

He’d said it jokingly and the sparkle in the blue eyes told him Naru knew that, but the blonde still shifted his knee up trying to land a kick in his stomach “Where did the concern for my injuries go?” he asked, Naru laughed pushing him off and flipping them. Cussing as some of the coffee spilled onto the tray “You’re a danger to this tray of food” He grumbled reaching over and sliding the tray over to the nightstand.

Sasuke’s hands fell on his waist stilling him in place above him “Me?” he said amused “Nothing spilled when I climbed on top of you” The blonde frowned and stuck his tongue out at him. 

He sat up holding the blonde to him as he stole his lips, sucking and biting until Naru leaned back gasping for air “Stop wearing the blockers” he muttered against abused lips. 

His baby boy shifted his hip, nudging him to grind back on him “If I stop wearing the blockers other alphas will be able to smell me” he countered softly. 

He met the blonde’s shifting hips and felt his belly coil at the lust pooling in the blue eyes, he leaned down raking his teeth through the tan neck before he rubbed his cheek on the blondes scent gland “I want them to smell us, I want to mark you” he felt Naru shivering, his hips moving against him and sending little shots of electricity through him, he could smell him slicking. 

Naruto let his forehead fall against his gasping softly, even it if wasn’t a bonding mark, even if bites would fade, he needed more. Sasuke hadn't fought Kiba because of some misguided need to defend his alphahood. He'd done it because Kiba had disrespected his omega, it had been instinctual--Sasuke saw him as a true potential mate...

Yours. His omega demanded. Just like Sasuke’s alpha had the previous night, he was surprised the raven was able to control himself, that despite how close to feral in his need he’d been he hadn’t just bit him out of need the way he had the first time. 

“I'm biting back” he muttered against the raven’s lips ripping a small growl from the alpha as he pushed him down on the bed again sucking his lower lip and biting at it softly, his hands finding the hem of his shirt and making quick work of pulling it over his head.

Sasuke’s black eyes had a sheen of red to them, and the intensity behind the raven’s want, made him feel like there was lava pooling in his belly.

He was looking down at his baby boy, he’d never quite understood why his alpha had wanted the blonde so badly even after he’d pushed him away relentlessly.

It’s because he was his. 

Naruto was always meant to be his. 

It went beyond ownership, it went beyond his alpha wanting to claim an omega. 

Whether the blonde knew it or not, they were meant to be bonded pairs. He felt it all the way to his bones.

He pulled back and easily pulled the blonde's pants off, leaving a trail of lovebites from his baby ribs all the way down to his hipbones, satisfied with the way he shivered under him, gasping softly and bucking into him. His hand nudged his baby boy's thighs apart bypassing his erection and easily sliding two fingers through his entrance with no resistance, pulling a deep noise of satisfaction from him "This for me?" he muttered as he leaned down to kiss the blondes bellybutton, settling between the tan thighs and spreading them further.

"Sas" His name fell off the pretty lips like a mantra. 

His eyes fell hungrily on that little hole that was dripping for him, his mouth was literally watering. 

“Don’t stare” The blonde tried to close his legs and he gripped them harder, leaning over and biting the tan thigh, dragging a sweet little keen from him. 

“You know” he muttered between butterfly kisses scattered on tan thighs “If you stop wearing the blockers, I’ll take you like this every chance I get princess” His eyes fell back on his price, his baby boys slicking entrance, he licked at his lips as he reached over to scoop the slick with his fingers before he pushed it back inside the blonde "Aww fuck—Sas, that's mmm!" He thrust back against his fingers gasping.

He smirked as he continued thrusting his fingers in completely enraptured by how they disappeared into his omega "Any alpha that dares smell you will only be able to smell just how good I take care of you” He leaned forward and licked along the twitching entrance, his free hand steadying tan hips in place as his baby boy trashed overwhelmed “Oh ngh—I need—ah!” he dipped his tongue inside and groaned his baby tasted just like he smelled, like sweet oranges, he'd never get enough. His erection was hard and demanding to slide inside, to claim his omega. 

He thrust his tongue in, lapping at the slick, between the needy gasps of air, the twitching thighs, and the blonde moving back against his tongue— demanding more he thought he might just come without even touching himself but he was looking forward to being deep inside the blonde when he bit him. A small growl made its way out at the image and he pulled back, shifting over the blonde again and stealing his lips “Baby boy they’ll be able to smell nothing but sated omega” 

“Alpha” the blonde gasped against his lips, eyes filling with tears at the overstimulation. He tilted his head to the side showing the raven his neck and shifting under him asking for more. He growled again leaning down and biting the blonde's neck lightly “Fuck, Sas, stop teasing!” Naru let out a frustrated growl and he couldn't help but chuckle, his baby never could decide if he wanted to be submissive and pliable or a demanding princess. He made quick work of taking his pants off, reaching over to the nightstand, and quickly grabbing a condom from the drawer. 

“What do you want baby boy?” the raven whispered by his ear as he settled between his thighs again, thrusting into his own hand to give himself some release before he slid the condom on.  

“Take me” the blonde replied, reaching out to grip the raven's neck and bringing him down on his lips again.

“Whose are you baby?” his voice was dark and full of desire as he leaned forward pushing in ever so slowly. 

“Ah–yes” The blonde gasped 

“Whose?” Sasuke asked again, his thrust slow but hard. 

“Yours alpha” the blonde gasped his hips meeting Sasukes “Your omega” 

And that snapped any self-control that Sasuke had as he set a brutal pace, thrusting hard and straight into the blonde, going in deeper, closing his eyes as he felt the omega squeeze him. He slid an arm under the blonde's hips lifting them off the bed a bit to get a better angle, burying his face in his neck “You show them”  he teethed at the blonde's upper neck and he felt him shiver and melt under him. His knot was quickly forming, catching on his rim, he needed him, all of him. He needed Naruto to feel him inside, outside, everywhere, he needed to be the only thing the blonde could think about at that moment. 

He wanted to claim. 

He wanted to belong. 

“Bite me” the blonde gasped and he felt himself come undone as he sank his teeth into his neck, he was only slightly startled when the blonde bit back, and his climax crashlanded on him at the overwhelming feeling. He locked it into place and spilled, filling the condom. He sank his teeth in deeper as he thought about how badly he wanted to be spilling into the blonde, what it would feel like to claim him the inside just like he was doing from the outside.  

He let go of the tender skin licking and nuzzling the spot and humming falling down on the blonde careful not to crush him. 

Damn, he had no fucking self-control, his baby boy would be sore all week long. But there he was, purring against him, licking at his neck.

“Alright, no blockers,” The blonde said softly, Sasuke was right, not only would their mixed smells turn off alphas trying to catch his omega smell, but by skipping on the blockers he would be able to smell Sasuke on him constantly, and his smell would provide him with safety and security. 

“I love you baby boy” The raven’s voice rang in his ear and he felt his heart flutter, he circled his arms around the raven as he buried his face on his shoulder “Baby boy?” The raven asked as heard a small sniffle. 

“Sush” The blonded murmured his body shaking under him slightly and he pulled the blonde back, shifting as much as he could without hurting the blonde. 

“You’re not allowed to take it back now,” Naruto said softly “Ever” 

He kissed the wet cheeks, licking at the salty tears “Oh princess” he dropped his forehead against the blonde's “You’re the one that’s not allowed to take it back, no matter who comes along”

 He stared at his reflection in the mirror, his heartbeat was so loud. He brought his hand up and his fingers grazed over Sasuke’s bite.

“I love you, baby boy” 

He got startled out of his thoughts as strong arms hugged him from behind, he leaned back into the raven “Pretty” he said, looking plenty satisfied with himself. 

He laughed softly “You would think so, you put it there”

Sasuke smirked, his lips feathering over the mark “Like you weren’t dying to place the one that faded right back on my neck” he said smugly and enjoyed the red that spread over the blonde's cheeks. 

“Stop it” The blonde muttered, his belly coiling as he smelled and felt Sasuke's desire “We got to get going, and I’m sore enough as is, thank you very much” 

“Say’s the one that growled at me when I pulled out, demanding I go back inside” 

“Sasuke!” He scolded whirling in the raven's arms and pouting at him. At least he’d managed to hold the ‘take the condom off and fill me up’ and ended up growling a ‘back inside’ instead. 

He smelled his baby boy and hummed contentedly at their mixed smells “You make sure Itachi sees it before prep today” He said as he grabbed the blonde's hand leading him out of the bathroom. 

“So inappropriate” the blonde chastised blushing “You leave your brother alone Sasuke”

Falling Hard

Chapter 15: You and I 

People were talking. 

It was like the first day they showed up on campus together all over again. Everyone was either nose deep in their phones replaying the videos of the fight or their eyes were shamelessly following him and Sasuke around, quickly turning back to their friends as they spotted the bites, their voices growing louder. 

Sasuke had held his hand and even offered to skip his first class to stay by the library that morning. He’d told him not to, he would be back for prep in a couple of hours, and with finals approaching he had no business skipping class. 

After the raven had hesitantly left he did his best to keep his expression neutral as the alphas that came around were actually able to pick up his scent, frowning at the mix of alpha and omega pheromones then their eyes were quick to find the mark on his neck. At the sight, some of the alphas that had been prowling around the library finally took their leave, and to his utter frustration, others seemed more interested.

He was startled out of his thoughts as someone placed an iced coffee by the notebook he’d been reviewing. He looked up from the reception desk to offer Itachi a smile  “You’re just doing it to make Sasuke angry now” 

“Good to keep an alpha on his toes” his eyes fell on his neck and he felt the blood rush to his face as the raven offered him a trademark Uchiha smirk “Though I see he’s finally stepping up” 

“You talking shit?” Sasuke never failed to arrive almost right behind Itachi, he was also carrying an iced coffee, he glared at the cup currently in front of the blonde “So nice of you to bring me something” He told his brother, reaching for the iced coffee in front of the blonde and swapping it for the one he’d brought. 

Naruto barely managed to hold in a laugh at the childish move. 

“Too sweet for you” Itachi replied with a small smirk

“Imma need the sugar high to get through your prep session” 

“I’m an excellent teacher,” Itachi replied, unphased. “See you when we get out,” Itachi offered him with a small smile. 

“Debatable” Sasuke muttered with a roll of his eyes before he turned to the blonde who he knew was trying his hardest not to laugh “See you right after” he winked at him. 

It was always a little noisy right before prep, that’s when most people pretended to ‘study’ at the library so they could sneak a look at the brothers. It took twenty to thirty minutes but the library would settle, and then he could actually work on some of his assignments. Voices grew a little louder and his eyes drifted momentarily to the table where the group of girls he’d confronted the first time he showed up with Sasuke had officially set up shop. They were there for every single prep session—he’d like to take a look at their grades, very little studying was actually taking place. 

The platinum blonde—who turned out to be named Jessaca—like you had to pronounce it as jess-Ah-k—looked at him in contempt before she turned to the brunette next to her, who was named, wait for it, Harmony. 

“He really showed up with a bite, like bet his insecure ass begged Sas for it” Sas? He gripped the counter holding in a hiss. 

They’d just come back from spring break and he couldn’t wait for summer vacation. 

“Someone should probably tell Sasuke how friendly he is with his brother”   

He usually sat there and pretended he couldn’t hear them, they could try and spread as many rumors as they wanted. It wouldn’t change a thing, whoever looked at that video of Sasuke fighting Kiba would know Sasuke was officially off the market. He’d never once fought for an omega, and he couldn’t care less if he saw anyone he’d been with get together with another alpha.

Even as he made the very sound argument in his head as to why he just needed to let the group of girls be, he couldn’t help but make a point once Sasuke was out of prep. 

He leaned over the reception desk nudging Sasuke to lean in “What was it you wanted to do to me at work?” he said softly before he leaned back and placed the ‘back in 5 minutes sign’ on the desk. 

The response in Sasuke was instant, desire filled the air as the raven’s eyes grew dark he wasted no time following behind him toward the restrooms. 

He didn’t need to look back to know that the girls were probably simmering in pure anger and jealousy.  

What begging? He didn’t actually need to beg his alpha for anything, he just needed to ask nicely.

  “Sasuke- ah” he opened his legs to allow the raven to settle between them as he licked and nipped at the skin on his neck “I’m so tired” He groaned, both in pleasure and in frustration. Sasuke was going to get him all riled up but he could barely keep his eyes open. 

“Mmmm”

“You said you were tired too” He squirmed under the raven, they’d just finished their finals and the lead-up to their exams had been nothing short of brutal. 

“I am” 

“Then?” The blonde said pulling back and pouting.

“It’s just baby boy—” Sasuke inhaled deeply as he licked at his scent gland “You smell so sweet” There was a small growl at the end of the sentence as the raven teethed at the bite on his neck and pushed his whole weigh down on him, rubbing their erections together. 

His eyes fluttered closed and he all but became liquid under raven, his desire bubbled into urgency the moment he smelled the turned-on alpha on top of him and he threw his head back shivers running down his spine. 

Who needed sleep? That didn’t matter as long as he had Sasuke inside of him growing bigger, getting so turned on by him he wouldn’t be able to stop until his knot was deep—He felt like the air got knocked out of him for a second and it took all of his will power to nudge Sasuke to move off him. 

The alpha actually growled, pushing the blonde back down before he froze, sitting back and frowning “Sorry I don't know why…” 

Naruto sat up, clearing his throat, his gaze falling on the confused alpha “Sasuke” The raven looked at him pushing back the need to just shove the blonde back into the bed—just what had gotten into him?

“I think I’m going into heat” 

Sasuke sat still for a few seconds, his mouth watering at the sweet smell coming off his baby boy. 

“I think, I was so busy with finals, I—I thought I was feeling sick because of how stressed and busy I’d been”

“Naru,” he said lowly trying to hold on to his common sense, while all he could think about was his baby boy ass up on the bed. 

“Then I assumed I was feeling needier because you’d been spending most nights at your apartment studying with the guys—ugh if mom found out I lost track of my heat like this she’d ground me for months—”

He reached over pulling the blonde closer and kissing him to get him to stop talking, he ended up pushing him right back down on the bed as he climbed over him biting at his lips and growling lightly as the omega shivered under him. He groaned, dropping his forehead on Naruto’s shoulder before he sat back moving to the edge of the bed. 

“Baby boy—What do you want to do?” 

The blonde closed his eyes, forcing himself to try and think rationally “We hadn’t talked about this” 

Sasuke wanted to break something, they should have . He closed his eyes, taking a couple of deep breaths and regretting it instantly. 

“I don’t want you to go,” The blonde said softly shaking as he looked up “But you should” 

There was so much he wanted to talk to Sasuke about before he saw him like that, would they both be responsible enough to not accidentally bond out of raw instinct? It was too late to have that conversation now.

Sasuke closed his eyes, willing his alpha not to snap at the blonde for suggesting he leave him alone during a heat. 

“Sas” He looked at his omega, flushed and conflicted, he didn’t need to make this harder for him, he needed to be better. 

“Ok, yes, I hear you” he stood taking a couple of steps away from the bed “What do you need? What can I get for you?” he asked, running his hand through his hair and tugging at the strands in frustration. He made a mental note of the items the blonde listed for him and allowed himself to lean over so he could kiss his baby boy's forehead before he made his way out of the room. 

Naruto allowed his body to fall on the bed after Sasuke had left for the grocery store letting the tears that had been gathering in his eyes fall. 

He wanted him to stay, he needed him to stay, and at the same time, he knew they weren’t ready yet. He wanted to tell Sasuke he was on birth control and they could stop using the condoms, he wanted the alpha to take him bare, he wanted to present for him—He kneened into the pillow rubbing his thighs at the thought, he didn’t want to do any of that in the middle of a heat he probably wouldn’t remember. 

Sasuke was quick, grabbing the items the blonde had asked for and rushing back to the apartment, he quickly closed the door and as the smell of pre-heat slapped him in the face again he stood there giving himself a couple of minutes to calm down so he wouldn’t give in to his need to walk to the room, strip the blonde and take him. 

He found Naruto with the blankets pulled all the way over his head he placed some of the water and snacks on the nightstand for easy access “Naru” he tried tugging at the bedsheets and the blonde held on to them “If I look at you I’m not going to let you go” the strained voice came through. 

He understood that…he was already having a hard time making his body obey his commands to stay off the blonde.

“I’m leaving the snacks and water on the bedside table, please make sure you eat, I’m scenting the house, if you need anything you call me” 

A small barely there “Ok” reached his ears. 

“I’m going to go now” he gritted out, when he stood the blonde's hand reached out from under the covers grabbing his wrist “Can you…can you leave the clothes you’re wearing?” 

God, how was he going to get himself to leave this apartment?

“Yes baby boy” He willed himself to change into a new set of clothes and left the one’s he’d been wearing next to the snacks and water. He scent-marked the apartment and grabbed Naruto’s favorite sofa blanket on his way out taking it with him.

He couldn’t give two shits if someone spotted him as he furiously jerked himself off in his car in the apartment complex parking lot. Some of the rage and frustration he was feeling slowed to a simmer as his load hit the blanket. 

It took him all of thirty minutes to start his car and drive to his apartment, finding himself unwilling to set any more distance between himself and the blonde. The further he drove the worse he felt, he couldn't stop thinking that he needed to be there, that he was the worst for walking away, the bite on his neck stung. 

He closed the door to his apartment and let his forehead fall on the door. He cursed as he remembered that Juugo was going to drive home right after their last final. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and hit dial before he brought the device up to his ear. 

“Sasuke?”

“You think you could stay at my apartment for a couple of days?” He muttered, his body was on fire.

Itachi had been surprised when he’d walked into his brother's apartment, the smell of rutting alpha was strong. It was unusual for an alpha to ask another alpha into their space when they were going through a rut. 

If anything he figured his presence there would make it worse for his brother. He walked up to Sasuke’s bedroom and knocked. 

“ Don’t” he didn’t even bother with a full sentence, but Itachi understood that he meant for him not to go inside the room. 

He stood outside the door patiently waiting for an explanation as to why he’d been called over, his younger brother had always been fiercely independent and rarely even allowed their mother to watch out for him when he’d presented. 

“Naruto’s in heat” Finally rang through and he cussed inwardly as Sasuke growled opening the door and hissing at him, his hands shaking. 

Itachi hadn’t been able to help the spike of interest as his mind went straight to what the blonde would look like mid-heat. He closed his eyes and re-directed his thoughts, looking levelly at his brother “Sorry, I meant your omega no disrespect” 

Sasuke stared at him a bit longer before he grumbled “I need you to keep me here, I can’t trust myself to stay” 

Understanding filtered through him and he nodded at his brother. 

After Sasuke had gone back inside his room he made sure to apply some blockers and set up shop in the living room.  

He had a feeling he had a long week ahead of him. 

It was torture. 

No matter how many times he came it wasn’t enough, the smell on the blanket he’d taken from the blonde's place paled in comparison to how sweet his baby boy had smelled. 

His mind kept tackling him with images of how beautiful Naru would look presenting for him, shamelessly begging to be taken over and over in his insatiable hunger and his rut just doubled down at the image. 

Two days felt like a whole week and he was starting to think that there was absolutely no way he’d make it through. He was in the middle of getting himself off again when his phone started ringing. He groaned and reached over to silence the call but stilled as the blonde’s contact info filled the screen. 

“Baby boy” He muttered, picking up and bringing the phone up to his ear. Unable to stop his hand from sliding over his erection.

“S’ke” the low moan reached his ears and he closed his eyes “S’ke I can’t do this ah”

He gripped himself “Naru” 

“No matter what I do it’s not enough” Another trail of long needy moans and he rubbed the head of his erection “Please come over, please, please, I need you”

“Fuck baby boy you can’t talk to me like that” he growled lowly and a small sob rang through the speaker; he could hear wet sounds in the background and the image of his omega ramming a knotted dildo up his ass had him gripping his dick harder as he stripped it back.

“Everything here smells like you” the blonde sobbed. 

“ Omega—slow down” he commanded, a small whine met his low voice “ I can’t” but he knew the blonde had obeyed.

“Do it slowly” He continued, slowing down his own pace and picking up on the gasps and moans falling from the speaker “You know how to hit the right spot baby boy, you have to build yourself up” 

“I need more, I need it to be faster” 

“ Not yet, are you touching yourself?” 

“Ngh—Alpha please”

“Keep pushing that dildo, all the way, and I need you to strip back your cock, you know how I would do it don’t you?” More sobs rang through the speaker and “I don't need a toy, I need you”   met his ears and he closed his eyes, growling into the phone—he should be there. 

“ Push it harder, it’s me, baby, that’s me you got inside, you can push it harder now” 

“ Ah– I’m so ready, I promise that I’ll be good if you come over” another string of moans and sobs “You can do anything you want, please ” 

“ fuck” He grunted, half caught between unbearable need and feeling helpless at being unable to give his omega what he needed. 

“ Sas—ah”

“I want you to push that knot all the way inside, as deep as I would go, go hard princess”

And a string of curses and sobs left the blonde as he came undone and Sasuke spilled into his fist.

There was some gasping before Naruto’s raw voice reached his ears again “I’m hard again” 

He was wiping at the cum haphazardly and throwing his clothes on before he was rushing out his door only to have Itachi block the door.

“Move” he ordered and his brother crossed his arms his eyes falling to the phone in his hands, the moment he tried to reach for the device Sasuke took a step back, growling at him.

“You want him to hear another alpha’s voice now?” Itachi asked levelly and Sasuke was quick to end the call, his eyes were blown. 

He tried for the door again and when Itachi pulled him back he turned around shoving the older raven. Itachi managed to manhandle him against the door holding him in place “ Listen” he gripped him tighter “You step in his house now and you’ll go feral, won’t even know what you’re doing to him” 

He pushed through the fog of the blondes begging, letting Itachi’s words sink in, he closed his eyes taking a couple of breaths before he cussed. Itachi took a careful step back and Sasuke made to go back to his room. 

“You should leave your phone out here” 

“ Fuck! ” Sasuke cursed again as he slapped the device on the kitchen island.

Naruto thought he’d never come down, he ached, his covers were a mess, and he felt empty and dissatisfied at the lack of his alpha.

He blushed as he reached for his phone and saw how many times he’d ended up calling the raven, he was mortified for a few seconds but his need to reach Sasuke won over as he dialed the number. 

“Hello?” He frowned sitting up and scrunching his nose at the wet sheets. 

“Itachi?” 

“You coming down?” He felt the heat travel through his body, his face was on fire. 

“Um…” he wasn’t sure he even wanted to know why Itachi was picking up Sasuke’s phone “Yeah,” he said softly. 

The raven let out a sigh of relief, he was sure his brother was about to lose his mind “I’ll let him know” 

He figured that Sasuke had ended up calling Itachi so he could keep him away and covered his face embarrassed, what did he end up doing that Itachi had to go as far as to take Sasuke’s phone away?

Sasuke wasted no time, taking him fast and rough when he’d stepped in the shower with him after he arrived at his apartment. 

He’d all but cried—much to his embarrassment—as the raven spilled into the condom knotting him once they sloppily made their way from the shower to the ruined bed. Sasuke bit him so many times. His shoulders, chest, legs…he was obviously still coming down from his own rut and taking everything he’d been held back from. 

Pulling back after he saw how absolutely exhausted the blonde was. He sat by Naruto nudging him to drink water before he went to the kitchen and cut up some fresh fruit for the omega, making sure he ate before he helped him shower again, changing the bedsheets and nudging the half-asleep blonde to lay down.

He hugged his baby boy's body to his own. Low purring met his ears and he looked down to see the blonde’s eyes fluttering closed as he nuzzled his neck, and he too was finally able to fall asleep.

“Sorry” Sasuke muttered softly as he looked at all the bites he’d left behind, taking in the bags under the blonde's eyes, he shouldn’t have pushed him so much the day prior. 

Naruto was cross-legged on the bed looking down at the tray of breakfast Sasuke had brought over, he blushed looking down at the coffee cup he was holding “Not like I would have been able to just lay with you without doing anything” he said embarrassed biting his lip. 

“Baby boy I—I don’t think I can do that again…stay away like that,” Sasuke said levelly, the whole time he’d felt like he’d lost half of himself like his body just permanently settled on alert mode refusing to wind down until he was within the blondes vicinity again.  

“I don’t think I could either” Naruto mumbled, he raised his eyes to meet Sasuke’s “I wanted to spend it with you, I really did, it’s just—I didn’t want to rush into it, I didn’t want us to regret doing something—” Sasuke knew, and he didn’t want Naruto to feel like he had to explain so he opted for lightening the mood. 

“In the heat of the moment?” he offered 

Naruto groaned, letting his body fall on the bed as he rubbed his face “You think you’re so clever don’t you?” 

“Im not?” Sasuke asked climbing over the omega.

His baby boy’s face grew bright red as he groaned again “You’ve really done a number on me you know” he muttered “Two heats in a row now”

“You went into heat—See this is why we should exchange numbers, I’d have been more than happy to help baby boy” 

“Who said I spent it on my own?” Naruto snapped “And I didn’t go into heat, I had my heat, it’s anatomical you know happens every three to six months, really depends on the omega” Naruto added. 

“I know anatomy, well, what is it that I have to do so you’d let me be the one to take care of you next time?” 

His alpha purred at first “I did trigger your heat last time” but then he frowned, pinning the omega’s wrists above his head  “Who was it?” Naruto looked at him confused.

“Last time you said you hadn’t spent your heat alone, who did you spend it with?” He was already thinking of different ways to rip the alpha apart. 

His baby boy’s face filled with color before he leaned up kissing the raven “No one” he bit Sasuke's lip before he pouted up at him  “I lied—you hot-headed alpha, I’ve actually never spent my heat with anyone” One would really have to trust their alpha partner to welcome them into their space knowing they were going into heat—coming across just any random alpha in the middle of your heat…well, that would be tragic for any omega. 

The raven groaned, letting go of the tan wrists and allowing his body to blanket the blonde's body, burying his face in his neck— so if Naru shared his next heat with him…he’d be his first.

“I had promised myself I would behave this morning, you're making that very hard right now”

He moved off the blonde, his back hitting the bed and staring at the ceiling for a few seconds “Can I move in?” He asked and Naruto sat up next to him, his eyes wide “I think you’re still coming down from your rut” he let out. 

Sasuke rolled his eyes “I’m serious, I don’t want you here by yourself, and I don’t want to be anywhere you’re not—plus, it’s not like I didn’t technically spend this whole semester here already” 

He smirked at the speechless blonde, “You don’t want me to?” He asked, knowing perfectly well just by the blonde’s smell what his answer was. The omega pouted at him, throwing a pillow at his face “You know I do ” 

Sasuke laughed, pulling the blonde over him and hugging him close “Embarrassed you can’t seem to live without me anymore?" Sasuke had enough self-confidence, he didn’t need to agree to his statement verbally—his body betrayed him enough as it was.  

“You’re the one asking to move in,” the omega said, sticking his tongue out at him.

Naruto closed his eyes, the fresh air on his skin felt so good. He knew sitting out by the patio would be the better choice. He opened his eyes and caught Sasuke’s impassive face.

“You’re the one who made me wear blockers,” he said amused. 

“Because you still smell stupidly good” Sasuke grumbled, Naru’s post-heat scent continuously reminded him how during the blonde's next heat, he would be his. Fully, wholly, in every sense of the word except for a bondmark. 

Guess that was his next benchmark. 

“Why are you sulking then?” Sasuke had kept him locked up for a couple of extra days refusing to let the omega out in public. 

‘You need to eat more’

‘You need to sleep more’

‘I can still smell you’

All while conveniently coaxing him into bed with him, he couldn’t help the sense of satisfaction that he felt at Sasuke’s Alpha behavior. Funny because in the past he would have thought no alpha had a right to tell him what he could or could not do. When it was Sasuke though…it came across more like concern, like being protected, watched over, cared for.

But concern, or not, he needed some fresh air and had finally set his foot down threatening to tackle the alpha if he didn’t let him go out, the raven had begrudgingly agreed with the condition that he wear blockers. 

“Because I can’t smell you” Sasuke replied, he opened his mouth and the raven interrupted him “I know, I know I asked you to wear them myself, I’m aware” the alpha sulked. 

He couldn’t help the soft laugh that left his lips as he looked at the raven with what could only be perceived as adoration “Alright, I guess I’ve had plenty of air and sun now, let’s head back home” 

Sasuke’s eyes fell over the blonde hair framing the pretty blue eyes before he took in the blonde's playful smile—he was so pretty it was sort of infuriating because he’d turned more than a couple of heads when they’d walked into the restaurant. Funny because if you asked Naruto he’d say it was Sasuke that turned the heads.

But before the pair could get up to leave, Naruto's phone started ringing Sasuke could tell he was weighing whether he wanted to answer the call or not. In the end, he took a steadying breath and brought the phone up to his ear “Hey Mom” 

He was quiet for a few seconds before he raised his eyes back to Sasuke’s “I’m really ok mom, no you don’t have to come over, just took me a little longer to recover—yeah no I uh–was thinking I’d probably stay so I can get a headstart on internship prospects” 

Sasuke felt for the blonde as he could hear Kushina’s raise her voice all the way across the table “I know I don’t have to, but I was thinking it would be nice to get a headstart in doing some research on some of the companies I’d like to apply to” 

Another pause and Sasuke wondered if he should be feeling guilty. The blonde had decided to stay back most of that summer so they could continue spending time together—he knew Naruto missed his parents. He on the other hand was trying to pretend like his mom hadn’t asked him to move back home at least twice since the semester ended. 

“ Mom, I’m not saying I’m not going at all, of course, I’m going to visit” He grew crimson, blue eyes shily lifting to look at him “I’m not hiding anything” 

Naruto didn’t want to lie, he just…After the year he’d had was it really so bad that instead of trying to convince his mom of his feelings for Sasuke, or more over Sasuke’s feelings for him, he just wanted to spend his summer fully enjoying their time together? No homework, no gossip, no work. 

Just him and Sasuke. 

His head thumped against the table as he managed to end the call—after promising his mom he’d Facetime her later that night—and groaned “Mom’s too perceptive” 

“You know, I’d actually love to meet her”

He raised his head squinting at the raven “You say that quite confidently given you’d have to show up to face an omega mother you’ve never introduced yourself to with her son looking like bitten furniture—I don’t think you’re ready for the level of fear you’ll feel” 

He stood outstretching his hand to the blonde “If I face her, think she’d let me come stay with you at your house? I’m intrigued to meet these chickens you claim are gremlins in disguise” 

He laughed smiling brightly at the raven “Wonder who you’ll regret meeting the most, the chickens or my mom” he giggled “Does that mean you’ll take me home to your mom as well?”  he paused—last time he’d gone to Sasuke’s the situation had ended up being…

“I’m pretty sure Itachi probably ratted me out already and that’s why mom’s been so insistent I go home” He grumbled without any bite “Only way to survive my stay would be to bring you with,” he said with a small smile. 

And Naruto’s momentary panic slid off him—they were in a very different place now than where they had been the first time he met Sasuke’s family. This was Sasuke’s way of telling him he’d do right by him this time around. 

He knew he'd do whatever it took to stay by the raven's side. 

Because it made so much sense now. 

The raw almost physical attraction he’d felt for the alpha when he’d spotted him the first time. It had scared him so much that he’d purposely evaded him. Yet…he used to lay in bed wondering why .

Why did he care so much about Sasuke’s reputation, why did he still look for the pale skin and midnight locks across campus and party rooms, why did it ache every time he spotted the raven with someone else? 

After Sasuke started pursuing him he’d been torn between the need to belong to him, and the fear of being set aside. If only he’d known how seamlessly they fit together. 

He wasn’t sitting back anymore, he wasn’t hiding. Love was a constant fight, to improve oneself, to love continuously, to treat and nurture. Sasuke inspired him to be better, and he wanted to believe he did the same for the raven. 

The alpha slid his arm around his waist pulling him close and taking the longer route back to his apartment. And he knew he was doing it because he’d been complaining about being cooped up. 

Sasuke leaned over kissing the side of his head “What’s on your mind baby boy?”

“You,” he said honestly, and rolled his eyes shoving the raven as the smell of pleased alpha permeated the air “Gosh you’re so full of yourself, I take it back” 

Sasuke laughed, pulling him back “Don’t take it back princess” he leaned down kissing him softly “Would it help to know that you’re also always on my mind?” he murmured against his lips, unarming the blonde as he allowed his forehead to fall on the raven’s chest. 

“Is it awful that I kind of wish we didn’t have to go back to school?” he said softly. 

“You’re telling me? how I’m I supposed to think litigation after school starts up again when I have such a cute boyfriend waiting for me at home?” 

Home

A term the alpha kept using when referring to his apartment...for a second he imagined moving out of that apartment and into a house, a faded bite mark on his neck, his and Sasuke's bondmark. His and Sasuke's home. 

The blonde blushed, “I’m being serious!” he muttered, embarrassed, tabling that particular fantasy for a later time. 

Only to have Sasuke drag closer, his hand cupping his face “So am I” He muttered “If I remember correctly I gave you fair warning you can’ get rid of me now baby boy—It’s you and I” 

He leaned up landing his lips on the raven again “You know I think I’m pretty ok with that, you and I, come what may”
