Chapter 16: Together

Okay! Last chapter…I'm sad, but this has been going on for a while. I want to make a sequel, but I'm going to plan out everything before I start writing this time. Maybe I'll be able to finish it in less than two years. Anyways! Enjoy the last chapter of Chie-Ai Academy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Sadly.

Warning: Rated M for a reason. Reasons will happen this chapter. ^_^

"I know not what the future holds, but I know who holds the future."

~Author Unknown

It was quiet inside the meeting room. Nobody knew what to say or how to say what they were thinking. Naruto had just suddenly appeared again about two months ago, and Itachi and Kuruma had just suddenly called a dorm meeting, and nobody really knew why, that is until Naruto and Sasuke walked in holding hands. It wasn't the hand holding that was surprising, but who it was that were standing in that room holding hands. Naruto was back. Itachi was back. But the most important question was what had happened, and nobody would chance asking that.

So Naruto and Sasuke broke their hands apart and sat in their respected seats. And all was still.

"What happened?" All heads snapped to the voice and saw Gaara and Lee holding hands and walking in. Now that was surprising. Again, not the hand holding, but who was holding hands. Absolutely none had seen that coming, but they had to admit that they seemed happy. They separated and sat in their respected places. "I'm serious. What happened?" Gaara said, looking at Itachi.

"Well," Itachi started, "do you want the whole story?" It seemed like everybody wanted the full story by the collective fidgeting. "Okay, well, the night Naruto was taken, I woke up to gun shots. Two. I was tired, but I recognized the sound. You see, Sasuke shot our uncle on the night of the massacre. I walked in right when that happened. I know what gunshots sound like. So I ran as fast as I could to where the sound came from. When I got there, there was nobody out there, but there was a body on the ground. When I could see better, I saw that it was Sasuke, and he was shot. He was mumbling Naruto's name and I asked him where Naruto was. He said taken, and he passed out. My first priority was Sasuke, but I was still worried about Naruto. Sasuke was rushed to the hospital and in surgery before I knew it. I sat by his bedside for days before he woke up, and when I did, he couldn't even look me in the eyes. I knew, deep down, that I had to find Naruto for Sasuke to ever be happy again. He wouldn't talk to me, wouldn't look at me, and he just pretended that he was all alone, which I knew is how he felt. So I asked and asked and asked and finally got him to say who took Naruto. Then I left. I went and found the police in New York City and they searched for the man named John Lucas. They found him just in time too. As for what else happened, you would need to ask Naruto."

It was as if everybody turned their heads to Naruto and looked at him. Naruto sighed. He knew it would be best, but there were some things that he just couldn't say. Everybody knew, but nobody knew exactly. It killed him, but he thought it would be best that nobody really know. Nobody except the love of his life. So instead of speaking, Naruto just closed his eyes and looked down at his lap, sighing softly to himself.

Everybody took the hint and looked away, but Sasuke continued to look at the blond for a moment longer. He really did love the blond, no matter what would ever happen to him. Sasuke understood what pain was more than anybody else, and he found solace in Naruto as Naruto found in him. He knew that they would last a lifetime.

Itachi stood. "Okay. Well, if nobody has any questions, you're dismissed." Itachi moved his hand toward Kuruma and helped him up. Soon, other people began to file out of the meeting room. Sasuke moved over to Naruto and took his hand, both smiling softly to each other. Gaara stood, walked toward Sasuke and Naruto, Lee's hand magically finding Gaara's own. Kiba and Ino got up and stood together.

"When did this happen?" Sasuke said, looking at Gaara and Lee. "No judgment of course."

Gaara smiled and squeezed Lee's hand a bit. "It just kind of happened." Gaara laughed a bit. "Plus, you wouldn't believe the energy this one has in the-"

"Don't care Gaara!" Kiba yelled, covering his ears.

"-bedroom" Gaara whispered. Kiba flinched and Ino laughed a bit. Naruto smiled. This was how life was supposed to be. This joy and happiness. Now, he knew he could have that kind of playful fun and actually enjoy the moments he had with his friends and his raven. It was silent for a moment.

"Naruto-"

"It's fine, Ino." Naruto interrupted. "I want to tell you, but I want you to understand that there are some things that only a few people should know. Understand that I love you all, and that doesn't change the way I feel about you. You are all my most valuable and special friends and nothing can change that, but the only people that should know what happened are the ones that did it, the ones that stopped it, and Sasuke."

"I know baby." Ino said, smiling softly at Naruto. "I just want you to know that I love you too. And I'm beyond happy that your back. It's your decision who you tell, nobody else's, and nobody can change that. The most important thing is that you tell somebody, and I think Sasuke is that person for you." Ino stepped forward and pulled Naruto into a hug. "Love you, baby."

Naruto put his arms around Ino and hugged back. "Love you too, cutie."

Kiba stepped forward and hugged both of his best friends tightly. "I love you too blondies! Don't leave me out!"

Both Ino and Naruto laughed. "Love you too dog-breath." They said simultaneously. They looked at each other and laughed.

They all separated. "Well, We'll see you later." Naruto said, taking Sasuke's hand.

"Don't plan on it" Gaara whispered, pulling Lee away.

"Really Naruto, don't plan on it." Kiba said, Ino dragging Kiba off quickly.

Sasuke and Naruto stood there for a moment. "When did that happen?" Naruto asked, pointing toward Kiba and Ino.

Sasuke was quiet for a moment. "No idea."

Naruto looked at Sasuke and laughed a bit, Sasuke joining in softly.

"And that's when the cops rushed in." Naruto finished. He looked up and saw tears rushing down Sasuke's face. "Teme, what's wrong?" Naruto said, moving across the bed and wrapping his arms around the raven.

"You were being—you were going through so much and all I could do was sit here. I failed you and I know I did. I love you so much and I couldn't protect you." Sasuke said, tears rushing down his face. His pale skin began to get a little blotchy and red, his eyes becoming extremely bloodshot.

"Sasuke" Naruto started. "You did protect me. You fought for me and that is enough for me. I know you love me and I love you just as much." Naruto pulled Sasuke's head into the crook of his neck. Sasuke was crying, and Naruto could feel his shirt becoming damp. Naruto smiled. Sasuke felt so much pain, but all Sasuke could think about was Naruto. He kept fighting even after that man had shot him. That alone would have been enough for Naruto, but here he was, holding a crying raven.

Naruto thought back to when he wrote his song and the folder of lyrics Sasuke had given him. He remembered the song that inspired him. He began to hum a bit of what he imagined the intro to be. The he opened his mouth and sang, not really caring what his voice sounded like.

Stay with me.

Naruto began, rubbing Sasuke's back as he did.

Baby, stay with me.

Tonight don't leave me alone.

(me alone) Sasuke mumbled through his tears.

Walk with me.

Come and walk with me.

To the edge of all we've ever know.

(we've ever know) he mumbled again

Suddenly, the lyrics made sense in Naruto's brain, and Sasuke's shaking had started to slow.

I can see you there in the city lights,

Fourteenth floor, pale blue eyes

I can breathe you in

Sasuke had written this song about Naruto.

Two shadows standin' by the bedroom door

And no I could not want you more

Than I did right then

As our heads lean in.

Well I'm not sure what this is gonna be

But when my eyes closed all I see

Is the sky line

Through the window

The moon above you and the streets below

Sasuke looked up at Naruto, his tears beginning to dry.

And I hold my breath as you're movin in

Taste your lips and feel your skin

And when the time comes

Baby don't run,

Just kiss me slowly.

And that's just what Sasuke did. It was soft and sweet, and nothing intended from it except to express his love for the blond. Naruto willingly kissed back, letting the raven pull him into his arms. They kissed for a moment more before they broke, both sighing in satisfaction.

Naruto was laying in Sasuke's arms. It was quiet. Calm.

"You know. I wrote that song as a duet. You sang what I was supposed to…"

"So when do I sing?" Naruto laughed.

"Now…" Sasuke smiled, squeezing Naruto a bit.

Naruto smiled softly to himself. He began to hum again and then opened his mouth and sang softly.

Stay with me,

Baby stay with me,

Tonight don't leave me alone

(me alone) Sasuke sang.

He shows me everything he used to know

Picture frames and country roads

When the days were long

And the world was small

Naruto began to sing a little louder.

He stood by as it fell apart

Separate rooms and broken hearts

But I won't be the one

To let you go

Sasuke rubbed Naruto's back a bit and pulled him closer to him.

Oh

Sasuke joined in with Naruto, singing in near perfect harmony.

Well I'm not sure what this is gonna be

But when my eyes closed all I see

Is the skyline

Through the window

The moon above you and the streets below

And I hold my breath as you're moving in,

Taste your lips and feel your skin

And when the time comes

Baby don't run

Just kiss me slowly.

Then, all was still. Sasuke and Naruto just nuzzled each other until they fell asleep, both sleeping away all of their worries, but beside one another.

Naruto woke up. He was tired, and yet all too awake. He could feel Sasuke's light breathing as he slept a bit longer. Naruto lightly placed his head on Sasuke's chest and listened to the steady beat of his heart. They breathed together, but it didn't occur to Naruto. Their hearts beat in sync, but Naruto didn't notice. All he could notice was the scent that he had come to identify as Sasuke. That's all he cared about. Sasuke's heart skipped a beat and Naruto opened his eyes. When did he close them in the first place? He felt Sasuke stir a little bit and Naruto moved his head.

Sasuke opened his eyes and looked down at the blond.

"Good morning love." Sasuke mumbled.

Don't run away…

Naruto smiled and pushed himself up towards the raven's lips, kissing them lightly. "Good morning to you."

Sasuke smirked a bit and wound his arms around the blonds torso and pulled Naruto on top of him. Naruto's face flushed a bit, but Sasuke calmed him down by kissing him softly. Naruto let out a soft moan and deepened the kiss, causing the raven to grunt a bit in need. They kissed for a while, moving their lips in sync and letting out soft noises. Sasuke pushed his tongue out and licked Naruto's bottom lip. Naruto complied, letting Sasuke's tongue into his mouth. They battled for dominance for a while, but Sasuke won out, letting his tongue explore the blond's mouth. Naruto let out a much louder moan and Sasuke pulled Naruto even closer in reaction. Sasuke could feel himself getting hard and he had to pull away. He closed his eyes, and controlled his breathing.

"What's wrong, Sasu?" Naruto asked, his eyes half-lidded and clouded with a bit of lust.

Sasuke breathed in and out once again. "I" he began, taking a moment before looking up at the blond. He saw how beautiful Naruto was, but how full his eyes were of desire and Sasuke cursed to himself and looked away. "I can't be this close to you because I want to make love to you, but I don't know how you'll feel." Sasuke said in one breath.

Naruto suddenly understood. Sasuke didn't want to hurt him. Naruto had been nothing but raped his entire life, and Sasuke was worried about what Naruto would feel. It made him smile. Naruto moved his legs to where he was straddling the raven and he leaned down and kissed Sasuke's collarbone. Sasuke stiffened, and Naruto continued kissing down the raven's neckline. He smirked a bit when he felt a pressure on his ass. It didn't scare him the way he thought it would, but instead made him extremely happy that he was able to arouse Sasuke in such a way.

And it's hard to love again,

"I want to do this Sasuke. I want to make love with you." Naruto said, whispering in Sasuke's ear.

When the only way it's been,

"I don't want to hurt you. I want to love you, but I don't want to hurt you."

When the only love you've known

Naruto smiled. He knew, right then and there, that this was the man he would spend the rest of his life with.

Just walked away…

Sasuke looked at Naruto. "All that's ever happened to you was this, and I don't want me to just be another one on your list." He looked away and pulled Naruto's chest to his. "Why don't you be on top? Why don't you do it. So you can be in complete control and stop if you're scared."

Naruto smiled.

If it's something that you want

"I trust you Sasuke. I trust you and I love you and I want you." Naruto said. "I'll tell you if I want you to stop." He leaned down and kissed the raven, slowly rotating their positions.

Darling,

In moments, they were back to where they were. Naruto had his legs around Sasuke and Sasuke was kissing Naruto with everything that he had. He sat up, and pulled off his shirt, tossing it onto the floor. He went back to kissing Naruto, but trailed down his neckline. Sasuke's hand slipped under his shirt and felt the toned stomach. He reached his hand all the way under Naruto's shirt and tweaked his nipple. Naruto gasped, and Sasuke smirked into the blond's neck. He used his hand and pulled Naruto's shirt above his head. Naruto complied and sat up a bit, unintentionally sitting into Sasuke's hand. Sasuke tweaked the nipple again and tossed the shirt to the side. He kissed down the blonds chest and stopped at the other nipple, licking softly. Naruto gasped. He could feel himself start to harden. Nobody had ever done this to him. Turned him on. Wanted to make him feel good. Sure, in his years living alone after Jaraiya had found him, he had experimented with himself, but nobody ever made him feel good. Nobody ever tried. But the way Sasuke was treating him made him understand that this, making love, was good for both people. Was made so both people felt amazing.

Naruto moaned and pushed his hips up, not meaning to rub Sasuke's crotch with his butt, but the raven moaned anyway.

"Naruto" Sasuke breathed into the blond's chest. Sasuke moved his hands down to his pants, unbuttoning and pulling of his pants. He did the same for Naruto, and both were in their underwear.

Sasuke touched Naruto's bare thigh and Naruto's breath hitched.

Sasuke stopped, looking up at Naruto.

Naruto looked down at the raven and nodded. "Keep going. Keep going." Naruto said hurriedly.

Sasuke nodded, and went ahead and pulled of his own boxers. "I want you to take yours off yourself. I want to know that you're really okay with this.

Naruto nodded and wiggled himself out of his boxers. He threw the orange thing off to the side. Naruto wrapped his legs around Sasuke's hips again and grabbed one of the raven's hands. He pulled it to his mouth and put three in his mouth. Sasuke watched as Naruto sucked his fingers, and it made Sasuke harder, if that was even possible. Naruto smirked.

"You're so beautiful Naruto."

Naruto smiled as best he could and continued. He only let go once he was positive that the fingers were well lubricated. Naruto nodded and Sasuke moved his fingers to Naruto's opening.

You don't have to run,

He pushed a finger in and waited for Naruto to adjust, and when Naruto nodded, he pushed in another finger. He waited again, and when the blond nodded a second time, Sasuke began to scissor the blond. He added another finger and waited for the okay. He stretched the blond until he could feel the blond getting a bit antsy. It was time and they both knew it.

Naruto spit on his hand and reached down, making sure Sasuke was sufficiently lubricated as well. Naruto laid back, his head resting on the pillow. He let his legs go a bit limp and Sasuke grabbed one, resting it on his shoulder. He turned his head and kissed the inside of the blond's knee. Naruto moved one of his legs behind Sasuke.

"Tell me if you mean it." Sasuke whispered into the blond's leg.

Naruto smiled, reaching up and letting his hands ghost over Sasuke's pale chest. "I love you. I trust you. And I mean it." Naruto whispered.

Sasuke nodded.

You don't have to go.

He positioned himself at Naruto's entrance, and watched as Naruto tensed, but instantly relaxed. He let the tip of his penis touch Naruto's entrance, but the blond didn't flinch, so Sasuke continued.

He pushed into the blond, only letting the tip enter Naruto. Sasuke had to control his breathing, and he could feel Naruto tensing up. Sasuke knew that this was too soon for the blond. He began to pull out, but Naruto used his leg and forced the raven in. Sasuke thrust forward, becoming fully sheathed and he gasped. Naruto was so warm and so tight. He had to close his eyes, but it didn't help much. He could feel Naruto's muscles squeezing and loosening.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked.

"I should be asking you that." Sasuke breathed out.

Naruto laughed a little bit and Sasuke joined in. It made everything so much less intense and angsty.

Just stay with me,

Naruto looked at Sasuke and smiled. Sasuke knew what that meant, so Sasuke pulled out and pushed back in. He was slow at first, but Naruto was already moaning.

"Faster, Sasuke." Naruto begged, and Sasuke complied. He began to thrust into Naruto at a faster pace, and then Naruto saw stars. He bit Sasuke's shoulder to keep in his scream. Naruto had never felt so amazing.

"God. Naruto. I love you." Sasuke said, thrusting in faster and deeper, aiming for that spot in every thrust.

Naruto couldn't hold back the moans. "Sasuke. Oh my god. Please. More. Fuck." he moaned.

Sasuke reached his hand toward Naruto's dick and began to pump it. It made Naruto moan even louder. "Oh god, Sasuke. I'm gonna cum!"

Sasuke could tell. Naruto was getting tighter and tighter, and Sasuke was on the edge himself. He dropped his head beside Naruto's shoulder and moaned into the tanned skin.

"Me too love."

Naruto could feel the coil and the beginning of the climax.

"God. Sasuke. I love you so much."

Sasuke could feel it too. The heat pooling into his lower abdomen. "I love you too, Naruto."

Sasuke lifted his head and brought his lips to the blond's. They kissed with every ounce of passion they had left and, with one last thrust, they both came. Naruto over their chests and Sasuke's hand, and Sasuke deep inside of Naruto. All they could see was white behind their closed eyelids.

Then, all was still. Sasuke pulled out and fell to Naruto's side. He pulled the blond into his arms and pulled the covers over them.

"Sasuke, we need to clean up..." Naruto mumbled.

"No we don't" Sasuke snickered.

They both shared a laugh, but just stayed with each other, breathing in each others scent.

"We need to do that more often." Naruto said.

Sasuke laughed. "If you say so love."

"Well." Naruto said. "I say so."

Baby stay with me

Naruto stood in front of the crowd. Somehow, he and his closest friends created their band and were now famous. They called themselves Kunai. Naruto sang, but it was Sasuke that wrote all of the songs. Sasuke wrote, played guitar, and sang backup vocals. Kiba was introduced to the drums at the end of their freshman year and was amazing at it, and Sasuke taught Gaara bass. Ino was a singer for a couple of songs, but she mostly played the keyboard for the group.

Naruto was in his old buckle and zipper jeans, and wearing a simple black shirt, but the rest of the group wore a bit more of the scene look . This was one of their softer songs, but the crowd seemed to love it non the less.

The music was blaring across the screaming crowd, and then it went almost silent. The lights dimmed, and Naruto smiled to himself. This was the song that, no matter what, they would play at every concert. It was his and Sasuke's song. And nothing or nobody could ever take that away from them.

Naruto opened his mouth, and the light show began anew, flashing at the audience to the beat of the music. Naruto started singing again, but with every ounce that he could muster.

Well, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,

But when my eyes closed all I see

Is the skyline,

Through the window,

The moon above you

And the streets below.

Naruto moved to the front of the stage. Although the song was for Sasuke and Naruto, he made it seem like it was for every person in the crowd.

(Don't let go) Sasuke sang in the background.

And I hold my breath as you're movin in,

Taste your lips

And feel your skin

And when the time comes

Baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.

After Naruto had pulled back from the front row, he moved back toward the center of the stage and turned to the crowd once more, taking the final stance for the final chorus of the night.

Oh, I'm not sure where this is gonna go,

But in this moment

All I know,

Is the skyline

Through the window

The moon above you

And the streets below

(baby, don't let go) Sasuke sang, Naruto looking at Sasuke and the raven looking back at the blond. They both smiled, and Naruto looked back at the crowd and Sasuke back down at his guitar.

And I hold my breath as you're movin in,

Taste your lips

And feel your skin

And when the time comes,

Baby don't run,

Suddenly the music stopped and the lights went out, and all that was left was Naruto, his spotlight, and his voice. He thought of the first words his raven had said to him, their first hug, their first kiss, and their first time. Naruto loved Sasuke with all his heart and knew that Sasuke loved him just as much. Naruto closed his eyes and felt the last lyric with his heart.

Just kiss me slowly…
