Brief Summary:  Sasuke asks Naruto to stay with him in a moment of terrible truthfulness, leading to a discussion neither really wants to have.

"Stay with me...” he whispered, lips brushing lightly against skin, catching a few stray strands of blond hair. Sasuke wasn’t quite sure what he meant by those words. No, he understood what he was asking, just hadn’t thought out the full implication of it. He never really did. Not at least when he knew what he wanted; the route would somehow work itself out. A crossroad would appear here or there, turn left or right, and the decision was made. Or so he figured. It had worked much like that up until this point.

He was patient though. So when Naruto said nothing immediately afterwards, Sasuke merely waited. Naruto always gave him an answer at some point or another. However, he admitted dryly to himself, waiting for this was far more difficult than waiting to catch up to Itachi.

To settle the few nerves that Naruto's silence had managed to jangle, he slipped his hands down over the blond's shoulders. It was there that he had noticed time's effect the most. Having never really spent much time checking his physical self out (though there were countless hours of thought put into the growth of his skills), Sasuke had failed to note the broadening of his own shoulders, the gradual deepening of his chest, all finely muscled. But he had seen it in Naruto, blinking in mild shock at the testament of time displayed by that bare body.

“Stay with you...”. There was a pause. Sasuke brought his hands around Naruto's waist, fingers dancing skillfully over the tanned expanse before them. He tugged the young man backward, smirking at having met no resistance in the act.
