Naruto x Sasuke back together

Chapter 19

They settled down in the clearing, wrapped in each other's arms as if nothing else mattered. Sasuke leaned into Naruto's touch, his heart pounding as he felt Naruto's warmth enveloping him. Every touch, every kiss, sent a thrill through his body, his skin alive with the memory of Naruto's hands.

Naruto pulled Sasuke closer, his lips trailing along Sasuke's neck, his hands exploring every inch of him as if trying to memorize every line, every scar. Sasuke's breath hitched as Naruto's touch became more intense, more insistent, like he couldn't get enough.

After a few moments, Naruto pulled back slightly, a grin playing on his lips as an idea seemed to strike him. "Hold on a second," he said, his tone playful but laced with a familiar hunger. He formed a quick hand sign, creating a shadow clone that appeared beside them with the same grin mirrored on his face.

Sasuke arched an eyebrow, surprised, but the intensity in Naruto's gaze left no room for protest. Naruto leaned in, his lips brushing against Sasuke's as the clone moved closer, positioning himself behind Sasuke. He felt himself being pulled back, his body leaning against the clone's chest, feeling the steady warmth and strength behind him.

As Naruto continued kissing him, Sasuke felt the clone's arms encircle him from behind, holding him close. Naruto's real self moved forward, his lips gentle but insistent as he deepened the kiss, while the clone's hands began to explore, fingers tracing down his shoulders, his sides, lingering with a softness that made Sasuke's skin prickle with sensation.

Naruto's hands moved to Sasuke's face, fingers brushing his cheeks as he kept the kiss slow and thorough, savoring each moment, each sigh that escaped Sasuke. Meanwhile, the clone's hands traveled over Sasuke's waist, his touch warm and steady as it pressed against Sasuke's skin, creating an overwhelming blend of sensations that made him feel surrounded, cherished.

Sasuke's breath hitched as he felt Naruto's lips trailing down his jawline, moving to the sensitive spot below his ear. The clone's hands remained steady around his waist, keeping him close, supporting him as if Sasuke might melt under their touch at any moment. The clone's fingers trailed upward, one hand moving to rest on Sasuke's chest, pressing against him gently as Naruto continued to explore, his lips, his hands, tracing every inch they could reach.

Naruto's eyes flickered with a look of wonder as he leaned back slightly, his fingers brushing down Sasuke's arms as he studied him. "This... feels familiar somehow," he murmured, his voice soft yet filled with emotion. He leaned in closer, his lips hovering near Sasuke's. "Like... I've been this close to you before."

Sasuke froze, his heart hammering in his chest as he realized this was the moment he'd feared, the secret he'd kept hidden finally coming to the surface. He swallowed, feeling his pulse quicken as he met Naruto's gaze, steeling himself for what he had to say.

"Naruto," he began, his voice low and hesitant, "there's... something I need to tell you."

Naruto's expression softened, his hand reaching up to cradle Sasuke's cheek gently, silently urging him to continue. Sasuke took a shaky breath, his heart pounding as he felt Naruto's warmth anchoring him, giving him the strength to finally speak.

"The reason this feels familiar is because... we've done this before," Sasuke admitted, his voice barely audible. "When you've gone into rut because of Kurama... you'd forget what happened afterward." He looked down, feeling a surge of fear, the weight of his confession pressing heavily on him. "I... I was scared to tell you. I didn't want to lose you."

Silence filled the air, and for a moment, Sasuke couldn't bear to look up. He feared the expression he might find on Naruto's face, the disgust he thought might be there, the rejection he'd always dreaded. But then he felt Naruto's hand on the back of his neck, pulling him close, and Naruto's forehead pressed gently against his own.

"Sasuke," Naruto whispered, his voice filled with warmth and tenderness. He nuzzled his head into the crook of Sasuke's neck, his touch firm yet gentle. "I'm not mad at you." He tilted Sasuke's face up, his blue eyes filled with a soft understanding, a foolish, loving smile on his lips. "I only wish I could remember it."

Sasuke's eyes widened, a rush of relief and overwhelming happiness washing over him. His chest tightened as he felt tears welling up, his heart pounding with a mix of joy and disbelief. Naruto wasn't angry. He wasn't disgusted. Instead, he was here, holding him, his touch filled with acceptance.

Seeing the tears glistening in Sasuke's eyes, Naruto chuckled softly, brushing his thumb over Sasuke's cheek as he leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss there. "Hey," he murmured with a teasing grin, "don't get all teary on me. We'll make new memories, ones we'll both remember, right?"

Sasuke let out a small laugh, his own smile breaking through as he wiped the tears away, unable to stop the happiness that overflowed within him. He gazed at Naruto, his heart full, the love he'd held back for so long finally free to show. Naruto's expression was soft, his fingers tracing gentle patterns along Sasuke's skin as he grinned.

"You're such an idiot," Sasuke muttered, but his voice was warm, filled with affection, his gaze unwavering as he looked at Naruto.

Naruto just laughed, his arms wrapping around Sasuke as he pulled him close again. "Yeah, but I'm your idiot." He leaned in, capturing Sasuke's lips in a kiss, slow and deep, sealing every word they'd shared, every emotion that had finally come to light. Sasuke felt his heart soaring, his body melting into Naruto's embrace as their kiss deepened, each of them holding onto the other as if nothing else existed.
