Petrichor.
The smell of a storm. Of warmth that's relieved by cool showers and the earthy smell left behind. Wet grass, rich soil, and crisp air. It is refreshing as it is exciting, like the anticipation in the air right before lightning strikes.
Sasuke dreamed of petrichor and honeyed fruit often.
In fact, his nose was absolutely clogged with it currently, along with the faint hints of sweetness laced through it. Which was more unusual for an alpha. Though that smallest hint of ripe peaches was more soured now as they fought.
Have been fighting.
He throws a nasty punch at Naruto that connects with a satisfying oomph.
Naruto had never been all that good at controlling his scent. It wasn't like that was a particularly difficult conclusion to come to either. In the few brief interactions they'd had since Sasuke left years ago, he could already tell that much. Each time they ran into each other, no matter how short or fleeting, he could practically taste the yearning and frustration in Naruto's scent. Like he could stick his tongue out and collect the alluring pheromones right out of thin air. His emotions were always so blatantly obvious, even now as they traded haggard blows.
He was currently roiling with anger, frustration, and that head strong determination.
Yet Sasuke knew he wasn't faring much better if he was honest with himself. Probably telegraphing every emotion just as clearly now that he'd gotten so worn down. It was pure spite keeping him on his two legs at this point. So forcing his baser instincts down was his last priority.
Naruto tried to sweep his legs out from under him next but Sasuke jumped back. He only stumbled a single step, exhaustion was creeping up on the fringes of his senses, then he was back to the practiced rhythm of their dance.
The grueling fight had drug on long enough that the waning grasp he had on his self control was shrinking. The urge to bite and snap, or dominate was plaguing him. Only made worse by the man in front of him of course. Naruto was right there, he should be taking what he wants. What is rightfully mine, his mind supplied. But he'd keep a grip, he wasn't completely pathetic.
Honestly, when did they ever really hold back against each other though? It had always been all or nothing between them.
That was why they were both running on metaphorical fumes now. Playing a key role in saving the world could do that to a person, it was quite the burden to shoulder. And though Sasuke worked side by side with the very people he detested, ninja from the village he loathed, didn't mean he had any intentions of playing nice now. With the war over and done with he needed time.
He had decisions to make and things to mull over. Would he destroy the village that destroyed his family, commanded the genocide of his entire clan at the hands of his poor brother? Or would he just walk away? Sasuke knew his brother wouldn't want the total annihilation of the Hidden Leaf to avenge him. But burning the wretched place down to its foundations for his brother was still appealing.
Burning the village down to make a point to Naruto, for Naruto, was equally as appealing. Maybe even a bit romantic, if not a bit insane, because Sasuke knew Naruto wouldn't see it that way.
The entire reason they were fighting now boiled down to that roughly. Outside of their need for a rematch, and what a flimsy excuse that was.
Naruto wanted Sasuke to return to the village with him and have him by his side as he finally achieved his dream. He went on and on about his usual bullshit earlier, and Sasuke wouldn't have any of it.
He wanted the exact opposite.
It enraged him all the more that Naruto was so willfully blind to his own abuse at the hands of the village. Would even consider staying after everything he's been through, how blatantly he'd been used. Naruto might've been able to look past it, but Sasuke wasn't.
Everything that happened to them was preventable if anyone cared to try. So fucking preventable it ate away at Sasuke if he lingered on it too long.
His alpha pheromones began to flare even more in response to Naruto's and his knuckles sang with each hit he landed on the other. The stench of smoldering cinders was acrid in the air alongside Naruto's own agitated scent.
At first they were both pulling out all the stops, using every flashy and powerful jutsu they had to throw at each other. But, as the fight continued on, the polished techniques and forms devolved into something animalistic. A discombobulated frenzy of flying punches and kicks. It would take merely one whiff and anyone nearby would run the other direction at the smell of two near feral alphas beating the shit out of each other.
Naruto landed a solid punch to his jaw that sent his head snapping to one side and his head spinning. His vision blurred in a smear of golds, browns, and oranges. The glare of the setting sun off the puddles all around them had his strained eyes aching even more. A growl rumbled up from deep in his chest as he righted himself, and he spun on Naruto before he could land another hit.
But his hand was caught mid swing and Naruto caught the other right after. They grappled with each other for the upper hand.
"I'm not letting you leave again," Naruto hissed at him. This close he could about feel the spittle flying from Naruto's lips with each harshly spat word. It was the first words spoken since this started hours ago, his voice hoarse and ragged. But it was merely a variation of what Naruto's been shouting after him their entire lives. It was odd he'd think they'd be anymore impactful now than anytime before.
"I already told you I'm not going back to the damn village! I'd rather destroy it than ever go back," he snarled and jabbed his knee up hard into Naruto's gut. Naruto doubled over with a wheeze but refused to let go of Sasuke's hands. Their fingers remained stubbornly laced together.
Naruto rammed his head up and into Sasuke's chin in retaliation.
His head cracked backwards and he cursed loudly. Sasuke should've saw that coming. The familiar tang of iron filled his mouth where he bit his lip on accident.
"It's your home, Sasuke! There are people there who care about you!" Naruto shouted at him and freed one of his hands for a punch. Drawing it back quickly and swinging.
The I care about you was painful unsaid but obvious. It was insulting really that Naruto wouldn't just come right out with it at this point.
Irritation boiled up in Sasuke with a vengeance because of it. More than he even thought possible considering how frustrated he already was. But Naruto had always been good about pushing him past his limits.
Nobody back in the Leaf actually gave a shit about Sasuke. The only person that does is right in front of him.
"The Hidden Leaf hasn't been my home for a long time," his sharingan flared back to life and he redirected Naruto's incoming punch easily with his open palm, "and the quicker you understand that, the better."
Sasuke swung his free arm in the next instant and his fist crashed square into Naruto's cheek. Naruto staggered and nearly crumbled into his arms from the blow but Sasuke wouldn't let go of him. His fingers curled around his wrist and yanked him back up just to punch him again. Leaving his knuckles wet with blood from the freshly opened gash on Naruto's cheek.
"Those people don't care about you. They didn't even like you, let alone trust you, until it was convenient for the village!"
Naruto's scent spiked dangerously with each word and his growing anger, his pupils narrowed down to fine slits. Instead of coming back with another retort like Sasuke thought he would, Naruto slashed at him instead. Claws fully extended and raking down his chest, from shoulder to hip, through his already tattered shirt. They carved his skin in harsh lines that would definitely scar.
Pain blossomed in the wake of his torn flesh and his jaw dropped around a cry. He reluctantly let go of Naruto's wrist to quickly press against the weeping lines of scarlet seeping into his clothes. It stung, yet ignited something primal in his gut.
"I've managed to forgive them and so can you," Naruto huffed and flicked the bit of blood from his fingertips. Like that was somehow supposed to be profound. Forgiveness as easy to give as removing his blood from his nails. But something about it didn't sit right with Sasuke. It was the way Naruto couldn't come up with that response immediately, hesitated even, that led Sasuke to believe otherwise.
Naruto always had something to say. Wasn't usually the type to meticulously think through everything that came out his mouth.
"They don't deserve forgiveness! Mine or yours! They don't deserve you!" he snarled and lunged forward.
Naruto barely dodged out of the way as Sasuke tried punching him for the 'nth time then aimed the heel of his foot right for Naruto's gut. Tan, calloused hands quickly grabbed his shin though so he couldn't pull his leg back from the kick and create some space. When he went to yank himself free Naruto dug his nails in. And instead of throwing him onto the wet ground, Naruto just held him there. Stopping the rhythm of the fight completely.
"Then who does, Sasuke? Who?" Naruto growled in his face. The nine tail's whiskers etched into his cheeks were harsher than normal. A little thicker and darker to mirror how on edge he was. His grip on Sasuke's leg grew painful at each pinprick of his nails. Daring him to answer as much as questioning him.
And Sasuke about laughed in his face. He knew the answer, and he knew that Naruto knew too.
All over again he's reminded of that time. When he first left because the weight of the world and its cruelty drove him to misguided revenge. But also because of the hold Naruto unknowingly had over him. How he couldn't put it to words the way Naruto would want to hear. A fight not much unlike this one.
It scared him.
Sasuke knew from a young age, even before either of them presented, that Naruto was it. The one. It was just a gut feeling, but he'd never felt so strongly about anything else with so little reasoning. And it didn't matter what capacity he had Naruto, anything would do. As long as they were together, no matter how annoying he was, Sasuke felt like the world made a little more sense. At least that was his mindset as a child that is.
So it was quite the surprise when years later they both presented as alphas. He was off with Orochimaru seeking power at the time and Naruto was on the road with Jiraiya. Their first reunion after he deserted, short as it was, left him shaken. Under the calm and dismissive exterior he was confused to be face to face with another alpha.
It was also during that time he realized what the true nature of his 'gut feeling' actually was. Just a few years away from the idiot put things in perspective painfully so. He figured Naruto would be his perfect match, a strong omega to his alpha. But by the natural order of things, anything more than friendship between them wouldn't work. He was left with the reckoning of years worth of preconceived social norms and faulty assumptions. And of course every other hectic thing in his life to make things even more complicated on top of it.
Now, though, he couldn't care less what anyone else would think. Both of them being alphas didn't change a thing to Sasuke.
And Naruto asking this was straying into that unsaid territory they'd both been skirting around. This thing that was painfully mutual.
He had the words now but didn't need to spell it out for him.
Sasuke mustered his strength and surged forward. He twisted his trapped leg and used his forward momentum to hook it behind Naruto and send them both to the ground.
Grunts and growls filled the air as the both of them scrambled to get a hold of each other as soon as they hit the dirt. They rolled about while wrestling to get on top. Sasuke fisted a hand in Naruto's hair and the other in his shirt. Meanwhile Naruto locked both his legs around him to try and flip them.
"Answer dammit."
The damp ground chilled Sasuke's back as Naruto's weight settled on top of him. Strong thighs straddled his waist and bloody hands pinned his shoulders, looking all battered and out of breath. It was a pretty damn good sight if Naruto wasn't about to claw him to shreds. Sasuke tightened his grip on his sweaty, blonde hair and yanked. A soft yelp spilled from Naruto's lips and his head bowed.
He bucked his hips up to dislodge Naruto with little success. If anything it created a slew of sensations between them as their bodies rocked together. It was too much for his frazzled brain. Sasuke's chest burned with each inhale, like Naruto's scent was suffocating him and his blood was burning him up from the inside out.
"You refuse to come home after everything I've been through for you, and now you won't even talk to me? Real mature, Sasuke," Naruto growled at his silence. His claws dug into Sasuke painfully where his hands struggled to keep his shoulders down.
Enough.
Sasuke let go of Naruto's hair to drive his elbow into the side of his neck. The reaction was instant, Naruto gagged and slumped onto him with a whimper, trying to suck down a breath. And Sasuke took the opportunity to roll them in the dirt to settle back on top of him.
"Come with me," he said after catching his own breath.
Naruto slowly stopped struggling under him. The frustrated wrinkles in his face gently smoothed out to ones of confusion, and his brows pulled together. It was silent for a beat and their breaths mingled in the small space between them.
"What?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes and leaned closer, invading Naruto's space. It was only mildly alarming that his gums ached suddenly where his teeth begged to elongate. To bite. Naruto's breaths stuttered and Sasuke could nearly count every eyelash framing his dark, blue eyes so close. Or the way a bead of sweat dripped down his temple and disappeared into a fresh cut.
The fight, even the conversation itself, was falling to the wayside. Rapidly.
"You heard me," he repeated flatly, his eyes were unable to look away from Naruto's pulse tiredly fluttering along his neck. There was an itch to do, but he had to wait.
His scent blossomed into something warmer out of his control. Something to soothe and relax, it was even a bit disarming to himself. Sasuke hadn't been able to be this close to Naruto in a long time. Without the intent to fight of course. It was hitting the 'alpha' part of his brain like a dose of some hard drug straight into his bloodstream.
Perceptive as Naruto was, he picked up on the shift quickly. His hands loosened their grip only to tighten once again in Sasuke's shirt.
"I can't just abandon everything and everyone. My entire life I've been working towards becoming the Hokage. I could change things," he said angrily while his eyes flicked down to Sasuke's lips. His tongue poked out to wet his own.
Sasuke couldn't help the scoff that scratched out of his throat. "You've only ever wanted to be Hokage so people would accept you. See past the nine tails and see the real you." Sasuke's hand drifted to Naruto's jaw and gripped it firmly, forcing their eyes to meet. "You're an obedient shield they're all willing to hide behind. The moment you're not useful anymore or make a mistake, what then? Do you really think they care?"
Naruto stared up at him wide eyed. He shook his head slightly in his grip, but Sasuke could see the uncertainty in his gaze. Trying to deny the words outright and fend off the leeching doubt. But the seed was planted.
"I am the only one who truly understands you," Sasuke whispered, "and you, me."
He could already imagine it, this 'life' Naruto was envisioning. He'd drag Sasuke back and look past every wrong doing just to have him close. Selfishly keeping Sasuke but too scared to actually indulge. Then over the next couple years of working towards the useless title of Hokage, he'd settle for some omega since it'd be the 'proper' thing to do. Someone like Hinata. She was sweet, agreeable, and 'acceptable' to the eyes of the village. And Sasuke would just be there, toiling away. Forced to live in the very place that tore him apart in more than one way and watch Naruto's piss poor attempt at normalcy.
It was fucking disgusting. A vision of the future Sasuke would not let come to pass.
At the end of the day, deep in both their marrow, it was so clear they were meant for more. Naruto was just too attached and in denial to see it.
"The only one," Sasuke repeated lowly. His lips ghosted the shell of Naruto's ear, eliciting a full body shiver from him.
Naruto didn't have a thing to say to that, but he seemed to thrum like an exposed nerve under him. Trembling and fatigued, waiting for the next blow but not shying away either.
Sasuke let the words linger for just a moment more before taking the opportunity served right in front of him. He couldn't risk Naruto slipping through his fingers. His bared neck was right there, sweet and inviting. With a quick tilt of his head he closed the small distance between them and snared Naruto with his bite.
His sharp teeth found their home right in the crook of Naruto's neck. Puncturing the delicate glands and tasting his unadulterated scent on his tongue. He didn't even think twice about doing it, he'd wanted this for so long. Under different circumstances he might've felt a little guilty. Not now though.
Naruto went stiff as a board under him and his claws unintentionally dug into his chest viciously. Sasuke hissed into tan skin because of the sting and bit down harder to subdue him.
"Sasuke-" Naruto choked out his name and his body finally seemed to boot back up. Sasuke had to drop his full body weight onto him as Naruto thrashed about. Kicking his legs out and snarling weakly in only the way a cornered animal might.
The claim wouldn't exactly take with Naruto also being an alpha, but it was the principle of it.
When he finally pulled back to inspect his handiwork a wave of heat washed over Sasuke. Equal parts pride and lust filled his veins. His teeth had perfectly broke the skin and a bruise was already welling up around it.
Sasuke wanted to do it again.
He was pulled from his reverie though as Naruto's hands grabbed both sides of his face only to slam their heads together. Forehead smashing into forehead with a harsh thud.
"Fuck!" he cursed and collapsed onto Naruto in a pile of loose limbs. All his bodily control disappeared for a second while his brain rattled around the cage of his skull. He was getting too tired for more genuine fighting.
He felt Naruto's hands snake into his hair then and pull. When he was wrenched back he was met with a brilliant flush coloring Naruto's cheeks that wasn't there before. It was only hidden slightly under the smears of dirt, bruising, and scrapes.
"What the hell?!" Naruto screeched. Downright pissed, shocked, and flustered all at the same time. It was a delicious addition to his already sweltering scent that Sasuke was happy to breathe in greedily through his nose.
Pain prickled along his scalp as Naruto yanked his hair again, trying to bear his pale neck. He'd rip chunks of his hair out by the handful if he kept that force up. But Sasuke wouldn't let him, rip his hair out or bear his neck. He could see the intention behind those eyes, and he'd make Naruto work for it if he wanted to bite him back.
"You liked it," Sasuke huffed and shoved his palm over Naruto's mouth, keeping his head pressed down to the dirt.
For just a second a laugh threatened to bubble up and out of him. Maybe he was finally losing it, but he'd never felt so elated before. Probably due to the rush of endorphins from the bite mixing messily with the adrenaline from fighting.
They were simultaneously trying to push each other away and not letting go at the same time. How idiotic.
His other hand curled into the material of Naruto's undershirt and tugged the collar down. The need to get closer, under the other's very skin, became unbearable. His mouth latched onto the newly exposed skin instantly. His jutting collar bones were perfect for the taking.
Naruto gasped mid objection and curled into Sasuke. His arms wrapped tightly around him and held him close rather than shoving him away. And his legs tried to fold closed but Sasuke was an immovable wall between them. The hand in his dark hair was still harsh though, and Sasuke wouldn't have it any other way as he mouthed along his neck.
"We're not going back," Sasuke said between nips. He didn't care how many times it took, but he was going to get that through Naruto's thick skull even if he had to tell him one hundred more times. His tongue lapped over the bruises already blooming like spring flowers, not so much in apology but just because he could. He could taste the sweat and musk underscored by his stormy scent.
Naruto growled beneath him and squirmed more. Like he'd somehow forgotten and was reminded just now of their entire conversation before, and was in fact not supposed to be enjoying this.
"No," he grit out and drug his hand down from Sasuke's hair to catch on the collar of his shirt. Naruto tugged, and instead of pulling him off, he merely ripped the fabric. The fibers of his shirt gave easily to Naruto's fingers and the breeze whispered over his exposed back.
Sasuke chuffed and shoved his nose further into Naruto's neck and roughly thread his fingers in the hair at his nape while the other clawed into the dirt. He could make out his own scent on the other's skin and it made his gut tight. His hips bucked of their own accord into the cradle of Naruto's thighs. "Idiot," he said and bit down on Naruto's neck again.
His eyes slipped shut and a satisfied rumble started deep in his chest. This just felt right. His blood was practically singing and he could feel his body responding in kind. Naruto choked on a cry like he tried to cut it off before it could escape but failed, and pressed his hips up to meet Sasuke's.
The fact that they were out in the open and anyone could walk up on them was not a deterrent in the slightest. If anything, it made the alpha in Sasuke preen. He could show just how deep his connection to Naruto ran. The claim that was so obvious.
Their bodies pressed together hurriedly like they wouldn't have another chance to be so close, getting a little lost in the pleasant grind. Rutting like animals in heat. All the while Naruto snarled and clawed at his back.
Sasuke worked his teeth over the second bite then eased off just to suck at the spot. He wanted to draw out the bruise now, make it dark and tender to the touch. Naruto's breaths grew airy and light in his ear from all the attention, he couldn't stay pissed forever. Sasuke could handle him being angry for a while, but he'd come to understand eventually. He understood it'd be hard to leave the village, leave everything behind at first. As long as they were together it'd work out.
"I'm gonna knot you."
He spoke directly into Naruto's skin. The desire was out there in the open before he could think better of it. But it's not like that wasn't exactly what he wanted. God he wanted that so bad it hurt. Could feel his dick painfully so trapped in his pants. He quickly shrugged the tattered remains of his top off and shredded the thin chain mail that could be mistaken for mesh off Naruto.
Naruto whined and dug his head back into the ground. A frustrated growl grated out of him like it was pried through his clenched teeth. "You can't just- we're having a conversation here," he spluttered. He was trying so hard not to give in, to keep up an annoyed front. But his hands were already mapping Sasuke's back and his ankles were locked around him.
Sasuke took his arguing with a grain of salt.
"Be honest with yourself. What do you want?" he said with a slow roll of his hips. His lips returned to Naruto's neck like he couldn't stand to be far from him for too long and his hands slowly pulled at the other's pants.
"You know what I want!" Naruto shouted. Sasuke could imagine the frown surely on his face right now. Most likely pinching his sweat and blood streaked face gently. "Just come back with me."
Naruto's hands slid back into his hair, far gentler this time than any time before. Almost like he was cradling Sasuke's head. And Sasuke let him tilt his head back so their eyes could meet.
"Please."
It was desperate, and Sasuke could see how a weaker man would crumble under the weight of the single word. At another time he might've.
"Don't lie to me," he said instead.
Naruto's face fell, and for a second it looked like he might cry. So Sasuke leaned down to knock his forehead against his.
"What do you want."
"I want you to be happy," Naruto sighed and fidgeted. But it was only a half truth. A pitiful attempt to throw Sasuke off his trail really. The way Naruto averted his eyes and his scent curled just so was all Sasuke needed to know.
Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the scruff with enough force to draw a whimper out of him. "We both know I won't be happy back there. The village wouldn't allow me back anyway, I'm a terrorist in their eyes," he whispered softly.
Sasuke's grip didn't cow Naruto at all though as he met his glare head on. Those sure hands that bore callouses from years of diligent work trembled where they framed his head and threaded through his dark hair that hung down where it didn't stick plastered to his sweaty skin.
"What do you want, Naruto," he asked one more time.
A handful of emotions played out behind Naruto's eyes. Looking so tortured just from the troubled shade of blue even though his body was perfectly happy where it was. He was going through some internal struggle, so Sasuke would let him struggle through it.
Come on. Be selfish.
But far sooner than he thought, Naruto's expression settled. And he really looked up at Sasuke, searching for something. Sasuke patiently gazed back.
Then Naruto's mouth slammed against his.
Sasuke's eyebrows nearly flew into his hairline but he got over his shock fairly quick. He groaned as their lips melded together and parted messily, blood and spit swirled along with their tongues. Their noses bumped and their teeth knocked together. Naruto's fingers twisted in his hair painfully and Sasuke growled in answer.
"It's you," Naruto panted against his moving lips. Sasuke had no intentions of stopping now, even to hear the answer he'd been wanting this entire time. He'd consume him if he could, but the best he could do for now was licking into his open mouth. Over his sharp canines and further along the roof of his mouth.
"Sasuke-" he moaned brokenly. Half muffled by Sasuke's lips and distorted by the pleasure assaulting him. "Don't leave me."
"Never," Sasuke said instantly. He wouldn't even dream of leaving behind the gorgeous man with his very soul unfurling beneath him.
The sudden urgency to actually follow through on what he said earlier had his ragged breaths tripping. Getting caught somewhere in his airways before they could rush out of him. His cock ached so bad that instant he thought he might pass out, half his blood had to be in his dick right now. He was going to fuck Naruto so good he'd be ruined. No one else would be as good as him.
Sasuke pushed himself up quickly to work at the ties of his pants but Naruto followed. His beautiful alpha, bloodied and bruised, sat up and buried his face against his chest. He was so caught up in just trying to free himself from his damned pants he completely forgot he was trying make Naruto earn biting him. So Naruto's mouth painted a line of wet, opened mouth kisses from his sternum to his neck, and quickly latched onto his bared skin before he could react.
"Ah- shit!"
His hands abandoned his half dropped pants to grab Naruto's shoulders. His nails dug in savagely and he moaned as a rush of pure pleasure shot down his spine. Their scents twined together like a raging wildfire battering against a storm. It was intense and so uniquely them.
Naruto let out a satisfied purr and ran his hands along Sasuke's sides. Trailing over the scrapes and cuts, the sweat and flaking blood. It was so gentle and sweet in juxtaposition to the moment it made Sasuke's head buzz.
The pain dulled as Naruto pulled back and lapped up the few beads of blood that welled from the bite.
"Now you're mine," Naruto said all airy and soft, like it made him breathless just to say it aloud.
He was so god damned sweet. A voice wanted to pipe up from some dark recess of his mind to say he didn't deserve Naruto. That Naruto deserved only the most gentle and sincere love after everything he'd been through. But Sasuke was a selfish bastard and there was really only a few things he was truly ashamed of. Loving Naruto was not one of those things. Another time he'd treat Naruto to every sweet thing in the world where they had a proper bed with nice sheets and plenty of lube.
They'd make do for now.
Sasuke couldn't help himself and smashed his lips back against Naruto's. He'd never tire of the taste of him. He was burning with a need that he could feel mirrored in every touch from Naruto. All the layers between them needed to go. His tongue slid along Naruto's and he quickly tugged his abandoned pants and boxers down to about mid thigh. He didn't have the patience to work them all the way off.
His cock bobbed heavily between his legs finally free and Naruto broke their kiss to look down.
"Oh, wow," Naruto mumbled dumbly. As if he didn't have the exact same anatomy attached to his own body. Sasuke rolled his eyes fondly, planted his hand right between Naruto's pecs, and shoved him. He fell back with a soft grunt and shot a small glare up at him.
"What was that for?"
"It's easier to get you out of your pants this way," Sasuke deadpanned, and without further delay yanked Naruto's pants and boxers off in one fell swoop. He threw the offending clothes somewhere over his shoulder to deal with later and took a second to drink in the sight below him.
Naruto was perfect. Strong and toned of course with no visible scars thanks to Kurama. Just the evidence of their earlier fight remained since he was too drained to heal himself. That fact pleased him immensely. At least for a while his marks would paint Naruto's skin. Like his bites and hickeys. Sasuke's hands followed his eyes as they trailed down his abdomen, tracing the v that tapered below his navel and further down. He ghosted his fingers delicately over the brassy golden hair that led down to a thicker patch of curls at the root of his sex.
He chanced a look up at Naruto's face and he was biting his lip and staring back at him with wide eyes, pupils blown. Tension was riddled through his entire frame like he was holding himself back from pouncing, afraid to break this moment. A small smirk tugged the corners of Sasuke's lips and he gently curled one of his hands around Naruto's cock and gave it a light squeeze. The only sound Naruto made was something close to a sharp inhale through his nose, still holding back for no apparent reason.
"So sensitive," Sasuke chuckled under his breath and let go of Naruto's cock all together.
Naruto made an offended sort of noise like he'd deny it but Sasuke shushed him with a quick nip to his chest that had him moaning sharply. He could spend more time here and tease Naruto till he was writhing and begging for it but he wasn't in the mood to wait. His hands slid along Naruto's inner thighs to the backs of them and pushed them up so Naruto's knees about touched his shoulders. He looked nice folded in half. And before Naruto could fuss and try to squirm away from the compromising position Sasuke spat a large glob of saliva between his legs.
Naruto practically jumped out of his skin and Sasuke had to hold his legs in place or he'd get a foot in the face.
The spit didn't land exactly where he wanted it, but it was close enough. It shimmered in the setting sun's light where it slowly slid down Naruto's perineum.
"Sasuke! The hell-"
"I can't just fuck you dry," he explained and let go of one of Naruto's legs to drag his fingers through the spit then down to his hole. Naruto clenched up immediately when his fingers swirled around his rim, just spreading the spit.
"Then hurry up," Naruto said in a huff and let his leg not being held up fall open while his hands dug into the dirt at his sides. He was flustered, Sasuke noted with satisfaction. His face was red as a tomato and he'd screwed his eyes shut. So maybe a bit embarrassed and turned on from being spit on, but that could be unpacked later. Really there was so much he wanted to do to Naruto, so many types of pleasure he wanted to show him, but it'd all have to wait for another time.
He slid one finger in to the knuckle and Naruto clenched around him like a vice. It did things to his brain that had him just staring down at the ring of muscle clamped down around him in awe.
"Shit- shit, wait."
Sasuke let Naruto's leg he was holding relax back against his body so it rested over his shoulder then bent down to let another glob of spit fall from his lips onto Naruto's hole.
"You can take it, Naruto. You're gonna take my knot, right?" he cooed with a smirk and worked his finger back inside with the extra spit. The glide was a little easier with the added 'lubricant' but still not ideal. Naruto gave him a grunt in answer and threw one of his arms over his eyes. His breaths came in shallow pants and he squirmed under Sasuke.
Sasuke soothed his other hand up and down Naruto's thigh and pressed an open mouthed kiss to the inside of his knee while thrusting his finger in and out of him. He went on like that for a while, longer than we would've preferred, but the last thing he wanted to do right now was hurt Naruto during this. When he thought Naruto could finally handle it he removed his finger, spit a generous amount more on his hand, and plunged back in with two fingers.
Naruto moaned brokenly and grit his teeth. He was still strung tight like a bow string. His entire body was tensed, back arched off the ground and his toes curled.
Sasuke scissored his fingers deeper in Naruto's ass, searching for that spot that should have him writhing. "Come on, relax, Naruto," he whispered into his skin. Sweet nothing's flowed from his mouth in a never ending stream, gentle praise and adoration he'd never give anyone else and had Naruto nearly mewling. And slowly but surely his body loosened up. Sasuke's fingers slid in and out with ease, so he finally added a third.
He was trying to be patient, truly he was, but at some point he'd started rutting against the cleft of Naruto's ass while fingering him open. That was only doing so much for him.
"Look at me, idiot."
Sasuke stilled his fingers inside Naruto then removed them completely when he didn't respond. Still hiding his face behind his forearm while his other hand clawed at the ground feverishly. Sasuke wouldn't let him hide forever. He gently pulled Naruto's arm away from his flushed face and brought his wrist to his nose. Naruto's petrichor had softened considerably letting the smallest hints of ripe fruit shine through.
It was mouth watering. He drug his tongue over the scent gland there before planting a quick peck over the skin.
"Ready?" he asked.
Naruto cracked his eyes open and stared at the wet stripe left behind from his tongue. "Don't hold back," he whispered breathily with a shimmer to his eyes that usually meant he was dead set on something.
"Ok."
Sasuke gave him a quick nod back and wrapped his hand around his aching cock. His breath wheezed out of him just from the relief of his hand alone. Honestly, he was surprised he'd lasted this long without just pouncing on Naruto and burying himself balls deep. Pre had already been pearling at his tip, some of it was smeared on Naruto's ass already while the rest of it was used to lube himself up. His hand pumped his cock a few times then he lined himself up.
Naruto's breath hitched at the initial press then stopped all at once when Sasuke finally thrust forward.
The warmth of Naruto was all consuming. Sasuke only meant to push in maybe an inch or two at first and let Naruto adjust from there, but his body had a mind of it's own and he bottomed out in one go. A slew of undignified sounds left his mouth as he struggled to get his breathing back under control. Meanwhile Naruto was whining loudly on every exhale that passed his lips. Their voices blended together in an obscene melody along with their already intertwined scents.
Naruto's hands clung to his back and his nails slowly dug in. He figured he kind of deserved that.
"You're so tight," Sasuke said, his voice was pinched and small with his effort to not move. It felt like Naruto might take his damn dick off.
"Fuck- it's too much," Naruto whimpered and shuddered under him. His eyes were glassy and a stray tear escaped, like a falling star as it caught the fading daylight to drip off his lashes.
"Sorry," he grit out, more for Naruto's sake because he wasn't all that apologetic when it felt like he was getting a glimpse of heaven right now. His sharingan fizzled out but he tried to will it back just to keep the image of Naruto's tear streaked face imprinted in his mind forever while speared on his cock.
Naruto's claws sunk into him a little more, "liar," he huffed weakly. Sasuke snickered.
The pain was secondary by a long shot to the bliss drowning Sasuke. If anything it was a nice addition. He was scared if he started moving he might finish in a few measly seconds. Naruto didn't need to know that though, for all he knew Sasuke was trying to be a gentleman and give him a moment. How wrong he'd be.
His arms locked around Naruto's waist and he pressed his nose into his hair. It was just the layers of their skin keeping them separate now, and Sasuke had never wished more than to peel those layers back to mesh entirely with the body wrapped around him. So there was nothing separating their essence. Not even the hand of some alien goddess would be able pull him off Naruto right now.
They laid like that for a few minutes as the last of the dying sunlight succumbed to the horizon. Sasuke stock still, fighting for his life, and Naruto tearing his back to ribbons. But eventually Naruto moved under him. Just a shy shift of his hips at first but quickly growing into urgent rolls of his hips.
"Come on," he urged in a breathy voice tinged with a little bit of bite. Naruto's scent sweetened and deepened even more while he nuzzled his face against Sasuke's. Quite the contrast to his nails mutilating Sasuke's back.
He didn't need told twice though. Sasuke leaned back a fraction and his eyes snapped to Naruto's own. Then his hips were drawing back, the drag filthy with how good it felt, only to snap forward quickly.
Their groans blend together in harmony again and Naruto's body slid a few inches along the ground with the force Sasuke rammed into him.
"God- again! Sasuke!" Naruto cursed loudly and arched his body to take Sasuke deeper. Demanding when he didn't have to. Sasuke rocked into him again and again, setting a deep but fast pace like it was second nature.
He lost himself in the warmth of Naruto, the way all his limbs were wrapped tightly around him consumed his last rational thoughts. Sasuke tried to bury his face impossibly further into Naruto's neck and groaned. His hips slammed into Naruto's over and over but still he wanted.
He wants.
Wants, wants, and wants.
Sasuke wanted to keep biting Naruto until their biology recognized they're a good match. He wanted to knot Naruto so good he somehow mated him. He wanted to dig his claws under Naruto's ribs and grasp his heart in his hands just so he could place it safely next his own so no one else could take it. Sasuke wanted it all so badly it hurt, a physical twinge in his trembling chest cavity. So fucking empty without Naruto.
His balls slapped against Naruto's ass with each deep plunge and whatever Naruto was babbling was nothing but pretty sound to his ears he was so gone. He could just barely make out his own name amidst the rushing in his ears.
"Ah! Please- Sasuke! Please," Naruto's rough growls finally pierced his reverie.
Sasuke begrudgingly pulled himself from the delicious crook of Naruto's neck to look down at him and his thrusts stuttered out of rhythm for a moment and he moaned raggedly. Naruto was a wreck. Tear tracks cutting through the bit of dirt and blood still dried to his face and lips bitten to oblivion. Puffy and pink, parted around his blissed out cries. But it's his cock pressed between them that catches his attention and has his hips jumping.
Naruto's knot was swelling already, his poor cock flushed red and weeping between their bodies and smearing pre on their skin.
All the desperate growling and babbling made sense then.
Sasuke quickly untangled one of his arms from around Naruto and forced his hand between them to take Naruto's cock in his grasp. The thickness at his base pulsed under his fingers and Naruto practically screamed as he tightened his grip.
"Fucking yes! Yes! Shit, Sasuke, more," Naruto writhed under him. Head thrown back and neck bared.
He couldn't help himself and bit Naruto again. His teeth sunk into his shoulder and he tightened his hand around Naruto even more. Their bodies joining together and their scents mixing was lewd. The slap of skin on skin as he rut into him and the heady combination of alpha pheromones only pushed him closer to the edge. It was so damn good. Sasuke's eyes slipped shut as a pleasant warmth spread through his gut and he felt the first tells of his knot catching on Naruto's rim.
Naruto's body immediately clamped down on his cock like it was trying to suck him in, and it only made it harder to keep fucking into him as his knot filled out more. The pleasure was electrical as it washed over his raw nerves each time he just barely slid in and out of Naruto. A broken whine tumbled out him with his jaw clamped open around Naruto's shoulder. The far off cliff that was his climax was rapidly approaching and he needed to drag Naruto over it with him.
He fisted his hand around Naruto's cock in a borderline death grip to give him that tight channel to rock into, and if Naruto had any complaints he couldn't voice them over the growing crescendo of his moans. He finally detached himself from Sasuke's back so he could throw his arms around his neck. Keeping them close, as if Sasuke wanted to be anywhere else.
Sasuke eased his teeth out of Naruto's shoulder and pressed an open mouthed kiss to the wound. "I'm gonna take you somewhere far from here. We'll settle down or travel, whatever you want," he promised, punctuating every couple words with a hard thrust. He should've kept his trap shut cause now that he'd started talking it was like the floodgate was open. Every dumb desire came rushing out, making up for years worth of silence. "It'll be hard cause we'll fight, but we like to fight so it'll be alright. And I'll take care of you- love you, like you deserve. Just us. No one else."
Naruto gaped up at him with only choked whimpers coming out of his parted lips, too caught up in the feeling to even respond. Their foreheads gently rested together and Naruto's chest rose and fell in quick succession, uneven and ragged breaths puffed against Sasuke's lips like humid dew. He was close too.
He grit his teeth and bullied his cock in and out of Naruto's hole a few more times before it couldn't be pulled back out. Effectively locking them together.
The subsequent orgasm that washed over Sasuke was so intense his sight whited out. He had no idea what depraved sounds left his mouth in the heat of the moment and he didn't care. Everything was so hot and tight. Maybe he passed out, maybe his eyes simply rolled all the way back into his eye sockets. But spurt after spurt of his spend filled Naruto with each weak twitch of his hips.
"Naruto," he grumbled once his tongue didn't feel like lead in his mouth. He peeled his eyes open and found him as equally lost to the sensations. Looking downright angelic in the dim moonlight just barely caressing them through the clouds, glowing softly and panting as he came down from the high.
He went to adjust their position to something more comfortable and Naruto seized up with a weak growl.
"Don't," he hissed as he shot his hand down to grab Sasuke's wrist like a shackle. Sasuke looked down and hummed. There were ropes of come painting both of their abdomens and chests, and Naruto's knot was swollen. He still wanted the tight pressure of his hand around him.
Sasuke could be mean and let him uselessly knot the sparse space between their bodies… That'd be kind of cruel. Maybe another time.
"I've got you," he rolled his eyes with far too much fondness and gave Naruto a reassuring squeeze.
"Oh f-" Naruto's eyes fluttered and another small spurt of come shot out of his spent cock.
He laughed quietly without even realizing it. When was the last time he'd ever felt like this? So content and happy? A pleasant weariness had taken hold of ever fiber in his muscles and his scent had mellowed from its usual raging inferno to something calmer. It was quite foreign.
Naruto rumbled beneath him at the change and Sasuke tiredly purred back.
It was a miracle no one had stumbled upon them yet. Really he'd expected Sakura or maybe even Kakashi to come check on them eventually. They might be on their way now, or not. All the more reason to be on the move as soon as possible.
But it couldn't hurt to linger here, he felt so lazy after all. He deserved some rest, both of them did. With the hand not gripping Naruto's cock he carefully rested his palm against Naruto's cheek. Something in him wanted to hesitate but he pushed past it.
Naruto's cheek was warm albeit a bit dirty after everything, but he didn't care. He stroked his thumb slowly over the whiskers he adored but was never allowed to touch before, only in his dreams. Naruto leaned into the gentle caress like a pleased cat and sighed. His own hands apologetically soothed over Sasuke's torn up back.
After a long couple minutes Naruto's voice broke the quite song of the night. "Did you mean all that?"
"Yeah," Sasuke answered, not needing an explanation about what he was talking about.
Naruto's eyes opened and the deep blue of them gazed at him wholeheartedly. "I… want all that too. It's just- leaving, Sasuke, it's hard," he whispered like it scared him to say such a thing. Like he wasn't allowed to even admit it.
"I know."
...
"I think I've always felt that, it just... scares me. The intensity of it," Naruto said in a small voice.
Sasuke hummed back in understanding. There was so much more out there to see. Things that weren't rotted to the core like the village raising child soldiers to handle their problems. Even if that's all Naruto's known his entire life and it was the 'safer' road, he deserved better. That wretched place deserved all the negative feelings Naruto might feel for it, be it hate or resentment. It'd probably do Naruto some good to genuinely feel everything he'd shoved down to keep going over the years.
They had all the time in the world to do that now.
"That's alright," Sasuke whispered.
A small but sweet grin curled Naruto's lips and they were silent from there. The soft buzz of cicadas and the distant rustle of leaves lulled Naruto into a light doze and Sasuke was content to watch. Mapping his features intently with care. After half an hour he finally felt Naruto's knot start to shrink in his grasp so he gradually let go of it. Sasuke's knot wasn't far behind and he reluctantly pulled out of Naruto, watching with mild fascination as a little of his come leaked from Naruto's puffy hole. If he wasn't bone tired he'd fuck Naruto again, inspired by that sight alone. But he could only flop back down on top of him.
Naruto huffed softly in his drowsy state and curled around him, probably trying to say something but it came out as nothing intelligible. It was cute. Sasuke carefully rolled them so they were both on their sides facing each other and their bodies slotted together. Naked and twined perfectly but heavy like they'd sink into the very earth. It sure felt like Sasuke could lay here forever and let the elements take him. Perhaps his body alongside Naruto's would make nice fertilizer for some wild flowers when this area recovered from their explosive fight.
Yeah, laying here for a bit with Naruto sounded wonderful. He'd collect their clothes and get them dressed later, then carry Naruto off to their future. Unknown and limitless.
His arms wrapped snugly around Naruto and he fell asleep quicker than ever in his entire life.
