Photomanipulation:. Chapter 4

~Last Time~
"...my brother, Naruto. My brother." Sasuke swallowed the lump in his throat and continued. "He called your name while you were in there. He's here." Sasuke shivered briefly. " My brother is a psychopath Naruto. He kills people. People like you."

----
Is he going nuts or something? "I-I didn't hear anything..." Naruto stated plainly. There's no way that his brother is... "U-uh, lets go back to your room, huh...?" he asked, standing up and tugging on the Uchiha's arm to make him stand up as well. "Let's just sit down on your nice comfy bed and take a breather, okay?"
The model nodded and carefully stood up, with Naruto's help, and the two walked into his room. Sasuke slowly sat down on his bed, eyes stinging as memories rushed back to him. He involuntarily layed down and tossed and turned, remembering his family and everything about them.
Naruto clasped Sasuke's working hand with both of his hands, as he took a seat on the dark bed. "Sasuke, calm down... and please, talk to me. Tell me what's going on!" he pleaded. "Please. I want to help." Coming here wasn't such a good idea...
He squeezed Naruto's hands and stopped moving, staring blankly at the ceiling. the Uchiha opened his mouth, but for awhile, nothing was said. Then he let it out. "My family used to be happy, we all lived together and loved each other. But then, when I found a job as a child model, My parents started to drift away from me. They got greedy, and just wanted me for the money. My brother, Itachi would always stick by my side though, and he would teach me things about the world. Then one night, there was a thunderstorm. I used to be very afraid of them, so I went into his room so he could comfort me. He had acted differently that night, and instead of comforting me, I was raped. Then he left that night and in the morning I found my parents gone and all of my neighbors dead. My parents had lied and said they were on vacation. A vacation they never came home from. Then, I hadn't heard from Itachi til now." Sasuke's voice caught and he stopped, still shaking.
Naruto stayed silent, not really knowing how to respond. Raped? By his psycho brother? That's pretty intense... His expression was in slight shock. He squeezed Sasuke's hand tightly. "I... I see..." he looked down at the sheets, not making contact with Sasuke. "I'm... I'm really sorry..." The hand that was holding his hand went to Sasuke's cheek, cupping it slightly. "I'm so sorry, Sasuke... I-I had no idea...Is there anything I can do for you?...t-to make you feel better?"
Sasuke's brain swished around, not exactly being able to think. He made eye contact with Naruto, his face still void of any definate emotion. "I....I dont know. It's really okay. I dont need you to do anything."
"I know I don't NEED to do anything, but trust me, I WANT to. I hate seeing you like this..." Sasuke was very stubborn. "Maybe we should head back to my place, ne?"
Sasuke nodded and sat up, remembering that his arm was still injured. He looked down at it solemnly and stood up, grabbing the bag full of his clothes and looking over to the one still laying on the ground, full of his belongings. "Could you carry that...?"
Naruto nodded. "Sure," he murmured, picking up the fallen cloth. "Anything else you need?"
"No...that's okay." He moved out of his room, not even hesitating to walk down the hallway away from Itachi's room. Then, as soon as he was to walk out the door, the phone rang. Sasuke swore under his breath and picked up the phone. "Hello?" Their conversation was hushed, save one part. "WHAT?! Y-You can't!!"
Naruto blinked. What was that reaction about? "Sasuke? What's up?" he asked worriedly. Don't tell me something ELSE is going wrong! "What's going on?"
The discourse got quieter and quieter, until Sasuke hung up the phone. He stood still, not turning around to face Naruto. "That was my mother. She found about my job." A pause. "And she's selling this house."
"Wh-what?" the blond staggered. "Are you serious?" His hand had found a way to the Uchiha's shoulder. "Wh-what are we gonna do?"
"Dammit!!" In a rage, Sasuke smashed a priceless glass vase that stood on the table the phone sat on, the glass smashing into pieces and cutting into his hand. My life is over...he thought, watching the blood seep from his hand.
Naruto jumped backas a reaction, his eyes widening. I-I guess he's not having a good day... "Uh... um..." the blonde looked at the floor. He didn't really know what to say. "It's not... all that bad...?" he tried hopelessly.
"Just forget it Naruto, you can go home. This doesn't concern you, and you'll just get in the way." Sasuke babbled endlessly,  becoming content in watching his scarlet blood drip to the floor.
Naruto tensed easily as he watched Sasuke's blood drip, hurt by Sasuke's words. He gave a sad expression. "Well, al-alright Sasuke, if that's what you really want, to be alone..." His heart began to beat rapidly. He walked closer to Sasuke and pulled Sasuke to his chest, crushing his lips on Sasuke's roughly, sucking on Sasuke's bottom lip. After a few seconds, he then pulled away momentarily. "E-even though I tried to put this kind of thing with you and me in the back of my mind..." he panted, his hot breath ghosting over Sasuke's lips. "well, let's just say it didn't work... I guess I'll see you..." he said, letting go of the Uchiha, his somber expression still plastered on his face.
"n-no Naruto! I dont...you dont...Dont leave me..." Sasuke's voice was full of need. "I didn't mean it....dont leave me alone." He shook with worry and put the bleeding hand to his lips.
Naruto was a bit shocked at Sasuke's reaction. "Sasuke..." Naruto had never done so many bold things before. Was his body moving on its own or something? He grabbed the bleeding hand and licked it shyly, attempting to maybe clean it. "I'm not going to leave you," he said with a final lick.
Sasuke's breath caught and he refrained himself from grabbing Naruto and making out with him right there, dispite wounds of all types. He squeezed Naruto's hand. "..naruto.." he breathed.
Naruto squeezed back and blushed. "I guess you'll have to be spending all of your time at my place, then... unless there's somewhere else you'd rather stay at..."
Sasuke shook his head profusely. "no...I'd never want to stay anywhere else." He gently pressed his lips against the other's slowly licking his mouth and tasting his own blood. oh naruto...
Naruto relaxed and leaned into the kiss he recieved from the Uchiha, kissing and licking at Sasuke's lips and tongue. He snaked one arm around Sasuke's neck, and the other one in Sasuke's soft hair. Sasuke...
He pulled back, taking a gulp of air then kissing Naruto again, wrapping his arms around the other's waist and pushing deeper into his throat. He then pulled back slowly, opening his dark eyes and smiling at the blonde.
Naruto blushed and smiled back shyly. He then dipped in to kiss Sasuke again, but more innocently, and then pulled away once more, grinning. "So I get it's my place then?"
"Please." Sasuke picked up his stuff and moved towards the door, but not before grabbing a huge stack of money that had been hidden from him. "This is for dire emergency purposes." As he stepped out the door, the model stopped. "Hold this." He instructed Naruto and handed him his bags. Sasuke the went into a closet and pulled out a hammer. "I'm not going out without a bang." Sasuke then smashed most of the stuff in the room, grinning and laughing through it.
Naruto sweatdropped. He's insane. "And... dire emergency purposes?! Lookit all that money! What kind of emergency will require all this?" he asked, struggling with all the weight of the bags. "Hurry it up, Sasuke! This is heavy!"
"Oh dont get your panties in a bunch, sweetheart. I'm almost done." Sasuke put the hammer down and threw a porcelain vase into the wall, smashing it into many pieces. Then he pushed the large couch into the table, denting both items. "for the finale.." He threw the hammer into the ceiling, it coming back down and bringing most of the ceiling with it. "There." Sasuke picked up the bags and walked out.
Naruto pretended to have not just witnessed that. "Uh, alright then, let's go," he said, gripping Sasuke's uninjured hand and smiling warmly. I'm not sure exactly how things are with me and Sasuke, but... I-I think I like things this way... he thought to himself.
Sasuke burst into his new home, his iPod on the highest volume, blasting tunes from groups like Morningwood and The Killers. Something about moving in put him in a great mood. He dropped his stuff and danced around the room like a newlywed girl. "Thank god I'm out of that house!"
Naruto laughed as he put the rest of the stuff in the corner and sat down on the couch, watching the model dance stupidly about the room. He kind of liked this side of Sasuke.
Noticing the blonde watching him, he stopped and stared at him. "What?" Sasuke asked bewildered, his music still all the way up.
Naruto shook his head, smiling. "Nothing. You're just kind of..funny."
Sasuke then dove onto the couch, looking over at Naruto with an evil grin. "Hey Naruto, I have a joke for you. It goes like this: A long time ago, 100 gays were arrested for molestation. just a bit ago, all 100 escaped the jail. The police found 99 of them. One of them is still missing~" Sasuke breathed, running his hand up the inside of Naruto's leg seductivly.
Naruto cocked his head to the side innocently. "Huh? What kind of joke is that?" he asked, densely. "Who was it?" The blonde really was an air-head sometimes, as he disreguarded Sasuke's more-than-friendly physical advances towards him. Maybe it was just part of the joke, Naruto figured, but it was enough to make him blush more than slightly.
Sasuke sighed heavily and removed his hand. "You dont get it..nevermind." Sasuke sat up straight and turned off his iPod, tossing it to the side. "what now Naruto?" He had seemed to calm down now.
"Hey, are you saying I'm stupid?" Naruto pouted. "Now you have to tell me!" He sat up as well, eyeing the Uchiha. Naruto's curiosity always got the best of him.
Sasuke looked over at Naruto with a skeptical look. "You asked for it, dobe." He quickly connected his lips with Naruto's, pushing him down into the couch and straddling him, then pulling just and inch away. "I'm the last one." He smiled, then kissing the boy again, hands running through the other's hair.
Naruto heart pounded loudly in his chest as he felt the familiar warmth of Sasuke's lips on his. He kissed back softly, not really minding letting the Uchiha have more control. "Sasuke..." he whispered against the others lips.   
Sasuke smiled and moved against Naruto, creating warm friction between the two. He moaned and leaned to one side of Naruto, it ending up as the wrong side as he fell off the couch and onto the hard floor. Reflexes told Sasuke to move his injured arm closer to his body so he wouldn't land on it. Luckily, he turned over and landed on his back, facing up.
Naruto, being as clingy as he was, held onto Sasuke the whole time, landing on top of him. The kiss was temporarily interrupted from the fall. Naruto was extremely hyperaware at this point about the warmth radiating from Sasuke's well-toned chest beneath his hands. "You..." he breathed, "are such a klutz," he stated, before claiming the Uchiha's lips one more, running his tongue across them.
The model opened his mouth for the other, but not before moaning, " nnn shut up dobe.." He pulled Naruto onto him deeper, grabbing his ass and laughing into their kiss.
Naruto fully meshed his mouth with Sasuke's as he slid his tongue into the Uchiha's mouth awkwardly and shyly, a little confused at being in more control. He massaged Sasuke's tongue as he moaned deeply from the way Sasuke had touched him.
Sasuke waited to see what Naruto would do, carefully resting his arms on said boy's back. "mmmm..your turn dobe.." He whispered against Naruto's mouth. let's see what he's made of...
Naruto continued to ravage Sasuke's mouth for a few more seconds, until he planted a last kiss chastly on his lips and pulled away from breath, panting. He traced Sasuke's cheeks lightly with his right hand. "Why do we do this, Sasuke?" he asked. He didn't even understand his own feelings anymore; the Uchiha had a knack for stirring them up in a confusing mess.
Sasuke hummed quietly then leaning up to nip at Naruto's ear. "...why?" He thought a bit licking Naruto's cheek. "I dont know why you do it, but I do it because..." He hesitiated, pulling back.
Naruto kissed Sasuke's cheek. "Tell me," he pleaded. He really, really, wanted to know. And why did he do it himself? He really, really wanted to know that as well.
"Naruto...I..you...you just..." Sasuke wasn't sure what to say. He couldn't just spill all of his thoughts like he had before. "I like you Naruto. I've never had any friends before....and I like you a lot." Sasuke managed to shut his pride away long enough to admit that.
Naruto blushed genuinely at Sasuke's forwardness. "O-oh," he stuttered. He really didn't know what to say. "I..." he gulped, "I like you a lot too..." he said quietly.
Sasuke nodded, content to just have Naruto lay on top on him. He leaned all the way back and rested his head on the floor, then closing his eyes. The Uchiha took in slow, deep breaths and stayed silent, his ipod laying on the ground, playing a song by James Blunt. He didn't care to turn it off or move it. Sasuke just stayed where he was.
Naruto laid his head on Sasuke's warm chest, hearing the other boy's heartbeat. He reasted his arms curtly around Sasuke's sides. And Naruto could admit, he enjoyed the closeness of it all.
