Sasuke crouches in the garden, contently pulling weeds. School has been canceled for the week. Naruto still hasn't woken from their activities from yesterday evening which is not unusual for the boy whom can sleep well into the early afternoon if he remains unbothered. Seeing no harm in letting him sleep, Sasuke left him to doze while he went off to do something, feeling oddly energized.

He hears the sliding door open and he turns his head to see Naruto enter the garden. A pessimistic expression upon his face.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" he queries.

Naruto looks up almost guiltily and approaches him. He wrings his hands nervously and diverts his gaze from the other boy.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" Sasuke repeats.

Naruto looks up into Sasuke's eyes. "Sasuke, I apologize that I keep making you repeat yourself, but please. Tell me, why do you love me? Why?"

Sasuke gazes at Naruto for a moment with furrowed brows. "This isn't about why I love you, is it? It's about the fact that I love you."

Naruto shifts a tan hand through his thick, blonde locks. He opens his mouth, closes it, then opens it again. "I just…don't understand."

Sasuke smiles and takes a step closer to Naruto; he pulls his gardening gloves off and tosses them to the ground. Then he gently places his hands on Naruto's upper arms. "I don't understand it either. I just know that I want to be with you always, that you make me happy and that I want to make you happy. That I think you're beautiful and that I think the things you do are the strangest, most interesting things I have ever seen. Maybe that's not love, who knows what that is. I just want to be with you, Naruto."

He smiles softly, his dark eyes reflecting the gentleness. Naruto still appears puzzled.

"How do you feel about me?"

"Just about the same as you feel as feel about me." Naruto replies with a small smile. "I…don't know if it is love either. I suppose have not an idea what love is."

Sasuke's smile grows and he trails his hands down Naruto's arms. "We'll just have to find out together."

Sasuke lifts a hand up to rake his fingers through Naruto's blonde locks. He shifts his gaze to the garden.

"I have an idea."

Sasuke and Naruto plop down unto their bottoms, their hands and limbs dusted with dirt.

In the spot that had previously been barren in the garden, flowers are now planted. Bridal Roses, white and magenta Myrtle, and Red Tulips.

"Let's go get some of this dirt off us." Sasuke says as he stands and heads in the direction the sliding door.

"I like being dirty."

"Just come on."

Naruto rolls his eyes and gets up to enter the house behind Sasuke. With a wet rag they wipe some of the dirt from their limbs and wash their hands thoroughly. Then they head back to the garden to enjoy the beauty of the garden and the warmth of the noon sun.

"Do you know what they mean? The flowers we just planted." Sasuke says.

Naruto smiles. "The Bridal Roses, I know they mean happy love."

Sasuke nods. "The Red Tulips mean declaration of love and the Myrtle mean heartfelt love."

There is a peaceful silence between them. Naruto turns his head to gaze at Sasuke and Sasuke flickers his gaze to Naruto.

Naruto feels a thrill run up his spine. He attempts to stifle it by holding his breath, then he remembers that is the wrong thing to do. Sasuke has taught him that it is okay to feel these new emotions. Though acknowledging such only makes his heart beat faster and the electricity swimming through his veins increase.

"Naruto?"

Said male's eyelashes flutter as he inhales a deep breath. He moves to stand in front of Sasuke and places a hand on the space between his neck and his shoulder. He moves close to Sasuke and presses his lips against the other boy's. He urges him to participate by wrapping both his arms around Sasuke's neck. Sasuke presses back, his pale pink lips hot against Naruto more rosy and plump ones. This kiss grows from slow and smoldering to fervent and passionate.

They claw and grip at each others' clothes, wishing to feel the skin beneath. They part for air then Sasuke grips Naruto's face in his hands and pulls him forward for another soul-tugging kiss. They both feel the strong sensation that they are overflowing. Sasuke wraps his arms around Naruto's waist and buries his face in the crook of Naruto's neck. Naruto's eyes dart about as he thinks about what he should do.

He knows what Sasuke wants to do. He can sense it, the other boy's emotions pound against him like waves from restless waters. Does he want to do that too? He closes his eyes and attempts to get a sense of his own feelings. The strong urge is there. Is he ready? He has been on this planet for centuries, he should be. But is he? He exhales and focuses on Sasuke's gentle embrace. A happy smile that reaches his eyes appears.

"Sasuke."

Sasuke lifts his head up and gazes inquiringly into Naruto's eyes. Upon seeing Naruto's expression his eyebrows raise then furrow. He appears as if he wishes to say something. Instead he gently grips Naruto's hands and begins to lead him inside. Though, Naruto does not budge from his spot. Sasuke releases Naruto's hand and turns back to give Naruto a confused look.

Naruto shakes his head and heads in the direction of the woods. Sasuke follows close behind. The tree tops cast a shadow over them, only small glimpses of the blue sky visible here and there. A bit of distance within the woods they come upon a small clearing shielded by tall trees and thick bushes. The grass is zebra-striped with bits of sunshine breaking through the tree tops. The grass in the clearing is lush and tall.

Naruto turns and smiles at Sasuke. Sasuke takes a few steps forward and Naruto outstretches his arms to wrap them around Sasuke's neck as their lips collide for another kiss. Their warm tongues entwining languidly. Naruto's hands stroke the back of Sasuke's neck as Sasuke feels along the curve of Naruto's hips and the arch of his back.

Naruto pulls away from the kiss and smiles as he gazes into Sasuke's eyes, his own jewel eyes shimmering. He begins to back up, tugging Sasuke along with him. Slowly he inches down onto the ground, pulling Sasuke to sit between his legs.

Naruto hands travel to the hem of his shirt, which he pulls over his head. Then he lifts his hips and slides his shorts and underwear away from his body. Throwing the items of clothing to the side. He then takes Sasuke's hands and places them on his hips. Sasuke watches, dazed.

He realizes what Naruto is instructing him to do. He pulls his shirt over his head then gently guides Naruto down further onto the grass. He presses his body against Naruto's, skin against skin and begins to nip and suck at the soft flesh of his neck. His hands roam about the blonde's body, rubbing and feeling. Naruto at first lies sprawled out. Soon his hands twitch against the smooth flesh of Sasuke's back and shoulders. Occasionally cupping the back of the other boy's head. Only a small ring of blue can be seen as his pupils that were already very large, grow in size.

The overflowing sensation becomes unbearable to the point where he feels he might burst. Unmentionable emotions escaping through every pore.

"Sasuke." He says on the brink of whining. He flushes at the sound of his voice.

Sasuke lifts his head away from the crook of Naruto neck and stops in his ministrations of rubbing the blonde's thighs to gaze inquiringly into said boy's eyes. Noticing the need and want clearly evident within Naruto's expression he sits up and unbuttons his jeans. A few seconds later he too is nude in the clearing.

He looms over Naruto and gazes into the once blue gems that are now darker than his own nebulous orbs, his hands on bare tan hips.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Very much so." Naruto replies.

Sasuke leans forward and plants a kiss on the top of Naruto's head then makes his way down Naruto's body. His fingers leave tingling trails as they trace Naruto's outline. Sasuke exhales a hot breath against Naruto's stomach and plants wet kisses on the soft, flat surface. He gently grips Naruto's thighs and parts them.

Naruto props up onto his elbows and watches as Sasuke sticks three fingers into his mouth. He feels his lungs shudder at the sight and soon Sasuke pulls the fingers out, heavily coated in saliva.

"It's going to hurt at first..." he warns, warily pressing his middle finger against Naruto's entrance.

Naruto nods and urges Sasuke with his eyes to go ahead. Sasuke pushes the digit inside of Naruto. Naruto furrows his brows at the intrusion and burning sensation.

Sasuke scoots up a bit and rubs the finger against Naruto's inner walls a few times before inserting another finger. Naruto's body becomes rigid.

"Try to relax."

Naruto does try and succeeds a bit. Though the painful burning does not recede. Sasuke begins to thrust the two fingers within Naruto. Naruto collapses onto his back; the strange feelings making his limbs go weak.

Sasuke inserts the third finger and curls the fingers as he thrusts them. Naruto releases a groan and arches away from the ground. Bright lights attack his vision. His startled heart rattles at a fast pace as his chest heaves, his lungs clawing for air.

"Sas…mm…" He cannot even form words as Sasuke continues the thrusting.

Suddenly he feels very empty as the fingers retreat from his body. Sasuke licks his hand and wipes the saliva on his member. He then snakes his way up Naruto, facing the other boy. He kisses him chastely on the lips then presses the tip of his member against Naruto's entrance.

"Relax." Is all he says before he moves his hips forward, his chest sliding against Naruto's as he slowly enters the blonde.

Naruto cries out, his arms whip up to claw at Sasuke's back as he is stretched. Three fingers were nothing like this. His lips pull into a hard line as he withholds groans of pain. The ripping, burning sensation overwhelming him.

"Breathe, relax." Sasuke whispers as he places light kisses upon Naruto's face. He keeps his hips still, waiting for Naruto to adjust.

The pain does not go away, yet Naruto reminds himself that it will eventually get better. He orders Sasuke to move.

Sasuke begins to thrust. Naruto holds on tight to the other boy's shoulders and wraps his legs around Sasuke's waist. Slowly the pain ebbs away, mixing with an odd sensation that makes him ache in a way that feels strangely good. With each thrust the ache becomes stronger.

Something is struck within Naruto, his eyes grow wide and he releases a surprised gasp. The same spot is assaulted over and over again. All Naruto can do is writhe, groan, and hold on tight to Sasuke.

He feels a release, as if the overflowing emotions and the ache have finally burst through a dam. He lies lax on the grass, his limbs falling away from Sasuke. Soon Sasuke also finds release. He collapses onto Naruto, his face buried in the crook of the blonde's neck. He plants kisses from underneath Naruto's ear down to his shoulder.

Once he has some feeling back in his body, Sasuke pulls out of Naruto and props himself up on his elbows as he lies over Naruto.

He smiles, his eyes expressing warmth and contentment. He leans forward and kisses Naruto slowly. He pulls away and presses his forehead against Naruto's.

"Naruto." He says affectionately. His voice rough from their previous actions.

Naruto laughs softly, his eyes watering a bit as he pulls Sasuke's head down against his chest.

Tan hands cup dirt, forcing it to mold against the palms. Naruto smiles as he gingerly tends to the plants of his beloved garden. His face is less round than it used to be. His eyes more narrow. His body is longer, larger.

A shuffling occurs somewhere to the side of him and he turns his head to see Sasuke sitting on the back porch of their home, his long legs stretched over the steps. His dark eyes gaze in the blonde's direction, a soft smile displayed upon his face as he watches the other male.

Naruto stands and calmly approaches Sasuke. He steps up the steps over Sasuke's legs to straddle his lap. He wraps his arms around Sasuke's neck and buries his face in the crook of his lover's neck.

Sasuke places a hand on the small of Naruto's back and stares out to gaze at the woods in the distance. Shadows dance about the border of the woodland area, their forms swaying against trunks of trees.

Sasuke's eyelids droop and he bends his head down to kiss the back of Naruto's head.

"What do you say, Naruto? Is love still a fairytale?"

Naruto laughs a warm, mirthful laugh.

"In a way, Sasuke, yes it is."
