You're Beautiful

Author's Note: This is a Yaoi Story. That means there will be at least one male x male romantic pairing (or in this case more than one). Naruto is an alien. I'm also slowly going back over this story and adding scene breaks. So if you mean chapters without them, that just means I haven't gotten to them yet. The plot will not be altered. If any of those things bother you, you might want to turn back now. Reviews are always appreciated.

Naruto's True Form Traits: The skin surrounding his eyes will be orange like in Sage Mode and eyes will be golden or blue depending on his emotional state. He will have retractable talons. His brown and white wings will have an eight foot wingspan. He also has golden scaled tail that reaches to his ankles. (Other minor traits may be added later on.)

Chapter 1

Sasuke Uchiha had never been more excited in his life. He was a biologist by trade, but NASA had called him in. Why? Because according to his brother, the organization sincerely believed they had discovered alien life!

"I really hope this isn't a hoax." Sasuke says as he walks through the halls with Itachi.

"If it's a hoax, it's a damn good one. The best I have ever seen. You aren't going to believe this." His elder brother says excitedly as they enter the top security room, which they could only get through by allowing their eyes to be scanned.

Sasuke's eyes widen as he sees otherworldly being that was currently being held in maximum security enclosure. He was stunning. The creature looked mostly humanoid in appearance.

He had golden blonde hair and gorgeous sapphire blue eyes. He had Sun kissed skin, which appeared to be naturally tanned. Sasuke estimated he was probably around 6'2 and the alien had a muscular build. He was powerful, without being too bulky. That's where the human traits ended.

"Isn't he magnificent?" Itachi asks in awe.

"Y-Yeah." Sasuke agrees and couldn't hide his stutter because they had just made the discovery that was going to change everything.

Despite his largely human experience, there was no mistaking this being for a human when you looked at him. The alien had beautiful wings with a color scheme similar to that of a bald eagle. Sasuke estimated he had a seven to eight foot wingspan. In addition, the skin around his eyes was orange. Whether that was natural or some type of "war paint" he didn't know. Sasuke also noted he had a golden scaled tail that reached to his ankles. Finally, the alien had some rather wicked looking talons on his hands and feet.

"We called you here because of your expertise when it comes to animal behavior, especially birds." Itachi says.

"Well that makes sense. He clearly does have some birdlike traits." Sasuke muses and follows Itachi to the enclosure.

The being's eyes followed their every movement. Sasuke gulps when he realizes that the glass apparently wasn't designed to keep the alien from seeing them. Maybe that was to build trust?

"We know one thing, he's definitely not blind." Sasuke whispers and Itachi nods.

Naruto watches curiously as "Itachi" approaches him. He figured that was the name of the human because other humans would say it around him a lot. The Jinchuuriki liked Itachi. Well as much as you could like anyone when you didn't understand a word they were saying, anyway. The man did have kind eyes at least.

That's when Naruto saw that Itachi wasn't alone. He had brought another human with him. That's when Naruto swore for a second his hearts stopped beating.

Yes, Naruto had two hearts. All Jinchuuriki wasn't what was important though.

The blonde had traveled through hundreds of galaxies throughout his life, but he had never seen a more beautiful creature. The other human by Itachi was simply glorious to behold.

"Naruto." He says and places his hand against the glass, trying to communicate with them.

Maybe they'd understand it was his name. He didn't know. The Jinchuuriki just knew that he had to try to speak with the younger human. His species was different than humans in one key area. Unlike most humans, they recognized their Mate instinctively. Naruto knew he had just found his.

Sasuke covers his mouth in shock. The alien had just TALKED. Well that or at least had vocalized something. Whether it was supposed to be a sign of aggression, contentment, an actual word, or some combination, he didn't know, but the alien could make sounds at the very least!

"I've never seen him do that before. Sasuke, try putting your hand against the glass. Don't worry. It won't break. If he could get out, he would have done so by now." Itachi assures him.

"Right." Sasuke says and cautiously did as Itachi asked.

Naruto smiles. The glass separated them, but his Mate was trying to touch him. It was a start. Now he just needed to get him inside with him. If he could only kiss him, then he'd be able to copy his Mate's language. Things would be so much easier after that.

He knew this would be difficult. His Mate's heart was racing. He was excited, but his scent had an edge of fear to it.

That didn't make the blonde happy. But from what he had observed so far, humans were a vocal species. If Naruto could speak their language, he could put the other man's mind at ease.

"He seems…happy?" Sasuke half observes and half inquires.

"Wait here. I'm going to have Jirayia come and have a look." Itachi says and scurries off to find the head of NASA.

"Alright." Sasuke nods in agreement.

Naruto smiles. He had his attention. The blonde took the opportunity to admire the human. The blue eyed alien was almost positive his Mate was named Sasuke. So he admired "Sasuke."

His eyes were darker than a starless sky. Those were what drew Naruto to him most, he supposed. They were so mysterious and expressive at the same time. His skin was luminous like the "Moon," as humans called it. His facial features were very elegant. His hair was pitch black and two long bangs framed the sides of his face. Naruto noted it was spiked in the back. That meant Sasuke was a warrior, like him.

"Naruto." He says again, hoping that Sasuke would understand that was his name.

His eyes drifted south. His mate had a lithe muscular form. It reminded Naruto of one of the animals he had seen on this planet. He thought humans called it a leopard. Sasuke was fairly tall for a human, probably around 6 feet. He had broad shoulders and a very nicely sculpted backside, that Naruto found himself rather eager to grab. Perfect.

"Coming! Coming!" Jiraiya says as he races back to Sasuke with Itachi.

"Jiraiya, I think that the alien may actually have a language. He keeps saying Naruto again and again. At first I wasn't sure if it was a sign of aggression, him vocalizing contentment, a word, or something else. But now, I think it might be his name." Sasuke says excitedly.

Jirayia blinks. They had discovered an alien and it was possible he might be able to communicate?! This was the greatest fantasy of every scientist at NASA! This could change everything.

Humans were apparently no longer alone in the universe. There was at least one other "intelligent" species. (Though Jirayia realized calling humans intelligent life was stretching it in some cases, he digressed.) The elderly scientist wondered if perhaps he would awaken to discover this was all just a dream.

"Hmm I see. Try saying Naruto. See if he responds." Jiraiya suggests and Sasuke nods.

"Naruto?" Sasuke says and notes the name felt rather exotic on his tongue.

Naruto looks up. He beams at his Mate. Yes! He had figured it out. Sasuke was not only stunning, but he was intelligent too!

He places his hand over Sasuke's again. He resented the glass for separating them, but it was the closest he could come to touching the other male at the moment. It would have to do.

"I really I think that he likes Sasuke. Probably thinks that Sasuke is a woman." Itachi laughs softly as he receives a dirty look for that comment.

"I'm just teasing you. You know that you take after mother and I take after father when it comes to looks." The elder Uchiha says.

Naruto watches Itachi and Sasuke closely. He wasn't sure if the other male was challenging Sasuke or not. After a few moments, he decides it seemed to be more play fighting than anything else.

"Sasuke?" Once he decides his Mate was safe, he calls out to him and gestures for the human to join him in the enclosure.

Sasuke blinks. The alien had figured out his name. This was definitely an intelligent life form. An intelligent life form that apparently wanted him to come closer. The younger Uchiha was torn between a childlike wonder at this development and concern for his safety.

"It's your decision. I have guards on the floor above with tranquilizers that we know are capable of subduing him if he attacks you. I will not hold it against you, if you don't want to go inside with him." Jiraiya counsels Sasuke.

"Well no great scientific discovery was ever made without some risk. Alright. I'll do it. And for the love of God, make sure they are ready to fire in the worst case scenario. I mean he seems friendly now, but we have no idea how quickly that can change." Sasuke mutters as he cautiously enters the enclosure.

Sasuke's heart was pounding. He could see those talons. The biologist didn't doubt for one second those could shred him to ribbons. The young man tries to will his heart rate to slow. He wondered if the other being could scent fear or at least sense it like an animal.

Naruto smiles and slowly walks over to Sasuke. He knew that the other male was frightened. He had good reason to be. Sasuke just didn't understand yet. That was okay though. He knew how to fix it.

"He's smiling." Jiraiya whispers to Itachi as they observe the pair.

"We think it's a smile. That might be his species way of warning another to leave them alone." Itachi replies nervously.

He slowly reaches out his hand to caress Sasuke's cheek. Sasukse looks at him in surprise. Naruto took this as a good sign. He wasn't pulling away. So the blonde pulled him into his arms and wraps his wings around him protectively.

"Naruto?" Sasuke asks uncertainly.

"Sasuke." He replies and leans down slightly to press his lips against those of his Mate's.

Soft and warm. He tasted like Ramensa. Ramensa was a delicious wine that was made on his home planet. He pulls Sasuke closer, eager to explore his Mate more and to learn his language.

Sasuke's eyes widen in shock. The alien was KISSING him?! He didn't know what to do!

There was a possibility that he was transferring some sort of disease to him or something. Though the way that Naruto was holding him seemed too affectionate for it to be an attack.

No, this was definitely a kiss! That's when Sasuke noticed a slight tingling sensation and the blue lights that were surrounding them. He inwardly panics!

"You're beautiful." Naruto says, once he breaks the kiss.

"Did he just speak English?!" Itachi asks Jiraiya, not believing his ears!

"I think he did." Jirayia confirms and his eyes widen in complete shock at this development.

Sasuke was stunned. Naruto had just spoken perfect English. Sure, his "accent" was strong. There was an almost purring quality to it, but every word was understandable. Naruto could talk and he had just called Sauske beautiful. He didn't know which of those things shocked him more.

"That's the easiest way for my species to acquire another language, mouth to mouth contact. We also kiss as your kind do, to give pleasure. That's what the sensation and lights were. They were just me absorbing your words." Naruto says.

"So…you could learn a language instantly, as long as you kiss someone?" Sasuke asks in awe.

"Yeah. I guess you could say that. But I only know the words you know. I'm not worried though. You seem really smart. So I'm probably fluent enough for most native speakers to understand me." He observes happily.

Sasuke blinks as he tries to process the fact that he was talking to an alien. If it wasn't for the wing, the orange coloration around his eyes, talons, and tail, he could probably easily convince himself he was talking to a college student. His manner of speaking was rather casual.

"Thank you. That's kind of you to say?" He asks uncertainly.

"Believe me, this is weird for me too. Your kind is really confusing, but at least this way we can understand each other." Naruto continues.

Sasuke nods. It made him wonder why Naruto hadn't tried to get someone into the enclosure sooner. If all it took was a simple kiss, things would have gone so much smoother if he had done that earlier.

"If you knew that you could "acquire" our language that easily, why didn't you try to do it before?" He asks.

"Well I figured it was polite to let them run their tests. They wanted to make sure I wasn't carrying pathogens or diseases. So I just kinda went with it. That and my kind prefer to kiss others that they find attractive, just like yours does." Naruto explains.

Sasuke blinks. He realizes with horror, that he could have been killed just by touching Naruto, if the alien had been carrying harmful pathogens! The pathogens might have been harmless to him, but fatal to humans!

He blinks again when he realizes they had found a "considerate" alien. Naruto didn't mind them running tests on him, to make them feel safer. Finally, he was a little floored that apparently Naruto was just waiting for an attractive scientist to walk by.

"Right. Well I'm sure that everyone appreciates that you were willing to let them run the tests on you and I'm really happy to hear that I'm not going to die of exposure to some unknown disease. About that last part though, you realize I'm male right? You're male as well?" Sasuke inquires.

He definitely LOOKED male. But then again, the alien was wearing clothes. So he couldn't really check. There was also the fact that it was possible that Naruto's species didn't even have two separate genders. Maybe they just reproduced asexually?

Sasuke dismissed that possibility. He had clearly indicated that they also kissed for pleasure and they viewed others as attractive. That didn't sound like an asexual species.

"Oh I know you're male. I definitely know that!" Naruto says and glances at Sasuke up and down in a rather suggestive manner.

"And so are you?" Sasuke asks again and tries not to blush at the fact that an alien was not so subtlety checking him out.

Naruto nods. Humans were a bit different than Jinchuuriki. While he was absorbing Sasuke's language, he had acquired many different descriptions for sexual orientations. Straight, heterosexual, homosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, and the list went on and on. Really, the blonde was wondering how humans ever got around to mating because it all seemed really confusing!

"So you're gay? I mean you prefer males sexually?" Sasuke asks in what he hoped was a tactful way.

"My people don't really have sexual orientations. You're attracted to what you are attracted to. Gender doesn't really matter to us in that respect. Yes, we have males and females. But it's not strange for males to prefer males, females to prefer females, or to like both. I just happen to prefer males." He says.

Sasuke blinks. Yeah, not only had he found an alien. He had found a gay alien. (Even if Naruto and his kind apparently didn't believe in such classifications.) What were the odds?

"Good to know." Sasuke says.

"Humans make sexuality really complicated. Are you gay?" Naruto asks hopefully.

Sasuke couldn't believe that an alien was asking him about his sexual orientation. Well he supposed it was only fair. He had asked Naruto.

"Yes." He answers simply, deciding not to make a big issue out of it.

Naruto seemed to have a rather liberal view of the subject. As far as Sasuke could tell, the blonde firmly believed in an anything goes philosophy. He was pleased though that Naruto was so willing to answer his questions.

"You said your people. That implies that there are more of you. Are there?" Sasuke inquires.

"I'd rather not say. You are friendly, but your species doesn't always get along with itself yet. If I say that I'm the only one, then I make myself vulnerable. If I say there are more of me and you find them, well some humans might not be too…welcoming." The alien answers.

Sasuke couldn't really argue with this logic. They had people who hated others for their skin color, economic status, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and even silly things like fashion sense. It was hard to see all of humanity welcoming whatever Naruto was.

"Alright. That's fair enough. Why are you here? The odds of you just happening to land on this planet, seem rather…slim." Sasuke asks.

"I've been watching your planet for awhile. I was curious. Humans are just beginning to learn how to travel through space. That means you are interesting. Granted your forms of space travel are rather crude and primitive, but you are learning really fast. Figured it was better to peek in now, than in a couple hundred years when you discovered you weren't alone." He answers honestly.

Sasuke considers this. Naruto seemed to believe that it was only a matter of time before humans would have discovered him. That was flattering in a way. But the way he was speaking, suggested that Naruto viewed his methods of traveling through space as far more advanced. Whether this was arrogance or a statement of fact, Sasuke didn't know yet.

"Don't worry. I have no intention of attacking this planet. That wouldn't be a very good start." The blue eyed alien assures him.

"A good start for what?" Sasuke asks, but before he could get an answer, Jiraiya walked in with Itachi.

It looked like they had decided Naruto was "friendly" and wanted to get a closer look. Sasuke couldn't blame them. The winged alien was the discovery that was going to change well everything.

"Hello. I am Jirayia. This is Itachi. You appear to speak and understand English now?" The white haired man asks.

"Yeah. I'm Naruto." The blue eyed man replies.

Itachi couldn't help but stare in awe. Somehow just by kissing Sasuke, the alien could now understand their language instantly. He wondered if this was a genetic adaptation or if he had sort of technology that made this possible.

"I'm sure you have lots of questions, as we do for you." Itachi begins.

Naruto nods in agreement. Itachi noticed that he had his wings wrapped around Sasuke like some sort of guardian angel or something. This just further confirmed his suspicions that Naruto was rather fond of Sasuke. He had also called him beautiful, so there was that to consider.

"Will I be allowed out of this enclosure?" Naruto asks.

"That might be possible. You don't strike me as hostile. That was mostly as a precaution. We couldn't communicate with you easily before. We didn't know if you were aggressive or not." Jirayia tries to explain.

"I understand. I'd just like a larger territory and to be able to stretch my wings more." The alien admits.

Sasuke notes the word territory. He acted so human. But there were clearly some animal instincts going on as well.

"How large a territory is normal for someone like you?" Sasuke asks.

"Males tend to have larger territories than females. It varies a bit. I'd prefer at least ten miles though." Naruto answers.

Itachi processes this. That meant that Naruto's species was rather free ranging. He didn't doubt for a minute that the blonde would be able to defend such a large area. Those talons looked lethal.

"Do you know why you look similar to humans?" Jirayia inquires.

"Most dominant life forms tend to end up walking on two legs and have eyes towards the front to grasp things better. The rest, I'm not sure really. Maybe a common ancestor is involved or something." Naruto muses and wraps his wings around Sasuke more, but keeps his head visible.

He figured that would make the humans feel less anxious, if they could see him. The blonde just didn't want to get his Mate to get cold and relished the contact. Sasuke didn't seem to mind.

"Sasuke, what do his wings feel like?" Jiraiya asks in awe.

"Warm and like velvet." Sasuke answers him and resists the urge to snuggle into the alien.

Naruto smiles. He could tell that Sasuke was comfortable wrapped in his wings. That made him very happy. The other two humans seemed nice, but he wished they would just leave him and his Mate alone. How was he supposed to court him with an audience?

"Well that's good. Are you comfortable here, Naruto?" Jiraiya inquires.

"I'd like it better if I had what humans call a bed. Mostly I just want blankets or furs. I'm hungry as well, but not starving. I prefer what humans call meat. Though I can eat vegetation." Naruto replies.

"Oh of course. We'll get on that right away. Sasuke, why don't you go make notations about what you learned so far and call it a day? You've been enormously helpful. You took a great risk today in the name of science and it paid off." The elderly human continues.

Naruto frowns. According to his newly acquired language skills, call it a day implied Sasuke was leaving. He didn't like that. Where was he going? Was he coming back?

"Sounds good to me." Sasuke says as he tries to wiggle out of Naruto's wings.

"You're leaving?" Naruto asks.

"Well after I file my report, yes." Sasuke answers him.

"I don't want you to go. I want you to stay here with me. I'm sure they will get me a better territory soon." The blue eyed alien says.

Itachi watches the scene unfold with some uneasy. He wondered if Naruto would get violent, if Sasuke did try to leave. They could always dart him, but that would probably make the alien much less cooperative afterwards. Still he couldn't allow his brother to be held hostage.

"Naruto, it's not about the territory. I just have a territory of my own I need to defend. I'll be back tomorrow. Alright? You acquired our language, you understand how time passes here?" Sasuke asks.

"Oh. Right. It is important to defend your territory. Yes, I understand how to tell time, the human way. You promise that you'll be back?" The winged being asks Sasuke and seems to be searching him for signs of deception.

"I promise I'll be back. Why wouldn't I be? You're amazing." Sasuke tells him.

Sasuke meant amazing in the sense that Naruto was going to change everything that they knew about the universe. He didn't mean it in the romantic sense at the moment, but that was how Naruto took it.

"And you're beautiful." Naruto says with a big smile and kisses his Mate again.

Sasuke's eyes widen. He had already acquired the language, hadn't he? Maybe he needed regular kisses, to maintain it or reinforce it? He felt Naruto deepening the kiss and Sasuke instinctively returns it at this point.

It felt too good not to. Naruto's lips were warm and rough. There was a slight edge to his kisses from the chapped texture of his lips that felt strangely good. He tasted so wild. That was the only way that Sasuke knew how to describe it.

"Should we stop them?" Itachi stares at the scene unfolding before him in concern.

"I don't think so. Clearly, Naruto isn't attacking him." Jiraiya whispers to the anxious man.

Sasuke moans into the kiss. He'd never been kissed like this before. It was like the alien was trying to devour him with his passion. His tongue was boldly plunder his mouth and it was all that he could do to keep up. He felt Naruto grab his ass and pull him closer, wrapping his wings around him again.

The young biologist drew the line when Naruto decided to try to strip him. He gently places his hand on Naruto's lightly. He figured that the blonde would understand what he was trying to say. It worked because the blue eyed being broke the kiss.

"You're Mating Shy?" He observes.

"I'm not really sure what that means. But if Mating is your way of saying sex, then a little. I am not going to do that with my brother and boss watching!" Sasuke says.

"Ohhh. Right. I forgot they were there. I'm sorry. I guess I got carried away." Naruto replies.

"It's okay. Um I'm going to go now. I'll see you tomorrow." Sasuke informs him and Naruto lowers his wings.

Sasuke darts out of the enclosure and tries to catch his breath. He'd never been kissed breathless before. Did all aliens kiss that well? He bit his lower lip. Making out with the subject, probably wasn't the most professional thing he'd ever done. Shit! He might get fired now!

Jiraiya follows Sasuke. Apparently, Itachi was going to stay behind to question the blonde further. The youngest Uchiha braces himself as Jiraiya leads him out of earshot of Naruto and Itachi.

"I'm sorry. I know that was completely unprofessional. He just grabbed me an-" Sasuke tries to explain, but he was soon shushed.

"It's alright. You aren't in trouble. He clearly initiated it. Besides, it might have been dangerous to refuse. He likes you. We'll learn more about him, if he's talking to someone he likes. I'm going to put you in charge of his case." The older scientist informs him.

"Really?" Sasuke blinks.

"Yes, you are relatively new to the field. But you have something that no one else does yet. You have his trust. That makes you very valuable to this project." He continues.

"I won't let you down. Are we going to tell the public about him?" Sasuke asks.

"We might eventually. This could cause a panic. We have to be absolutely sure, that he is ready to deal with that kind of reaction." Came the response.

"You're right. We have to be careful. I'll go file my report. Goodnight, Jiraiya." Sasuke says as he walks off.

Naruto listens to Itachi talk. He answers the questions that he thought were safe. But mostly, he was just hoping to catch another glimpse of Sasuke before he left. He frowns, when he didn't.

It was okay though. Sasuke had said he was coming back. He had called him amazing. That was a compliment in his language. He'd see his Mate again and maybe this time, Jiraiya and Itachi wouldn't be around. Perhaps, Sasuke would be less Mating Shy, when they were alone?
