Work Text:
Naruto sat up abruptly as he woke from another intense dream. He takes a minute to catch his breath, running his hand through his damp hair and trying to calm his beating heart.
When he deems himself functional he stands up and opens his bedroom window, standing in front of it for a moment to let the cool air hit his warm skin. It does its job too well as his clothes are practically soaked and the wind on his sweaty shirt causes him to shiver.
Naruto moves away from the window and peels his shirt off. His body is covered in sweat, dripping down his back and chest. Even though he's wearing shorts his legs still feel sweaty too. He looks over to his bed and sure enough there's a wet spot.
He winces and groans. Looks like it's going to be particularly bad this time. Granted, he tells himself this every time this time of the month happens, with his condition worsening every time.
Naruto decides to just strip and head to the bathroom for a shower. He's far too awake now to go back to sleep, and maybe by the time he gets out his bed will be dry.
When he passes by the mirror he takes a brief glance only to do a double take when he notices his eyes are red, his pupils slitted. The whisker marks on his cheeks are more prominent and his canines have turned into fangs. He looks at his hands and, unsurprisingly, he's grown claws.
Dammit. Not again.
Naruto sighs and goes to the shower stall to turn the water on, checking the water until it's at the desired temperature, and stands underneath the spray. Even though he knows it's only temporary, the water manages to soothe his heated skin.
He closes his eyes and images of his dream flash before him. Heat, the feeling of a deep connection, pale skin and dark tresses, heavy breathing, the feeling of satisfaction, completion.
Naruto shakes the images away and lifts his head to let the water hit his face directly. At first the dreams had been incoherent. They were nothing more than flashes of something in his mind before waking up only to be forgotten. But over the past two years they've been becoming more and more clear, with Naruto able to piece the images of his mind together little by little.
He remembers asking Kurama about it, pinpointing when exactly the dreams had started, and being nearly horrified by the explanation.
After that, he began to understand what exactly the dreams were telling him and he's been (poorly) doing everything he can to ignore them ever since. He doesn't want to accept what his dreams are telling him, what his body is telling him, even if they're supposedly telling him what he needs to do, how to make himself feel better.
It's stupid. He knows it is. But the damn dreams won't stop. They haven't for two years.
Naruto frantically shakes his head and turns the water off. The shower only served to make him think much more than he wanted to. He grabs a towel and dries off before heading back to his room. Hopefully he can fall back to sleep peacefully, though he honestly doubts it.
~~~
Naruto tries to pay attention to Kakashi-Sensei as he speaks to him about his report. Naruto had just gotten back from a mission the night before and since he came back super late he decided to just go home and give his report in the morning. If he's being honest though, he also wanted to go straight home afterwards since he could feel the beginnings of his…condition.
As much as he wants to focus on literally anything else right now all he can think about is how ansty and pent up he feels. He thinks about how it would feel to just bury himself in someone and just finally relieve himself of this heat. Maybe after this he should just go home and deal with it himself. It won't make it go away but it'll calm him down for a while.
"Naruto." Said Jinchuriki snaps out of his reverie and looks back over at his teacher. Well, Hokage now. Naruto becomes flustered at being caught daydreaming, especially with the look Kakashi-Sensei gives him.
"Honestly, Naruto. You would think after all these years that you'd finally learn to focus and listen when you're being spoken to." Shikamaru says from Kakashi's side. He sighs and shakes his head.
"Uh, yeah. Sorry." Naruto scratches the back of his neck and smiles apologetically. "Uh, what were you saying?"
Kakashi continues to watch Naruto and the blond can already see the suspicion in his eyes. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah. I'm fine! Why wouldn't I be?" Naruto answers but he answers too quickly. Kakashi just gives him a look.
"Shikamaru, do you mind sending these documents over for me, please?" Kakashi hands his assistant a small pile of papers.
Shikamaru just sighs, seeing the move for what it truly is. "Sure." He grabs them and heads for the door and before he walks out he says over his shoulder. "I'll leave you two alone for a bit."
The sound of the door closing makes Naruto flinch and he looks over at his former teacher. Kakashi sighs quietly. "Is it happening again?"
Naruto bites his lip nervously but eventually nods his head. Kakashi-Sensei is the only one who knows what goes on with him every month. The only reason being that Naruto had nearly lost control over himself once and the Hokage happened to be around. He had no choice but to be honest with him after that.
Kakashi hums. "Have you been taking care of it?"
Naruto doesn't answer and just looks away. Kakashi sighs. "We've talked about this."
"I know." Naruto says. "And I told you how I feel about it."
"Naruto, I know this isn't exactly the most favorable option to you. But considering this is a side effect of being a fully realized Jinchuriki, and you understand the responsibilities that come with that, you should do what you can to prevent the worst possible outcome." Kakashi explains.
Naruto knows he's right. Really, he does. He knows he should take it upon himself to just deal with the situation in the safest way possible. But, just the idea of it makes his stomach churn. Even if it would help him feel better he can't bring himself to go about it this way. Kurama has argued with him about it on more than one occasion but Naruto has always been too stubborn for his own good.
Naruto says as much. "I know I should, but I just can't stand the thought of using someone just to satisfy myself. I've never been that type of person. Hell, I've always hated that type of person."
"I know." Kakashi says softly, understanding. "But as you continue to ignore your needs your instincts become dangerous and difficult to control. You said to me once that Kurama told you that if you continue to keep ignoring this it'll only continue to get worse, right?"
Naruto winces but nods.
"Then you should do what you can to take care of yourself." Kakashi laces his hands together on his desk, leaning towards the blond. "It doesn't have to be just anybody. Maybe we could ask–"
But Naruto cuts him off. "No! No, I don't want it to be anyone I know. Besides, that means having to tell them and…" Naruto trails off and runs his hand through his hair.
Kakashi nods. "Then, we'll find you someone you don't."
"Kakashi-Sensei–"
"Naruto." Kakashi is stern. "As Hokage, I can't allow any potential harm to come to the village. You remember what happened when I found out about your condition."
Naruto winces at the memory. How could he forget? He wished he could.
Kakashi sighs. "But as your former teacher, I just want you to take care of yourself. The longer this goes on the worse it gets for you. I don't want you to end up doing something you'll regret."
Naruto's shoulders sag. Well, he can't really argue with that, now can he? He nods, resigned. Kakashi stands up and walks around his desk until he's standing in front of Naruto. He places a hand on his shoulder and the blond flinches at the touch.
"As strange as this may seem, it is for your own good, Naruto." The blond just nods, looking down at the floor.
Kakashi removes his hand. "Let me make arrangements and find someone for you. We won't even give them the full details. We'll keep everything anonymous for you, ok?"
Naruto can do nothing but comply.
~~~
Later that evening, Naruto returns home and flops onto his bed. He feels exhausted and a wave of shame washes over him as he thinks about what he just did.
He feels gross, disgusted with himself and, oddly, surprisingly satisfied.
Self-loathing pangs in his gut at the thought. Memories of the girl, whose name he doesn't even know, underneath him appear in his mind and he hates himself for the wave of lust that hits him. He thinks back to walking into the bedroom at the inn, the girl naked and blindfolded and ready for him and how he just gave in to his instincts and didn't waste any time, all but attacking her.
Naruto hates this. He hates that he slept with some random girl and used her for his own means. He hates that he's probably going to have to do this again.
He hates that he enjoyed it.
Naruto buries his head in his pillow and tries not to think about it. He feels his eyes burn as he squeezes them shut and even though he knows he did the right thing he can't help but feel like it was… wrong.
The relief he feels from his earlier tryst only seems to be temporary though. He can already feel the coals of his heat beginning to burn again. It's just a warmth in his gut at the moment but he knows it's only a matter of time before the flames roar again.
He'll admit that it's better than the relief he feels when he uses his hand, but it still doesn't seem to be enough.
Naruto sighs and rolls onto his back, staring at the ceiling. Is this really gonna be his life now? One where he sleeps with random people just for a moment of peace of mind? He never thought his life would be like this, not even in his wildest dreams.
He takes a deep breath and is hit with the smell of sweat and sex still clinging to him. He even catches the scent of the woman he was with still on him too and it makes him feel a hint of nausea.
Frustrated, Naruto stands up and strips. He needs a shower. He needs to wash the events and the smells of the day away.
~~~
Naruto is back in the Hokage's office and he feels awkward. Kakashi-Sensei called him over to check on him. He sent Shikamaru away again to leave them alone to talk.
Naruto shifts his weight from one foot to the other as he hears the door close behind him.
Kakashi looks at him. "So. How did things go yesterday? Feeling any better?"
Naruto chews on his bottom lip. "Uh, I guess so. It did help a little honestly."
Kakashi raises a brow. "Only a little?"
Naruto shrugs. "I mean, it worked but it just feels like…it wasn't enough." He furrows his brows.
Kakashi hums. "Perhaps just once isn't enough then. It seems it would be best to tend to your needs throughout the week until your heat passes."
Naruto winces at the implication. "So you mean…"
Kakashi nods. "I'll find you someone new."
And thus this becomes Naruto's life for the next couple of months.
~~~
It's been a few months since he's been to the village. He spent much of his time passing through the outskirts of many different villages making sure all was calm and peaceful.
Sasuke feels a hint of nostalgia wash over him as he passes through the gates. It hits him every time he comes back along with the memories of him leaving this place. And the memories of why he came back.
The usual hustle and bustle moves about around him as people walk past him and go about their business. He doesn't mind it really. He always hated all the unwanted attention he would receive as a kid. It was either for his looks or just simply being the last survivor of the Uchiha.
Nowadays though people mostly ignore him and he rather likes just being another member of the crowd. He knows part of the reason is because of his past and the other reason is because of the second chance he was given. But most importantly, who gave him his second chance.
Sasuke feels a sense of warmth at the thought. It helps being best friends with not only the hero of the village but the hero of the world. If Naruto knew his thoughts he would argue that Sasuke and all of Team 7 are just as much the heroes of the world as he is. He chuckles.
Stupid, humble idiot.
Sasuke lets his eyes drift towards the path that leads to the apartment complex. He wonders what the idiot is doing? He's surprised he isn't already tackling him to the ground and asking to tell him everything he's been up to.
First, he needs to go to Hokage Tower and give his report. Afterwards, he'll check on the idiot and see how he's doing.
~~~
"I see." Kakashi says. "Well, good to hear everything's in order. I'm sure it's boring out there but it's good to hear you haven't come across any trouble."
Sasuke shrugs. "It's better this way." He would rather live in a world where Naruto continues to prove him right, after all.
Kakashi nods. "You're right." A beat of silence. "How's the arm?"
Sasuke lifts up his left arm and clenches it into a fist. He got his prosthetic implanted a year ago, mainly at Naruto's incessant insistence. He refuses to admit how much of a good idea it was though.
"It's good." Is all the answer Sasuke gives.
Kakashi remains silent for a moment and when he gives his former student a look Sasuke already knows where this is going. He internally groans and braces himself.
"Going to see Naruto?" Kakashi asks and his eyes smile.
There it is.
Sasuke tries not to roll his eyes. "Don't I always? The idiot would have a fit if I came back and didn't visit him."
Kakashi doesn't buy the excuse though. When does he ever? "I see you still haven't told him." He says, completely ignoring Sasuke's words.
He sighs. "We've talked about this."
"So we have." Kakashi leans back against his chair. "And I distinctly remember advising you not to hold it all in. If you don't tell Naruto how you feel now, you never will."
Sasuke suddenly becomes interested in the floor. "I can live with that."
"Can you?" Kakashi challenges. Sasuke glances back up but doesn't say anything.
Suddenly a glint seems to appear in the Hokage's eyes but it's gone before Sasuke can decipher it. "Would you be able to move on if Naruto did?"
Sasuke's head jerks up.
"Would you really be ok with the way things are knowing that Naruto is with someone else?" Kakashi continues.
Sasuke squints his eyes at him. "What are you playing at?"
Kakashi shrugs. "Nothing." He places his elbows against his desk and rests his chin on his interlocked hands. "Anyway, it would probably be best if you didn't see Naruto for a while."
Sasuke raises a brow. "Excuse me?"
"It's not what you think." Kakashi plactates, catching onto his former student's train of thought.
"I just mean that Naruto isn't in the…best condition at the moment. It would be best if he didn't have any visitors right now." He explains.
"Is he ok?" Sasuke asks, trying to push his worry down.
Kakashi raises a hand to calm his internal thoughts. "He's…fine. He just shouldn't see anyone right now."
Now Sasuke is confused. "He's fine but I shouldn't go see him. That doesn't make any sense, Kakashi."
"I know." He says.
Sasuke furrows his brows. "Care to explain what's going on with him?"
But Kakashi gives him a reluctant look. "I can't tell you that. Just know that everything is fine."
Sasuke doesn't accept that as an answer. He can't. He turns on his heel and walks out of the office.
He misses the way his former teacher's eyes sparkle with mischief.
This should be interesting.
~~~
It's hot. It's hot and humid and he's sweating so much and he feels a coil in his stomach that feels like it's on the verge of breaking.
But it's not enough. No matter what, it's never enough.
Naruto knew this wouldn't work but if he tells Kakashi-Sensei that his heat is bad again then he'd just set him up with some random girl again and he just can't do it anymore. It doesn't work. No matter how much relief he feels afterwards it just isn't enough. He was lucky that he managed to convince his former teacher to let him wait another day and hold off on finding him a partner. But he knew he could only stall for so long.
He thought that if he handled it himself then he would calm down enough and then he could convince Kakashi-Sensei that he didn't need to find him anyone. But at the rate he's currently going, that doesn't seem like it'll work out.
Naruto tightens his grip around himself and thrusts into his fist. The haste of his movements causes him to move against the fingers inside him and he whines.
Lately, he's found that this helps. One particular night after another hook up he was overcome with the usual wave of lust. He decided to take care of it but as usual it wasn't enough.
It never is.
As he fucked his fist that night, running his free hand across his heated body, he was hit by a sudden need.
I need to be full.
The thought shocked him for a second but the more he thought about it the more he was tempted by the idea. So he proceeded to suck his fingers into his mouth, getting them nice and wet, and lowered them down to his hole.
Needless to say, it's been part of his routine ever since.
Naruto continues to move against his hands, thrusting into his fist and sinking onto his fingers. It's still not enough but it feels so good and, oh God, he's getting close. He pants and whines into the air, moaning shamelessly and lets the images of his dreams flood him to help him through.
He can see them instantly. Their bodies connected together, gliding against each other from the sweat. Dark hair, pale skin, heterochromic eyes. Smooth skin and a lean body. A voice with a deep and husky tone that sends shivers up his spine.
Naruto moans and he can feel the bliss on his tongue.
Knock Knock Knock
Naruto's eyes shoot open and he abruptly stops his movements. He waits another moment and, sure enough, the knocking starts again.
Shit.
He quickly gets up and scrambles to put some clothes on, throwing on a t-shirt and sweatpants. He stops by the bathroom to wash his hands and when he looks up into the mirror he notices that his eyes are red again.
Shit!
He collects water into his hands and pours it over his face, trying to calm himself as much as he can. He hears the knocking again, harder and more impatient this time but he waits until his eyes are back to their normal blue before he heads for the front door.
The knocking is loud and annoying as he walks down the hall.
"Alright, I'm coming!" Naruto hollers out.
He all but wrenches the door open, a scowl on his face, until he sees who it is.
"Naruto."
The blond has a look of shock on his face as he stares at Sasuke standing before him. The dark haired boy has an annoyed look on his face, probably from being kept waiting. Upon seeing Naruto's expression however he raises a brow. "Are you ok?"
Naruto shakes himself from his frozen state. "Uh, hey. Hey Sasuke. You just get back?"
Sasuke gives him an inquisitive look. "Yeah. I heard there's something going on with you. You ok?"
Naruto blanches. What? Why does he think that? Does he know? How could he know? There's no way he could know! The only person that knows is….
What did Kakashi-Sensei tell him?
"Why do you think there's something going on with me?" He asks, trying not to panic.
"Because I went to give my report to Kakashi and he told me something's wrong with you and not to come over." Sasuke explains.
Naruto feels a drop of sweat fall down the back of his neck. "And you still came over because…?"
Sasuke scowls. "I needed to see for myself. Besides, that man has a tendency to play mind games."
Naruto makes a confused face. "Why would he play mind games with you?"
Sasuke's eyes widen at the question but he immediately calms his features. "Nothing. Don't worry about it."
Ok. Well that's definitely something he'll have to ask about later.
Sasuke eyes the blond for a moment. "You seem ok to me."
Naruto shifts his weight on his feet and tries to look somewhat calm. "Uh, yeah. I'm ok. Sorry if Kakashi-Sensei worried you for no reason. I'm ok though, really."
Sasuke doesn't seem convinced and Naruto can't even blame him. "Alright then. You gonna let me in?"
Naruto begins to internally panic. "Uh, not right now. But maybe I can meet you later on? We could get lunch."
But of course it doesn't work and Sasuke only looks more suspicious. They both stand there for a moment, staring each other down, and Naruto is trying his hardest to ignore the effect those eyes have on him.
Sasuke glares at him. "Let me in, Naruto."
The blond stiffens. "What? But– It's fine Sasuke, really. Just, meet me at Ichiraku later on, ok?"
"Naruto."
"Please, Sasuke, just–"
But Sasuke shoves right past him and storms into the apartment. Naruto sighs, exasperated, and follows after him, closing the door behind him.
Sasuke is looking around every room, seeming to search for anything suspicious or out of place, but Naruto knows he won't find anything of the sort. Not really. Eventually he goes into the bedroom and looks around the room. The only thing he finds is the open window.
He turns around and looks at Naruto directly in the eye. "What are you hiding?"
"Nothing!" Naruto squeaks and he knows he only seems more guilty.
Sasuke sends him a look that could kill if it were anyone else. "Naruto."
"I'm being serious. I'm not– I'm not hiding anything." He says while looking down at the floor.
Sasuke steps up to his face. "I don't believe you."
Naruto sighs and runs his hands through his still damp hair. "I'm not! Not in the way you think anyway."
Sasuke only relaxes the smallest amount. "Ok. Then explain."
Naruto glances back up. "I can't."
"What?" Sasuke says through clenched teeth.
Naruto twiddles his fingers. "I can't. If I told you it would change everything."
Sasuke reels back. "Change everything? What the hell are you not telling me?"
"Just trust me, alright? Telling you would be too dangerous and–"
"Dangerous?"
"Yes!"
"Why are you hiding something this big from me?" Sasuke is raising his voice now.
"I have to, ok? Why can't you just let it go?" Naruto implores.
"Oh like you know anything about letting things go." Sasuke tells him.
Naruto flinches. He doesn't have a comeback for that. He's trying so hard to contain his instincts and ignore what they're telling him right now all while trying to appear normal. He knows it's not working.
Sasuke takes a deep breath. "Look, I'm not trying to take shots at you. I just thought that we promised each other we would tell each other everything. Especially after we aired out everything between us."
Naruto looks away as the guilt hits him. "I know."
"Then why can't you just tell me?" Sasuke asks softly. "Is it really that bad?"
"No!"
"Then what?" Sasuke gives him an intense look. "Don't you trust me?"
Naruto flinches. "You know I do."
"Then talk to me, dobe." And Naruto just can't resist the old nickname. He feels his insides melt and he resigns himself as he goes and sits on his bed.
Naruto sighs and looks up at his best friend. Sasuke is giving him an expectant look but he can also see the worry in his eyes. The blond takes a deep breath.
"Ok. Ok ok. Um. So, for the record, this only started happening a month after the war. After we made our promise." Naruto explains earnestly.
Sasuke just nods and waits for him to continue. Naruto sighs and tries to collect himself. "Ok, so, there's really no other way to say this, so I'm just gonna come right out and say it."
"Spit it out, usuratonkachi." Naruto looks up at him and he can see the amusement in Sasuke's eyes. It somehow gives him confidence.
"Well, I– I go into these heats." Naruto starts.
Sasuke raises a brow. "Heats?"
Naruto nods. "Yeah. And before you ask it's exactly what you think it means."
Sasuke seems confused for a moment until his eyes widen as the realization hits him. "So, wait, you mean like–"
"Yeah." Naruto replies gravelly and rubs his hands on his knees nervously.
Sasuke takes a minute to let the information sink in. Surprisingly, a hint of pink appears on his cheeks. "Oh. I see."
Naruto blushes and looks away. Sasuke clears his throat. "And…you said this started after the war?"
Naruto hums an affirmative and nods. "Does this have anything to do with you being a Jinchuriki?" Sasuke asks after a moment of deliberation.
Naruto quietly nods again. Sasuke's brows furrow, confused. "Then why didn't this happen sooner? Why now?"
Naruto scrunches his face. "Cause. I wasn't a "fully realized" Jinchuriki back then." Naruto adds air quotes for emphasis.
Sasuke hums as he thinks, trying to understand it all. "So you mean, once you and the Kyuubi started working together these heats started happening?"
Naruto hums affirmatively. "Something about a Tailed Beast and a Jinchuriki becoming one and sharing primal instincts? I don't know. I was too busy freaking out when Kurama explained it all to really pay attention."
Sasuke huffs a laugh through his nose. "Typical."
Naruto glares up at him but they both know there's no venom in it. "Fuck off."
"Hn." A moment of silence passes through them until a curious thought comes to the Uchiha. "How have you been handling it all?"
Naruto winces. "Uh. Not great. I was, um, mainly dealing with it on my own for a while until Kakashi-Sensei found out."
Sasuke mulls the information over. "That explains why he told me to stay away. So, how did he even find out? Clearly you've been making it a point to keep this a secret."
Naruto groans. "I, uh, had an incident where I was trying to give a report and, well– A girl that works at Hokage Tower came in and– She was wearing this really sweet perfume and…I lost control."
Sasuke looks at him, stunned. "You attacked her?"
"I didn't mean to!" Naruto exclaims. "I just couldn't help myself! I couldn't even stop myself. The next thing I know Kakashi-Sensei is peeling me off of her and when I came to she looked terrified. He had to calm her down and get her to promise not to say anything. After that I had no choice but to tell him."
Sasuke takes in the explanation. "And what happened after?"
Naruto chews on his bottom lip. "Well, he told me that I should be taking care of things properly. Like, actually dealing with it, ya know?"
"You mean he actually wants you to sleep with people?" Sasuke asks disbelievingly.
"Yes." Naruto huffs out. "But I hate the idea so I said no. But he's been on my back about it every month since then and he finally broke me down. So I've been…taking care of it." Naruto mumbles the last part.
Sasuke gives him an incredulous look. "You've actually been fucking random people?"
Naruto gives him a pained look. "Trust me, Sas, I hate the idea as much as you do." He swallows a lump in his throat. "But it helps. Kakashi-Sensei sets me up with people and it actually helps. Everything stays anonymous though, so they don't know that it's me nor do I know who they are."
Sasuke makes a look of disgust and Naruto can't help but empathize with him. "That sounds…so unlike you. Why do you have to go so far? And why is Kakashi enabling you?"
"Because I don't have a choice." Naruto answers heatedly. "If I don't deal with my fucking heats then it starts to get so bad that I lose control of myself. Just like I did to that girl. I've been trying to ignore them for the past two years and the longer I ignore them the more it gets worse."
The blond sighs, suddenly feeling tired. "I hate it, Sasuke, believe me, but I have to. I've tried to take care of it myself but it just doesn't work."
"And this does?" Sasuke asks.
Naruto runs a hand through his hair. "Uh, honestly? This barely even works. I mean, I do feel a little better afterwards but the need just comes back anyway. I do feel better than I would with just my hand though."
Sasuke scrunches his face. "So it's just a temporary relief? Then what? You go through the same thing all over again the following month?"
Naruto shrugs. "Well, yeah. What else can I do?"
Sasuke breathes out a frustrated sigh. "This is all so fucking convoluted. You shouldn't have to sleep around like this when you don't want to."
Naruto opens his mouth to answer but Sasuke cuts him off before he does. "Yeah, I get it. You have to. I heard you the first several times."
Naruto slumps but relents. The perturbed Uchiha paces around the room for a moment, seemingly thinking to himself. Naruto watches him, wondering how he's feeling but surprised he's been taking it all so well.
Eventually Sasuke sits down next to him on the bed. "This is a lot, dobe."
The use of the nickname tells the blond that, while Sasuke is letting all this information sink in, he's still giving him a hint of normalcy. He doesn't want things to be weird between them. Naruto chuckles, grateful. "Trust me, I know. It was a lot for me when I found out about it too."
"Hn." Sasuke seems to mull over his thoughts for a moment before speaking. "You said you don't like having to do this, sleeping around. Would it be better if you were with someone you knew?"
Naruto immediately shakes his head. "God, no. I don't wanna use anyone just for my benefit. Least of all my friends. It's bad enough I've already been with people whose names I don't even know."
"True." Sasuke agrees. "You've always been like that though so I guess it's not surprising." The pair share an amused chuckle. "But, what if that friend of yours was willing?"
When Naruto whips his head over to Sasuke he catches him swallowing. "Willing? I mean, I don't know. Besides, I highly doubt anyone would be comfortable enough to help me with this."
"How can you be so sure?" Sasuke asks.
Naruto doesn't understand where his best friend is going with this. "Who would even help me with this anyway?"
"I would." Naruto freezes at the proclamation. He– Wait, what? Did he just hear that correctly?
"What do you mean?" Naruto asks dumbly.
Sasuke looks like he's having trouble maintaining eye contact. "I mean that, if you want me to, I could help you with this. I could help you with your heat."
Naruto remains frozen in his spot. He's not surprised at Sasuke's willingness to be with a guy. They had that conversation a while ago, and it honestly made sense to the blond. It was difficult having to explain that one to Sakura-Chan though.
What shocks Naruto is Sasuke's willingness to be with him.
He blinks himself out of his thoughts. "Wait. Sasuke, you do understand what you're saying, right?"
Sasuke closes his eyes for a moment and sighs through his nose. "Yes, dobe. I'm not stupid. But if you really need me to spell it out for you, then I'll say it this way so you can understand; I'm willing to have sex with you and help you through your heat."
Naruto reels back and is completely dumbfounded. "Wha– I– No! No, Sasuke. I could never ask you to do that!"
"You're not asking. I'm offering, usuratonkachi." Sasuke says confidently.
Naruto shakes his head. "I can't. I mean, I don't wanna use you like that and–"
"You're not gonna be using me." Sasuke interrupts. "I told you, I'm offering. I'd be well aware of what's going on and I could help you with your needs. This way, you'll be with someone you know and won't have to be with some new anonymous person every time. You won't be at risk of losing control anymore either. And we could keep things between us."
It honestly does sound like a good idea, much better than what he's been doing that's for sure. But still…
Naruto bites his bottom lip. "I don't know Sasuke. I appreciate it, really. But I don't know how I feel about dumping all of this on you."
Sasuke shrugs. "Would you rather be with someone you trust and are comfortable with, or do you want to keep doing what you have been doing?"
Naruto winces at the question. He has a point. It's not like he's been content with his current solution and, like he said before, it's not like it works entirely anyway. The feeling of satisfaction is only temporary which leads to him having to be sated by another random body, only to have to do it all over again until the heat is over, waiting for the next month to start the cycle anew.
At least with Sasuke, it'd just always be the two of them. Just them and the heat. And if he needs more, if he still feels his cravings stir, he knows Sasuke would be willing to give him whatever he needs. He'd never have to worry about losing control again and he can just let go and give in to his needs.
And if he's being honest, the thought of Sasuke being the one to satisfy his needs, of rutting into him and having him be the one to soothe this throbbing ache, wasn't just a tempting idea but an erotic one.
The throbbing in his pants is all the answer he needs.
"Fine. I mean, ok. Ok, let's– Let's do it. Let's try this out." Naruto stammers.
Sasuke seems to relax but also looks surprised that the blond even agreed. He blinks out of his stupor and clears his throat. "Yeah, let's do it. I mean, let's see what happens."
Naruto can't help but giggle at Sasuke's stumbling words. Sasuke joins in on the laughter, seeing the absurdity of the situation. Since when do they make each other nervous?
Well, then again, what they're about to do is a big decision. But Naruto still feels a sense of ease wash over him. He knows he doesn't have to worry about anything as long as Sasuke's around. He trusts him, more than anyone. He knows he can trust him with his body too.
Naruto leans over and rests his head against Sasuke's shoulder. The Uchiha stiffens but instantly relaxes. "I missed you, teme."
Sasuke chuckles. "Don't you always? You tell me every time."
"And I mean it every time." Naruto instantly responds. He lifts his head up and looks at the dark haired boy seriously. He stares back, unflinchingly, and gives Naruto a small smile.
"Usuratonkachi." He suddenly leans in and presses his lips to the blond's. Naruto is taken aback for a moment before leaning into the kiss. This is what they've chosen, isn't it? Might as well give in.
Naruto lifts a hand to a pale cheek and his kisses instantly become hungry and greedy. Sasuke's taste spurs him on and he's already asking for entrance to his mouth with tongue.
Sasuke pulls away and his breathing is heavy. "Relax, dobe. There's no rush."
Naruto whines. "I don't wanna wait any longer. It hurts, Sas."
"What does?" Sasuke looks him up and down. "You mean…" He trails a hand up his thigh and stops right before he reaches Naruto's crotch. "Right here?"
Naruto bites his lip and nods. He doesn't know where any of Sasuke's sudden confidence is coming from but he finds he doesn't really care. If anything, he's grateful for it and it's helping him relax more.
Sasuke smirks at him and he feels the heat inside him flare. He stands and removes his cloak, followed by his shoes that he failed to leave at the door when he stormed inside before. He leans over Naruto and connects their lips again.
Naruto doesn't bother holding back. He's sloppy and eager and Sasuke is responding in kind. He lays the blond down on the bed and crawls on top of him, placing a leg in-between his own. Naruto instantly starts grinding into his thigh and moans into the kiss.
Sasuke pulls away and looks at him with a smirk. "You really are needy, aren't you?"
Naruto whimpers but doesn't stop his movements. Sasuke watches him for a moment in awe as the blond bucks into his thigh. He moans shamelessly as he feels the ache soothe, yet the heat inside begins to grow.
Sasuke leans back down to reconnect their lips and Naruto grabs him by the back of his neck. He uses his other hand to grab his hip and uses the leverage to continue his grinding. Sasuke actually presses his thigh against him and it makes the blond groan.
The dark haired boy breaks the kiss and trails his lips down Naruto's neck. The blond pants at the stimulation and nips at Sasuke's clothed shoulder. When Sasuke's lips reach the collar of his shirt he sits up and pulls off his shirt.
Naruto stares as smooth and pale skin is exposed to his eyes. Sasuke leans over him and Naruto doesn't even bother contemplating whether he should touch him or not. He runs his fingers across his skin all the way down to his toned abs.
Sasuke has always had a lean and toned body, but somehow over the past two years he's managed to pack on more muscle than he had before. Naruto would say he has a bit more than him (and Sasuke would probably deny it because it's Sasuke ) but Naruto finds Sasuke's body to be incredibly appealing. He wants to drag his lips and tongue all over his skin.
Before he actually follows through with his thoughts he sits up and all but tears his own shirt off before running his hands on Sasuke's body again. The Uchiha gazes at Naruto's form before leaning down to nip and suck on his neck again. The blond resumes his grinding against Sasuke's thigh and licks and nips his shoulder.
He feels like he's burning from the inside, like his blood is on fire, and he wants nothing more than to combust. Sasuke trails his hands down his sides and he suddenly remembers that the Uchiha is a Fire Style user. If Naruto is burning from the inside then he wants Sasuke to be the one to spread the flames like a wildfire.
The pair continue their grinding until Naruto can no longer take it. The friction is good, it's really good, but it's not enough. He gently pushes Sasuke off of him and before the dark haired boy can ask Naruto is already pulling his sweatpants off. He's hard and leaking and his head is red and swollen. Sasuke looks like he's trapped in a daze as he openly gawks at Naruto's naked body.
The blond squirms and grabs one of Sasuke's hands and lures it to where he needs the attention the most. "Sasuke." He whines.
The dark haired boy snaps out of his daze and smirks when he looks back up at Naruto. "You really are impatient. I told you, dobe, there's no need to rush."
Naruto glares. "And I told you, I can't wait anymore. I need you, Sasuke and I can't take it."
A fire appears in Sasuke's eyes and Naruto swears it's identical to the one inside of him. He leans closer and observes the blond. "You need me huh? Or is it this" Sasuke grabs Naruto's hand and places it over his hard-on. "You need?"
Naruto whimpers. "You, Sasuke, you. I mean it. Please?"
Sasuke continues to scrutinize him until he wraps his hand around Naruto's length. The blond moans, finally receiving the attention he's craved. Sasuke circles the tip with his thumb and Naruto feels himself leaking precum onto his hand. When the dark haired boy starts stroking him the blond cries out loudly. He's usually always more sensitive during his heats and it doesn't help that he was in the middle of jerking off before Sasuke arrived.
Sasuke's ministrations are quick and vigorous, not even bothering to start off slow, and the blond is incredibly thankful. He bucks his hips against his touch, fucking into his fist, as he grabs onto Sasuke's shoulders. Naruto leans his head back and moans unabashedly.
He's used his hand to stifle the heat many times before but it's so different when he's being touched by another's hand. It's better.
"Sasuke." Naruto moans and he feels him speeding up his movements.
The Uchiha leans forward and kisses down his chest, trailing his lips across his heated skin, before stopping at a nipple and wrapping his lips around it. Naruto moans as Sasuke flicks and licks his tongue against it all while rotating his fist up and down the blond's cock. Naruto can feel the tension building up inside him and frantically thrusts into Sasuke's hand.
The dark haired boy switches his attention to the other nipple and rubs Naruto's tip, flicking his thumb against the slit, before snapping his wrist with his strokes. Naruto's eyes roll back as he groans. "Oh, fuck! I'm so close, Sas."
When Sasuke looks up at the blond, he notices how he falters for a moment before cooling his features with a smug smirk. "Yeah? You gonna cum, Naruto?" Sasuke taunts before nipping the blond's pectoral.
Naruto whimpers and nods frantically. "Yes, I– Oh God. Oh fuck."
Sasuke smirks. "You gonna cum all over my hand?"
Naruto whines and he grips the bedsheets around him. He's so close, he's–
"Cum for me, Naruto."
As if on command, Naruto feels the coil inside him snap as he spurts ropes of cum onto Sasuke's hand and his own stomach. His moans are loud and shameless and the fire inside is burning so good. His body relaxes as his orgasm subsides and when he opens his eyes (he didn't even realized he'd shut them) he sees Sasuke looking at him smugly.
"That good, huh?"
Naruto blushes and looks away. "Shut up."
Sasuke just chuckles. "I hope that's not all you've got. You aren't worn out already, are you?"
Naruto huffs. "Are you kidding? I couldn't wear myself out from just one orgasm no matter how hard I try."
Sasuke chuckles again. "Well, that's good to know." The Uchiha stands and begins to remove his pants.
Naruto watches as long, toned legs and creamy skin are revealed to him. His gaze moves up and he's dazed by the sight of Sasuke's cock. It's long and smooth and the tip is red. Naruto thinks his cock is really pretty. He doesn't bother saying that out loud though, he can already imagine what Sasuke would say to that.
As Sasuke climbs back on the bed and crawls on top of Naruto, he recalls something from before and his curiosity sparks. "Um, just now. There was a moment where you hesitated."
Sasuke starts at that for a moment before understanding hits him. He chuckles. "It's nothing. It's just that I wasn't expecting your eyes to be red when I looked at them."
"Huh?" Naruto lifts a hand and finally notices the claws that have grown. Which also means that the rest of his features…
He groans. "Really?! Not again."
Sasuke chuckles at his reaction. "Does this happen all the time?"
Naruto rubs his face, feeling a combination of annoyed and embarrassed. "Yeah, mainly during my heat though. Primal instincts and all that."
Sasuke carefully peels Naruto's hand from his face and the blond is met with an amused smile. "Calm down, dobe. It's not like it bothers me anyway. It's not the first time I've seen you like this."
"I know, but it's the first time you've seen me like this during sex! I mean, isn't that weird?" Sasuke only shakes his head at him.
The dark haired boy traces the lines of Naruto's much darker whisker marks gently. "How bout this?"
In the next instance Sasuke activates his Sharingan. He smiles. "Does this help?"
Naruto lays there and gazes up at his best friend. He reaches up and tucks Sasuke's bangs behind his ear, revealing his Rinnegan. Instead of answering he leans up and kisses Sasuke deeply, hoping that he understands his gratitude for him. Sasuke kisses him with the same fervor, licking at his lips and Naruto opens up to let him in.
Their tongues rub against each other sloppily and the blond can already feel a trail of drool pour down his chin. When they break apart there's a line of saliva connecting their lips and Sasuke lays his body on top of Naruto's, fitting himself between his legs and pressing their hips together. Naruto instantly bucks his hips against Sasuke's, rubbing their cocks together, and groans against his lips.
Sasuke grinds down onto him and licks the blond's bottom lip. He pants into his mouth before they reconnect their lips, tongues dancing together. Naruto spreads his legs to allow Sasuke to fit in-between them much better and moans when he starts thrusting his hips faster.
Sasuke kisses a path down Naruto's cheek and jaw and nips at his earlobe when he reaches his ear. "You like that?"
Naruto responds with a groan. "Yeah? You like it? I'm not even fucking you yet and you're already so desperate."
Naruto whimpers. "Can't help it." He pants. "S-sensitive."
Sasuke hums in his ear. He grinds a little harder against Naruto and the blond wraps his arms around Sasuke's shoulders. "You're sensitive, huh? Is that a heat thing?"
Naruto nods and he feels Sasuke smirk against him. "I'll keep that in mind from now on." He licks the curve of Naruto's ear and grinds down hard against his cock.
Naruto cries out and moves his hips against him, feeling the way their hard lengths move against each other. Sasuke kisses down Naruto's neck and latches his lips onto his pulse point. The fire inside Naruto is flaring again and Sasuke is stoking the flames.
He recalls the time he was told that his wind could strengthen Sasuke's flames and he's never felt the truth of those words so viscerally the way he does right now. They move against each other feverishly, Naruto tightening his grip on Sasuke's shoulders, as they pant into each other's ears. Naruto nips and bites at Sasuke's neck and shoulder as the dark haired boy does the same to him.
He hears Sasuke gasp and groan next to him as he feels the nips from his fangs before he picks up his movements against him. Naruto wraps a leg around his waist and moans, feeling himself so close to the edge again.
"Fuck! Sasuke. Ah! So good." Naruto feels warm liquid landing on his skin and he doesn't know if it's Sasuke's precum or his own. He really doesn't care though.
Sasuke gives him a particularly harsh nip. "You gonna cum for me again, Na-ru-to?"
The way Sasuke draws out his name has the blond rolling his eyes back. He starts moving his hips erratically, moaning into his ear.
He feels Sasuke nip his earlobe again. "You like when I make you feel good?" Naruto nods.
"Do you want me to be the only one who makes you feel good?" Naruto moans at the words and nods again.
"Yes, Sasuke! Yes! I only want you. Only want to fuck you." And somewhere deep inside Naruto was shocked to find that it was true.
Sasuke chuckles seductively into his ear and bites his shoulder. "My little fox. Mine. "
And that was all it took to send Naruto over the edge. He moaned Sasuke's name over and over again as he covered their abdomens in warm semen. Sasuke spread soft kisses all over Naruto's neck and it helped ground him as he came down from his high.
Sasuke leaned up to look at him and Naruto instantly moved in to kiss him deeply, carefully touching his face with his clawed fingertips. He licked into his mouth and the dark haired boy chuckled into the kiss. They broke apart and leaned against each other's foreheads, panting and catching their breaths.
"You didn't cum." Naruto breathes out as he begins to drag a hand down Sasuke's body.
"Hn." Sasuke rolls his eyes and removes the hand but answers softly. "I'm holding off for now, usuratonkachi. Not everyone has your level of stamina."
Naruto giggles. "Right. Not to mention not everyone goes into heat every month."
Sasuke smirks, amused. "Yeah, that too."
He leans forward and they share a soft and passionate kiss. Sasuke nips at Naruto's bottom lip and makes him giggle again. Naruto kisses his chin and nuzzles his nose against him.
He can't help but feel like this has all been worth it. He feels so comfortable with Sasuke, with his best friend, and he can tell the Uchiha is enjoying himself too. He doesn't need to hold back here, doesn't have to hold his voice or keep his touches to a minimum. He can just be himself and be as loud and as wild as he wants to be. He can let go and enjoy himself, knowing that the man he's with wants all of this for him.
If this is what going into heat with Sasuke will be like from now on, then he can honestly say that he's looking forward to it.
Sasuke gazes at Naruto as he seems to be contemplating something. After a moment he just decides to ask. "So, how are we doing this exactly?"
Naruto freezes. "Huh?"
"I mean, how are we going to do this? Have sex?" Sasuke furrows his brows. "I mean, did you want to be the one who…"
Understanding dawns on the blond as Sasuke trails off. He blushes and bites his bottom lip before pushing Sasuke away slightly and turning around onto his hands and knees. When he looks over his shoulder he catches the way Sasuke is looking at him in astonishment.
"Um, I want it like this." Naruto feels his cheeks warm at the position.
Sasuke blinks at him and swallows. "Y-yeah?"
Naruto nods and glances away. "When I, uh, touch myself to try to calm the heat, I end up…sort of…um." Naruto is sure his face is red. "F-fingering myself."
Sasuke's face changes from a look of shock to a look that's almost feral. "Oh?"
Naruto nods again. "It, uh, it helps. It feels good. Calms my instincts." Naruto feels the fire in him beginning to light up again. "Makes me feel full."
Sasuke gives him a heated look. He maneuvers Naruto to lay on his side and trails his fingers up his body until he reaches his lips.
"Suck." He demands and Naruto feels a shiver down his spine.
The blond opens his mouth and lets Sasuke slip his fingers inside and he begins to suck on them greedily. He licks his tongue in-between his fingers and nips the tips with his fangs. Sasuke gives him a sultry smirk as he begins thrusting his fingers into his mouth, finger fucking Naruto's mouth and it makes the blond moan around his digits.
When Sasuke deems his fingers lubricated enough he removes them slowly, Naruto eyeing the line of saliva connecting them to his tongue and watching it break as Sasuke lowers his hand down the blond's body.
"Get back on your hands and knees." Sasuke demands gently and all Naruto can do is obey. When he feels wet fingers rub against his hole he tenses and moans.
"Shh. It's ok. Relax for me, Naruto." Sasuke soothes and the blond takes a deep breath to relax his body.
Sasuke slowly presses a finger into him and the blond moans, but Sasuke stops after a moment. Naruto looks at him over his shoulder, confused.
Sasuke is looking at him with a raised brow. "I thought you'd be tighter."
Naruto's face instantly turns red and he looks away. "I, uh. Well, that's because– Before you got here I was, um."
" Oh. " Understanding hits Sasuke and his grin is absolutely filthy. "I get it. So that's what you were doing before I got here. No wonder you took so long to answer."
He slowly slides his finger further inside the blond and Naruto arches his back as his face burns. "You were getting yourself all nice and loosened up for me."
Naruto whimpers when Sasuke's finger enters him completely. He waits for the expectant thrusting, but instead Sasuke removes his finger and slides it back in along with a second one. Sasuke finally moves his fingers inside him, thrusting and spreading them apart to stretch him and Naruto instantly devolves into an incoherent mess.
He feels so good, so hot, so full. This. This is what he could never get whenever he was sleeping with strangers. He could never feel the sense of fulfillment he does now from feeling Sasuke's fingers deep inside him. He moans shamelessly, panting into his pillows, and the only thing he can think of is how much he wants to be bred.
How much he wants to be bred by Sasuke .
Sasuke slips a third finger into him and Naruto cries out his name. He moves his hips against his fingers and Sasuke grabs his hip with his free hand. When Sasuke presses his fingers against a certain spot inside him Naruto throws his head back and nearly screams.
"Ah! Sasuke!"
Sasuke speeds up his movements and hits that same spot with every thrust of his fingers.
"You like it when I finger you here, Na-ru-to?" Sasuke's voice is pure arrogance and pride and it's turning Naruto on so much.
"You want me to fuck you? You want me to hit this spot with my cock?"
Naruto cries out and feels the fire in his blood roaring. The flame isn't even a burning red anymore and it's boiling. "Fuck! Sasuke! Ah!"
Sasuke squeezes his hip and prods that spot inside him dead on. "That's it, Naruto."
"Sasuke! Please! Fuck me! Fill me with your cock! Breed me, please!" The blood in Naruto's ears is so loud that he barely even hears what he's saying.
But Sasuke hears him loud and clear. He moans at Naruto's begging words and leans over him, not letting up on his fingering, and nips at any part of the blond's back that he can reach. "Is that what you want? You want to be filled by me?" He says into his ear.
Naruto groans and he's almost there again. "Yes, please. Fill me Sasuke. I want you so bad."
Sasuke nips at his ear. "You want my cock buried in your ass?"
" Ah! " Naruto clamps down on Sasuke's fingers. "Fuck, yes."
"You like that idea, don't you, little fox? You like the thought of me being buried in your tight little ass." Naruto whimpers at Sasuke's dirty words. He wonders once again where this side of him is coming from but he also can't believe how hot it is.
"I want you to cum for me again, Naruto. Let go for me and let me watch you." Naruto obeys the Uchiha and feels himself clamping on Sasuke's fingers as he cums all over his sheets.
He's loud and frantic as his orgasm washes over him and he's leaning his head against Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke is kissing his heated flesh and Naruto just feels so good. Like he's finally obeying his primal instincts to the fullest.
He slumps onto his bed as his orgasm fades and Sasuke gently removes his fingers from inside him. He carefully flips Naruto onto his back and leans in to kiss him deeply. Naruto wraps his arms around him and glides his tongue with his.
When Sasuke pulls back he gives him a serious look. "You ready?"
Naruto nods. "Yeah, please."
Sasuke gives him one more kiss and positions the tip of his cock at Naruto's entrance. Naruto spreads his legs to accommodate him and watches as Sasuke sinks into him. He throws his head back and moans as the dark haired boy slides in further.
Sasuke halts his movements for a moment, making Naruto whine. "You ok?"
"Yes, please. Don't stop." Naruto begs and Sasuke continues to fill him.
"Just so you know, I'm probably not gonna last very long." Sasuke pants. "You're too sexy."
Naruto shakes his head. "It's ok. Just fuck me."
Sasuke nips at his chin and buries himself to the hilt. "Yeah? You want me to breed you, right, little fox?"
The blond whimpers. "Yes. Breed me, Sasuke."
Sasuke groans and pulls his hips back until just the tip is inside before slamming his cock back in. Naruto cries out and holds onto Sasuke's shoulders as the Uchiha sets a rough pace. "I'm not– Hah! Holding back."
Naruto looks into Sasuke's mismatched eyes, one a burning red and a mesmerizing purple, staring back into his own and feels a jolt of lightning shoot down his spine at the eye contact. "Don't hold back, Sasuke. I want– Ngh! I want all of you."
Sasuke fucks into Naruto roughly and wraps his legs around his hips. When he finds that spot inside Naruto again he pours all of his focus on it and rams that spot relentlessly. Naruto's moans are so loud they're nearly screams and his toes curl as the fire inside blazes the hottest it ever has.
The flames are white hot, pure carnal pleasure spreading throughout his body and it feels so good, so right being connected to Sasuke like this. Like he's finally complete.
Sasuke is panting and groaning and grunting above him and Naruto can't look away. "Don't take your eyes off me, little fox."
Naruto grabs the back of his neck and bucks his hips up into Sasuke's thrusts. He nods his head in response, keeping his eyes on his lover just like he wanted him to.
The bed is creaking underneath them and their sounds are bouncing off the walls. The space between and around them is hot and humid and Naruto is overheating in the best way. The flames are reaching high inside him and Naruto has never burned this hot before. It's so good.
"Sasuke, I'm getting close. Fuck!" Naruto groans.
Sasuke picks up his movements and grunts. "Yeah, me too. Where do you want me to cum, Naruto?"
Naruto whines at just the thought of Sasuke cumming anywhere else. "Inside. Inside me. Please. Cum inside me, Sasuke."
The Uchiha groans and thrusts into the blond faster, hitting that sweet spot inside hard and rough. Naruto's ass clamps down on Sasuke's cock and the dark haired boy kisses down his jaw. "I'm gonna cum in you, Naruto. I'm gonna fill you with my seed and breed you like a good little fox."
Naruto moans and scratches his nails down Sasuke's back and shoulders. The Uchiha groans at the pricks of his claws drawing blood on skin, but he doesn't tell him to stop. They move against each other in their heated dance and Naruto leans his head on Sasuke's shoulder. "Sasuke, I–"
"Cum for me."
And Naruto screams as he feels that white hot pleasure peak inside of him. Sasuke continues his thrusting, prolonging his orgasm, as he grunts at the way Naruto's ass squeezes him tight. His movements become erratic as he stops holding back his groans. Naruto watches him in awe as Sasuke begins to let go.
"Cum inside me, Sasuke."
And the dark haired boy groans gutterally from deep within his chest as he spills inside the blond. He pumps the blond full of his cum until he's milked dry. When Sasuke pulls out Naruto can feel his seed pouring out of him. He glances at Sasuke as he watches the way his cum leaks out of the blond's hole. The sight makes something inside Naruto purr.
He was bred and he made his mate happy.
Sasuke lays down next to the blond as they both catch their breaths. The room is filled with nothing but their heavy breathing as they collect themselves. Naruto briefly lifts a hand to check on it and finds that his claws are gone, meaning the rest of his fox-like features are gone too. Once they're both coherent again something finally occurs to Naruto.
He chuckles. "Little fox?"
He turns his head to Sasuke whose face has turned red. He looks away from the blond and mumbles. "Shut up. It was the heat of the moment."
Naruto giggles. "It's ok, ya know. I didn't mind it." He rolls over and lays his head against Sasuke's chest, wrapping an arm around his middle.
Sasuke looks over and wraps his arm around his shoulders. "Yeah? You didn't mind?"
Naruto shakes his head and hums. "In fact, I kinda liked it." He blushes.
"You did, did you?" Sasuke presses a chaste kiss to his lips.
Naruto smiles. "So this is what it's like, huh?"
"What is?"
"Being satisfied after taking care of my heat."
Sasuke smirks and chuckles. Naruto can see a hint of pride in his eyes. "You were actually much more in control than I thought you would be."
Naruto bites his lip as he thinks. "Probably because I've been taking care of my heat lately. So I wasn't really all that suppressed."
Sasuke's face scrunches and he huffs. "Well, you don't have to worry about anyone else touching you again."
Sasuke lifts his chin slightly with his finger. "You have me now."
Naruto blushes and buries his head into the crook of his shoulder, a happy smile on his face. The pair lay there together in comfortable silence, Sasuke caressing Naruto's back with his fingertips. He's never felt so satisfied in his life, especially during his heat. It feels like for the first time he's….complete.
Naruto has an epiphany.
"You know, when this all started and I was going into heat for the first time, I started having these dreams." He explained.
"Yeah?" Sasuke prompts him to continue.
"In those dreams I was with someone. And that someone would make love to me while I was in heat." Sasuke grunts but he doesn't say anything. His obvious jealousy makes Naruto grin, amused.
"I wasn't sure who the other person was at first. I didn't think it was anyone in particular. When I asked Kurama about it and he told me about what was going on with me, I assumed the dreams were just a way for my instincts to tell me to have sex to make me feel better." Naruto feels Sasuke playing with his hair.
"As time went on though the dreams became clearer. And so did the other person in them." Naruto swallows nervously. "It was you."
Sasuke stiffens underneath. "What?"
"It was you. In my dreams. That person in my dreams was you." Naruto lifts his gaze to the dark haired boy who's already looking back at him. "I think the real message behind my dreams was not to have sex with someone to feel better, but to give myself to you."
Sasuke stares at him completely stunned. After a moment he leans in and presses his forehead to his. "You really think so?"
Naruto leans into him. "Yeah, Sas. I do."
They stay that way for a moment, content.
"Usuratonkachi."
Naruto releases a light laugh before they share a sweet kiss. It isn't long before it turns passionate as they taste each other's warmth.
When Sasuke pulls away he's giving him a soft look. Naruto doesn't get a chance to ask what it means though. "How are you feeling? Do you need a bit more?"
Naruto chuckles and shakes his head. "Honestly? No, I– I think I'm done for tonight. I've never been this worn out and tired during a heat before."
Sasuke smirks. "I'm the only one that's done that, huh?"
"Oh shut up, teme." But Naruto is smiling. Sasuke briefly sits up to grab the comforter and cover their nude bodies with it. Naruto curls back to Sasuke's side and they wrap their arms around each other.
"Wake me up before dinnertime." Naruto mumbles sleepily and he hears Sasuke chuckle in response.
For the first time in two years since his heat started, Naruto falls into a deep and peaceful sleep.
.

When Naruto tells Kakashi-Sensei that he doesn't have to find people for him anymore, he gives both him and Sasuke a knowing, mischievous look.
