“That’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard.”
Naruto had expected to hear that. Honestly, he was surprised he hadn’t been punched in the face too.
“C’mon, they’re still me!” Naruto argued, attempting to convince the very unimpressed Sasuke before him. He had fantasized considered using shadow clones in the bedroom for some time; overwhelming Sasuke with multiple pairs of hands on his body, making him unable to do anything but succumb to it. He knew Sasuke would likely refuse the idea. But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t try.
Naruto stepped closer, placing his hands on Sasuke’s hips and pushing him against the kitchen counter. “It could be fun~” He drew out the last syllable as he leaned closer. He captured Sasuke’s lips before he could scoff out a reply.
Naruto lingered close. “Just think of it, two of me? Three?”
Sasuke let out an exasperated sigh, Naruto could feel the warmth on his lips. “That’s exactly why. I don’t think I could handle more than one idiot at a time.”
Naruto smirked, pressing the length of his body against the man before him. “So you’re saying you couldn’t handle more than one of me?”
Sasuke looked quickly away. “That’s not what I meant.”
“Sure sounded like it.” Naruto grinned. He’d never push Sasuke into something he didn’t want to do, but he knew it was difficult for him to back down from a challenge.
Plus, Naruto had learned that when Sasuke averted his eyes like he had, he was lying.
“Just one time, and if you hate it so much I’ll make them vanish and never bring it up again.” Naruto offered.
Sasuke didn’t respond immediately, slipping out of Naruto’s hold instead. He moved for the stove. “Dinner is burning.”
…Naruto didn’t receive his answer until a few hours later.
“No more than two.”
Naruto’s hand stilled and it took him a second to catch up to what Sasuke was referring to. He looked at Sasuke through the mirror once it connected, excitement bubbling up in him. “Really?!”
With his back turned, Sasuke hung up his towel after drying his hair one last time. “Don’t talk with a mouthful of toothpaste.”
Sasuke left the bathroom shortly after.
Naruto would grin if he didn’t have a toothbrush in the way. He could make do with two. He honestly hadn’t planned for more than that, still wanting a piece of Sasuke for himself during it. Even if they were technically him, he was selfish. And he’d be damned if he got jealous over his own clones.
By the time Naruto was wrapped up with his routine, Sasuke was already cozily tucked into bed with a novel in hand, propped up on a pillow to keep it steady as he flipped pages. His hair was pushed back, long enough to hang over an ear but a few strands poked out as they dried. It was awfully domestic, finding Sasuke in moments like this. It’d make his chest warm at the sight if he wasn’t already warm all over, mind having flooded full of images and ideas of what to do with a few shadow clones now that he’d received permission.
“Are you going to stare at me or are you going to get into bed?” Sasuke asked, not looking up from the pages.
Naruto grinned. “Both.”
Sasuke looked up from his book, brows creased with confusion.
‘What the—now?!” Sasuke exclaimed as one shadow clone popped into existence and plucked the book from his hands.
“Yeah,” Naruto said, watching as the first clone peeled the blankets off of Sasuke. He was stiff, looking at the clone with uncertainty as it climbed over him. “Unless you don’t want to?”
“It’s…” Sasuke trailed off as the first clone straddled his hips, tanned thighs on either side of his pale ones, and dipped his hands beneath his worn, black t-shirt he wore to bed. “It’s fine.”
Even from a small distance, Naruto could see the slight shiver rattle Sasuke’s frame from the sudden exposure to chilled air. The clone slid his hands up Sasuke’s sides, bunching up his shirt with it, and ducked down to pepper feather-soft kisses across the expanse of his taut stomach. It was an abrupt start for sure, but Naruto knew how to ease him into it.
Naruto climbed into his side of the bed and cupped Sasuke’s jaw, guiding his head to the side and kissing him deeply. Sasuke sucked in a quick breath before reciprocating, opening up to him. He tasted like spearmint, a stark difference between the sweet peppermint on his own tongue. Sharper and earthy; Naruto loved it. He moved to tangle his hands in raven locks, tilting his head back slightly to kiss him deeper. Sasuke let out a sound, something close to a gasp if his mouth hadn’t been occupied, as the clone bit the soft skin of his lower belly. It dragged its tongue over the spot before resuming gentle, barely-there pecks along the waistband of Sasuke’s now tented boxers. Naruto continued kissing Sasuke, it was a good way to keep him distracted.
The clone moved further down the bed, stripped his boxers away, and kneeled between his thighs while Naruto kept him occupied. The clone pushed up one of Sasuke’s legs, just below the pit of his knee, and repeated the onslaught of soft kisses on the underside of his thigh. Sasuke’s breathing grew shallow, soft puffs of warm breath against Naruto’s cheek.
Sasuke’s hand twitched at his side, clearly undecided on what to do, or who to touch, with two bodies paying him attention. Naruto noticed this at the same time the clone did, and the clone reached to interlace their fingers. Sasuke relaxed slightly.
Naruto knew he couldn’t exactly predict every action the clone would do, but with a quick exchange of looks, Naruto had an idea of what was happening next. Naruto broke the kiss, leaving reddened, swollen lips in favor of trailing down the column of Sasuke’s neck instead. He planted heavy kisses, the ones he knew Sasuke liked best, until he felt the shocked gasp that punched its way out of Sasuke’s chest as the clone took him into his mouth.
Sasuke tossed his head back with a groan. His throat bobbed beneath his lips, swallowing back the rest of his sounds, as Naruto continued down, teeth grazing the sensitive spots he knew well. Despite Sasuke’s attempt to silence himself, small gasps and quiet moans kept slipping through his lips, unable to use his hand to muffle his voice like he usually would. Naruto smirked into the crook of Sasuke’s neck.
The clone languidly began sucking Sasuke, lazily licking circles around the head before taking him in again, and repeating. Naruto kept himself busy. Having reached the collar of Sasuke’s sleep shirt, he bunched up the rest of the fabric until Sasuke’s flushed chest was exposed, and continued there. On its own, this wasn’t one of Sasuke’s favorite things, but it was one of Naruto’s favorite things to do. With Sasuke thoroughly distracted with the clone picking up the pace between his legs, Naruto went to work. He kissed down Sasuke’s sternum before picking a side, finding the pretty pink nub and licking around it. He used his other hand to pinch the opposite. Sasuke writhed beneath him, back arching. The bud hardened beneath his tongue as he sucked around it gently. Once he was pleased, he switched to the opposite side and mirrored his actions. He swiped his thumb over the now opposite swollen bud, slicked by cooling saliva, making Sasuke whimper quietly.
Sasuke’s chest rose and fell rapidly as he arched against Naruto’s touch. Between his thighs, the clone held him firmly by the base as he sped up, wasting no more time to tease. Naruto flinched when he heard the clone gag but immediately resumed its actions, taking Sasuke in as deep as possible. Sasuke cried out as the clone swallowed around him.
It didn’t take long until Sasuke was shaking and twitching, hungry for air as sounds were drawn out of him. His first one usually happened pretty fast.
“I’m gonna come,” Sasuke breathlessly warned, finally raising his head to watch as the clone gagged around him again. His mouth hung open, panting, as sweat beaded on his forehead. He looked up to Naruto, brows creased and eyes wide. “Naruto, I’m—”
“Go ahead,” the clone interrupted, having popped off of him for a moment. A wild, self-satisfied grin spread across its face. “Let me taste you.”
“S-shit,” Sasuke’s head flung back against the bed. It was a beautiful sight watching him fall apart, body twitching and reacting against his control. Sasuke squeezed the clones hand hard where they were interlaced, knuckles growing white as his body convulsed. He came with a groan that resonated from somewhere deep in his chest, bucking into the clone's mouth despite the firm hold keeping him still.
The clone worked him through it, continuing to suck him until Sasuke cringed from overstimulation. The clone pulled off and wiped its mouth by the back of its hand before sitting up, grazing the soft skin of Sasuke’s thighs up and down, palms flat, to soothe him.
Naruto loved this, being able to watch Sasuke unravel like this from a different angle. Unobscured and raw. His skin was flushed, blossoming a bright pink from his cheeks, down his neck, all the way to the center of his chest before it fades. His lips bitten a bright cherry-red from muffling his own sounds. His expression relaxed as he calmed down, no tension between his brows or in his shoulders, eyes shut gently. Even his hand had relaxed in the clone's hold.
Sasuke made a surprised sound when Naruto kissed him.
It was languid and slow, allowing Sasuke to catch his breath and for his pulse to resume a somewhat normal rhythm. The clone continued gently touching him, now splaying its hands over the expanse of Sasuke’s stomach and up and down his sides. Naruto tenderly brushed strayed, still damp hair back over Sasuke’s ear, somehow making his flush darken even more on his cheeks.
Naruto was ready to move on, though. Pushing himself up, Naruto motioned for the clone to swap places with him.
“Turn over,” he said to Sasuke as he reached to find the lube from the bedside table drawer. By the time he pushed the drawer shut, Sasuke was on his knees, ass up, arm flexing to support his weight. Sasuke was pretty pliant after coming once, less strain around his control and appearance. It was a trust that’d been built with time.
Naruto uncapped the lube and poured it liberally over his fingers, swiping the excess against Sasuke’s entrance, causing a gasp from the man below from the sudden touch. The clone, now in front of Sasuke, took advantage of this and pulled him into a deep kiss. Sasuke sighed into it. Naruto recapped the bottle and tossed it aside for now. With his clean hand, he caressed the swell of Sasuke’s ass, grazing his palm over his hips and back as he began to tease Sasuke’s entrance. The clone kept Sasuke busy, muffling the little sounds he made as Naruto circled around the rough skin teasingly. He dipped his finger in, just enough to hear a hitch of breath, before pulling out. He continued to toy with him like that, circling and teasing, until Sasuke began to harden again and he squirmed beneath him.
Satisfied, Naruto sank one finger into him. Sasuke broke away from the clone to let out a heavy breath, tension leaving his frame, head hung loose between his shoulders. The clone held his head tenderly, combing its fingers through his hair.
Sasuke’s arm gave out from under him and slipped out of the clone's tender touch with a cry as Naruto thrusted a second finger alongside the first without warning. Sasuke relied on just his forearm to bear his weight now, back arching beautifully. God, he was pretty. Naruto worked Sasuke open slowly, taking his time as Sasuke tried to rock back against his hand. The clone, now unoccupied, began to touch itself as it watched.
“You doin’ okay?” Naruto asked softly a few minutes later, after Sasuke had relaxed further and his breath calmed a bit. Sasuke nodded. Taking it as permission, Naruto squeezed in a third finger, increasing the stretch and earning a muffled moan in response. Sasuke’s forehead dropped to the sheets as he breathed, coaxing himself to relax the best he could. Naruto rewarded him, finding the spot that made Sasuke writhe and hitting it straight on with the next thrust. Sasuke cried out, followed by a string of curses each time Naruto petted the spot.
“You’re so pretty,” the clone said, capturing both of their attentions. One hand caressed Sasuke’s cheek. “Can I have him suck me? Please?”.
Naruto glanced between the clone and where Sasuke’s head hung between his shoulders. “Wanna repay the favor, Sas?” Naruto asked, leaning over him slightly. Naruto stilled his hand until Sasuke replied.
Sasuke, wordlessly, propped himself up the best he could and settled himself in front of the clone's swollen cock. The clone cursed as Sasuke kitten-licked the head before slowly taking it into his mouth. That was his answer. Naruto resumed his earlier movements, intermittently touching his prostate just to make him moan around the clone's cock.
Watching Sasuke please the clone, a mirror of himself being pleasured, almost made it feel like it was happening to him. Sasuke took in as much of the cock as he could, pushing himself even further as he moved up and down the length, and gasping for air when he pulled back off. Only to circle the head with his tongue, or lick a heavy stripe up the underside, before repeating.
Naruto hadn’t noticed he’d increased his movements until Sasuke started fucking back onto his hand, hard. Greedily.
He pulled out of Sasuke, wiping the excess lube over his neglected cock. The sudden touch made his breath hitch. He lined himself up after a steadying breath, and pushed in. Sasuke pulled himself off of the clone to moan, low and deep. He pushed in until he was flush against Sasuke’s ass and groaned. Naruto caressed the curve of Sasuke’s ass with one hand, and steadied himself with the other.
“You take him so well, don’t you?” The clone praised, languidly stroking its cock as Sasuke shuddered. Sasuke pushed himself back up slightly, enough to take the clone back into his mouth.
“Yeah you do,” Naruto said mindlessly, watching himself as he pulled out of Sasuke, only to slowly push back in. He gradually moved faster until finding a steady rhythm, soft grunts falling from his mouth with each thrust into that blissful heat. Sasuke moaned tiny, muffled sounds as he took it. On a particularly harsh thrust, Naruto having lost himself in the pleasure for a moment, Sasuke gagged around the clone's cock and coughed when he pulled back. The clone moaned lewdly, blond hair tousled and slightly hanging over its eyes as it watched Sasuke with adorement. Naruto slowed to allow Sasuke a moment to collect himself before continuing.
Sasuke’s moans grew whinier as Naruto picked up the pace, too distracted to thoroughly suck the clone like before, rubbing his cheek against it instead. Naruto’s body felt hot, pinpricks of sweat gathering on his forehead and the palms of his hands where he held Sasuke’s hips. He always felt so fucking good around him, tight and wet and warm and perfect. Naruto gripped Sasuke’s hips tighter, pulling him back and changing their angle. Sasuke moaned, high pitched and muffled as he hit his prostate head on. His hand fisted the bedsheets as he strained to keep himself upright.
Heat and pleasure clouded Naruto's mind, taking over his body as he chased the feeling. He punched a moan out of Sasuke on every hard thrust, only serving to spur him on. He almost lost himself to it, he would have, if he hadn’t noticed the clone vigorously stoking itself in a way he recognized.
“You can’t come yet,” Naruto said to the clone. He was met with wide, almost betrayed looking blue eyes of his own in return.
The clone looked between Naruto and Sasuke, back up to Naruto, and sighed. “Fine.” It got up from its spot in front of Sasuke and moved to his side instead, and a bit awkwardly, reached underneath Sasuke. “Doesn’t mean he can’t.”
Sasuke let out a gasp that grew into a low moan as the clone began to stroke him. Even if Naruto couldn’t see it too well, he could tell the clone wasn’t being gentle. Sasuke’s thighs began to shake as Naruto continued fucking into him, resuming the harsh thrusts from before. Sasuke keened, curling in onto himself as he was overwhelmed inside and out, Naruto abusing his prostate and the clone jerking him with vigor.
Naruto knew he couldn’t come either, otherwise he’d lose track of his clone. He gritted his teeth, adjusted his angle, and fucked into Sasuke harder.
Sasuke cried into the sheets at the change of pace, voice growing tight. “Fuck, I’m gonna come again.” Sasuke shook beneath him. “Please. Fuck, please.”
“You ask so nicely,” the clone said, speeding up its movements. “What do you think?” It asked Naruto.
It was hard to not come like this. Naruto fought his own pleasure, growling somewhere in his chest that he felt more than heard. “Come, Sasuke.”
A shaken cry racked through Sasuke’s throat as he trembled and came for a second time, clenching around Naruto as he fucked him through it. The clone didn’t stop touching him, but slowed its movements as Sasuke made a mess of the sheets. He gasped for air as his body convulsed and twitched, quickly becoming overstimulated. The clone released him, hand covered in spend. Naruto slowed, too, coming to a full stop. He allowed Sasuke a few moments to come back down. Naruto clenched his teeth, continuing to fight his body as Sasuke clenched around him a few more times before finally relaxing.
The clone crouched by the side of the bed, petting the top of Sasuke’s hair. “You did so good for us,” it praised, quietly. Sasuke mumbled something that sounded like ‘shut up’ against the ruffled bedsheets.
“Can you go a little longer?” Naruto asked gently, testing Sasuke’s sensitivity by pulling back out a little and pushing back in slowly.
“Yeah,” Sasuke breathed, head turned to the side. His hair was a mess, plastered over his head and tangled. The clone brushed it back. “Just go slow.”
He’d go slow, alright. Sasuke had given him permission to use two clones. He wasn’t passing up that opportunity no matter how close he was. He could wait. Or try to, at least.
Sasuke didn’t register the second clone until it grabbed his hair roughly, pulling him up. Sasuke moaned at the harsh tug, clenching around Naruto’s stilled cock once. His arm wobbled as he found some semblance of balance. Wordlessly, the second clone kneeled on the bed in front of Sasuke, lowering just enough so its flushed, hard cock was mouth-level.
“You’ve been nice and warmed up for me,” the clone said, voice low, nodding over to the first clone. It held Sasuke by the jaw, not forcibly, but commandingly. “You can take me, too, can’t you?”
Sasuke’s shoulders shook, a shiver rattling his frame. He hesitated, strained on one arm for balance, still split open on Naruto’s cock. Slowly, he nodded.
The second clone hummed, pleased. “Good. Open.”
Naruto wished desperately he was in the clone's place to watch as Sasuke slowly opened his mouth, allowing the clone to push in. Unlike the first clone, this one wasn’t as gentle. Instead of letting Sasuke set his own pace, the clone did it for him. With one hand weaved into the sweat slicked hair on the back of Sasuke’s head, the clone held him steady and began to slowly thrust in and out of his mouth, savoring every inch.
Naruto had an ego, yes, he knew this well. But watching this clone of him use Sasuke like this— tan body flushed and pink lips agape as small groans fell past its lips, fucking into Sasuke’s mouth. He had to admit it: he was pretty sexy.
The first clone watched just as entranced, fixated as it stroked itself, just enough to keep from its arousal growing painful. Naruto, in turn, pulled out of Sasuke slowly and pushed back in at a torturous pace. Sasuke gasped at the movement, but gagged as the second clone continued its pace without pause.
The clone was rough with him as Naruto resumed thrusting into him with a steady, drawn out pace. Fucking into his mouth deeply, letting up for just hardly a moment for Sasuke to breathe before continuing, not giving him a moment to relax or recover when he gagged or choked; it was cruel. It was hot.
The second clone must’ve thought so as well, if the twitch of its hips and pinch of its brow were any indicator. It pulled out with a curse, quickly, after one last final thrust, still swollen and hard. Sasuke gasped, chest and forehead dropping to the bed as his arm lost strength.
Naruto slowed to a stop again. Sasuke whimpered as Naruto pulled out. He was pliant in his arms as he twisted him around to lay flat against his back. The second clone found a place behind Sasuke, letting him lay back against his stomach. It leaned down enough to place a soft kiss against his forehead and brushed the hair from his face. It gently wiped away the tears that’d fallen from the repeated gagging. The first clone came beside him, taking Sasuke’s trembling hand into its own, caressing the back of his hand with its thumb.
Naruto ducked in, capturing Sasuke’s swollen lips with a kiss. It was soft and gentle. Loving. Sasuke sighed into it, body relaxing. Naruto smiled softly as he pulled back. Sasuke mirrored it.
“Just a little longer,” Naruto whispered, breath ghosting over Sasuke’s lips. Naruto pulled back and settled himself between Sasuke’s legs again, pale thighs trembling. His stomach glistened, some of his spend must have splashed on himself earlier. After adding a little more lube, Naruto pushed Sasuke’s thighs back and exposed his entrance to the air. Sasuke whined at the bend. Naruto lined himself up again, teasing Sasuke a few more times by gliding over his stretched hole before sliding in with little resistance. Sasuke let out a low moan, head falling back onto the second clone's lap behind him.
“You don’t know how pretty you look,” the first clone said from Sasuke’s side, fingers gently tracing a line up Sasuke’s arm then splaying across his stomach. Sasuke looked at the clone momentarily, eyes wide and flustered. The second clone pulled his head back roughly in response, forcing him to look up.
“Or how pathetic,” the second clone chided with a mischievous grin. Naruto almost stopped the clone then, worried it was too mean of a remark, but stopped as Sasuke closed his eyes and whined at the mix of praise and humiliation.
“No, no. Keep looking at me,” the second clone said, hand tightening around Sasuke’s jaw to keep him in place. Sasuke looked at him. “Good boy.”
“F-fuck,” Sasuke whimpered, eyes locked onto the blue ones keeping him in place. He was so, so vulnerable splayed out like this; under three of his lovers gazes, spent and limp and overwhelmed; hair messy, eyes and cheeks red from tears, voice hoarse, skin slicked with sweat.
Naruto started fucking into him hard. Sooner than he should have, with how oversensitive Sasuke’s body must be, but he couldn’t control himself anymore. Not with the sight in front of him. He pushed Sasuke’s hips up, angling him in such a way that made Sasuke cry out on every thrust. Naruto fought, hard, to keep his head level enough to watch what the clones did as he fucked him before it was too late.
The first clone on Sasuke’s side caught Sasuke’s attention as it pulled his still slightly trembling hand to its cock, circling his fingers around it. It mumbled something Naruto couldn’t quite pick up, but Sasuke nodded and held still. The clone then began thrusting into Sasuke’s fist. Sasuke watched as he was used.
His body was shaking, strung out and exhausted below Naruto. His flaccid, drained cock weeped against his stomach, bouncing with every slap of their hips. Both of the clones and Naruto himself were panting in tandem as they all grew closer.
“Come back here,” the second clone said, pulling Sasuke’s head back to his lap. “I didn’t say you could stop looking at me.”
“But—”
“No.”
The clone was mean, Naruto determined, but Sasuke didn’t seem upset by it.
“Just feel it, Sas,” the second clone continued, more gentle than before.
“Let us have you. You’re doing so good,” the first clone chimed in, continuing to fuck into Sasuke’s fist. Sasuke shivered, whimpering.
Naruto was so close from watching Sasuke submit like this. His own body was strung tight, heat buzzing through his veins and clouding his mind with carnal need. He chased it, fucking into Sasuke as deep and hard as he could, sweat beading on his chest and heart racing in his ears. As the two clones worked themselves, Naruto could tell they were as close as he was.
“Sas,” the second clone said, drawing Sasuke’s head back again. Sasuke looked up. “Open.” It tapped on Sasuke’s lips.
Sasuke dropped his jaw open and the clone swiped its thumb over the tip of its own cock, gathering precome, and wiped it on Sasuke’s tongue. Holding his jaw open, it leaned over and spit into his mouth carefully. Sasuke swallowed thickly.
“Fuck, fuck you, fuck—” Sasuke spilled curses as the clone held his head back, keeping his eyes focused. His stomach was tense, cock twitching and thighs shaking around Naruto’s waist, unable to catch his breath or escape the clone's hold. “Naruto, Naruto—” He began to chant, suddenly incredibly overwhelmed and squirming.
“It’s okay,” Naruto assured, knowing what Sasuke was trying to say. Both the clones looked at him as they worked themselves, just as on the edge as he was. “You can.”
Sasuke convulsed immediately, clenching around Naruto rapidly as he came dry. The two clones came a second later, the second then the first, spilling onto Sasuke’s cheek and hand. They popped out of reality from the intensity, and everything came slamming into Naruto.
Naruto came with a sob, fucking into Sasuke desperatley as the strength of three orgasms surged through him at once, the memories of feeling Sasuke’s mouth on him, fucking into his mouth roughly, fucking into his hand, Sasuke’s tongue beneath his thumb. Naruto's ears roared as his blood rushed, pounding hard and dulling everything around him except the hot, tight place where they joined. His chest heaved, air not quite reaching his lungs as he struggled to catch his breath. Sweat trailed down from his hairline onto his forehead, cooling as it dropped.
Holy fuck.
Once somewhat aware of reality, Naruto gently slipped out of Sasuke and ignored the flicker of excitement that followed watching his spend seep out of Sasuke’s loosened hole. He took Sasuke up in his arms, squishing him against the bed.
“I can’t breathe,” Sasuke complained, breathless and strained from Naruto’s weight blanketing him. He weakly pushed against Naruto until he moved beside him. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke and pulled him into his chest. They were equally sweaty and sticky, both hot and cold from the way the moisture cooled. Their chests rose and fell rapidly, but slowly resumed a calm rhythm the longer they stayed.
Sasuke was the one to break the comfortable silence after a few minutes. “Bath?” He asked softly.
“I’ll start the water,” Naruto said, slinking off of the bed. His legs were a bit wobbly, more than he’d admit, as he filled the tub. Their tub was big enough for both of them; a conscious decision on their part. He retrieved Sasuke after a few minutes, carrying him bridal-style to the bathroom despite his verbal refusal, but made no real effort to get out of his hold. They both rinsed off quickly in the shower before dipping into the tub, ridding themselves of sweat and lube and cum stuck to their skin.
The water was warm and soothing, relaxing the tension in his body as he sank in. Sasuke immediately relaxed into the water, unwinding with a pleased sigh. Naruto awkwardly twisted around in the tub, trying to not splash around too much, and sat himself behind Sasuke. He pulled him into his chest, holding him near.
“You okay?” Naruto asked, whispering into the side of Sasuke’s neck. He rested his chin on Sasuke’s shoulder. He was anxious he’d gone too far, the overattentiveness of the first clone and the harsher, rougher treatment of the second. The clones were all versions of him, but they both showed sides of Naruto he wasn’t sure he’d ever show voluntarily.
Sasuke nodded, sinking further into Naruto's hold. “I’m fine.” His tone was gentle, seemingly sensing Naruto’s uncertainty. Naruto could hear a slight smirk in his voice when he spoke again. “Turns out I can handle more than one of you.”
Naruto signed out a relieved half-laugh. He was okay, nothing went too far. “Guess so,” he said, smiling softly. They stayed like that for a while, breathing softly as the warmth eased them both. The quiet was nice, the occasional drip of the shower faucet and the splash of waves against the walls of the tub.
Naruto eventually broke the peaceful quiet.
“Can I wash your hair?” He asked.
“I just washed it,” Sasuke said.
“I know, but your shampoo smells so good,” Naruto argued. He also wanted to do something nice, not just for Sasuke but for himself too. Sasuke, even without being able to fully see it, rolled his eyes but reached for the shampoo bottle.
“Yes!” Naruto smiled, taking the bottle from Sasuke. Sasuke, in turn, shook his head with an amused sound but settled himself back in front of Naruto. He worked the liquid into a lather and combed through Sasuke’s hair, the earthy and gently sweet scent flooding the air around them. Naruto had begun to associate that scent with home, smelling it on Sasuke's hair each time he arrived back from an outing or a mission. It’d also be the first thing Sasuke did when he’d return home from his own excursions; taking a shower and washing his hair.
Sasuke shivered underneath the tender touch, shoulders slouching as he relaxed. Naruto gently massaged the product in, combing his nails down his scalp and cupping water to rinse it out when he was done. He got most of it out. Knowing Sasuke, despite the earlier rinse and the soak, he’d take another quick shower to get fully clean before laying back down, so he didn’t worry too much about being perfect.
The water began to run cold and Sasuke moved to get out, but Naruto stopped him. He ducked in for a soft kiss.
“Hey,” he said quietly. “I love you.”
“I know,” Sasuke said and allowed Naruto to pull him into a kiss one more time. “I’ll meet you in bed.” He said and moved for the shower, turning it back on.
Naruto watched as he walked away, then dried himself off. His heart was calm and legs were less wobbly than before. He stripped the bed of its sheets while Sasuke showered, replacing them with clean ones before tucking himself in. He’d started to drift into sleep a bit by the time Sasuke joined him and ticked the lights off. Sasuke pulled Naruto's arm, silently requesting him to turn over and face him.
Sasuke kissed him softly. “I love you, too.” He turned back over, pushing himself into Naruto’s front and settling in, pulling Naruto’s arm snugly around his waist. “Now sleep, idiot.”
Naruto's heart smiled as he drifted off.
