Chapter 4 : Flirting
Sasuke, with his hand firmly placed on Naruto's waist, pulled the blushing young man as close to himself as possible, all the while wearing a flirty smirk that gave off a completely different vibe than his usual indifferent self.
Naruto watched him stop in front of the reception desk and smoothly mention having booked a room in advance, discreetly hinting that he's here to spend the night with his lover, but making it obvious at the same time since their appearance and attitude at moment screamed that they just finished having dinner at a classy restaurant before coming here to end their date after "doing the deed". Naruto blushed more after thinking this. Unintentionally trying to hide his face in Sasuke's shoulder, all the while thankful for the heavy make up on his face that's helping to cover up the natural redness underneath it.
He felt Sasuke's warm breath on his forehead as the raven lightly pecked it, before turning to the giggling female receptionist and saying, "He's super shy, you see, ain't he the cutest?", using the same flirtious tone but with a hint of pride. This made the girl giggle even more and agree with a squeal.
Now Naruto just wanted to bury himself alive to get this over with.
'So embarrassing~~~', he whined to himself.
Even as they walked towards the elevator, got inside and got out on their floor, Sasuke still kept up with the flirtious act, snuggling him and kissing him on the cheek or forehead now and then.
By the time they were inside the room and Sasuke finally let him go after closing the door, Naruto was reduced to utter nothingness.
Sasuke warily eyed him slowly crouch down covering his face with both hands and making a whining noise before mumbling in a barely audible voice, "Sasuke, you stupid teme, tell me beforehand if you're going to do emmbarassing stuff like that, you dumbass, I thought I was going to die out of embarrassment, didn't I~?"
Sasuke smirked, amused by his reaction. The raven had expected him to either hate it or be awkward about it, but then when he saw him catch onto his plan and play his role well by acting shy and clinging to him, he was actually quite impressed. But looking at him now, he released that it might not have been acting at all.
'Interesting..', he thought amusedly.
Seeing said interesting young man still crouching down with his hands covering his face, Sasuke knelt down beside him, patting his head, offhandedly thinking his blonde hair is way softer and nicer to touch than this well made brunette wig, and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? It was just an act. Or did you like it so much that you couldn't help but feel shy?", he purposely teased him, smirking wide.
"Shut up, dumbass!", Naruto yelled, punching his shoulder, "Unlike someone here, I'm not really used to stuff like this so even if it's just an act, I really can't handle it! So stop teasing me, teme!"
Sasuke smiled warmly, without even realizing it, "I'm not used to it either, I usually don't do missions that involves dressing up as someone else or playing a role like this, but I can't take up the more dangerous ones I usually do with you tagging along now, So bare with me, dobe", he gently caressed his nape, making Naruto shiver, "I only took this up cause I was partnered up with you, I thought I could do it if it was you" he slowly moved his hand away, getting up to stand, "I don't get comfortable with people in general so feel honored to have made me feel this comfortable with you, in such a short time at that", he smirked, walking into the bathroom.
Naruto sat there blankly for quite some time before getting up and walking towards the huge bed.
He didn't know what exactly Sasuke meant by what he just said but he could tell that the raven was being affectionate towards him, and caring for him in his own way.
It made him feel strangely restless and weirdly happy, he'd never felt like this before, so he had no idea why.
He flopped down on the huge bed and bounced on top of it, enjoying it's softness. He couldn't stay still for some reason, he felt so excited.
Sasuke who had taken off his disguise by now, came out to witness the 24 year old act like a 4 year old.
Naruto stopped excitedly bouncing around on the soft bedding when he sensed the all too familiar red eyes stare at him with amusement and turned to look the raven, only to audibly gasp.
Sasuke was leaning against the wall next to the bathroom door with just his dress pants on and his hair that was styled to be wavy looking more fluffy, making him look more alluring. Naruto blushed again.
"Can't you at least dress up before coming out?", he glared, clearly embarrassed.
"Says the guy that came out to greet me with his shirt half-buttoned up", Sasuke smirked, enjoying the reaction he got a little too much.
"At least I had a shirt on!", Naruto retaliated, now even more embarrassed. All of a sudden the realization of Sasuke having seen him in that state made him feel very conscious. Why though?! He really had no idea. Was he always this shy?
"Well, the spare clothes arranged by the ones that originally booked this room must be somewhere in that closet", Sasuke said nonchalantly, as he walked towards the said walk-in closet.
Now that caught Naruto's attention big time, he confusedly asked, "We weren't the ones who booked this room??"
"Someone else is in charge of making bookings like these and another that arranges for the things we'll need while staying here", He came out of the walk-in closet, dressed in all black, like he's usually dressed during work, "There are more people in this organization that do things in the background like this than the ones like me or Kiba who work on the frontlines", he patiently explained, sitting down next to him on the bed, "You'll slowly know more the more you tag along, and you can take your time to decide whether or not you really want to go down this path.. Because once you do, you can't back down..", his usually bright red eyes darkened for just a few seconds before he playfully smirked like usual, patting his head -making Naruto wonder if what he saw was an illusion.
Naruto always had a biased opinion, towards organizations with gangsters or hitman and such, that they were people that lured others to join them by using money as bait, and using underhanded ways to make them stay whether they like it or not.
That's why he'd assumed that was the case this time too as they treated him so well and payed him so much even when he did almost nothing. He could tell they were good people deep down though so he didn't practically feel wary even if they really were just trying to lure him and make him stay, because the fact that they helped him wouldn't ever change.
But now after hearing Sasuke say that, he thought that he was might have been completely wrong about their intentions, right from the very beginning.
They might have just taken him in for now, and don't even expect him to stay.
Is that why they didn't let him kill anyone yet? He couldn't help but wonder and feel a bit guilty for thinking bad about them unintentionally.
While he was spaced out thinking deeply about such things, Sasuke had gone and stealthily finished the work in a matter of minutes, and when Naruto noticed him walking into bathroom again with a little bit of blood smeared on his cheek, he couldn't help but stand up startled, voicing out quickly and full of concern, "Weren't there security cameras in the corridor?! You're not gonna get caught, are you?!"
Sasuke was surprised to find him so worried about him being caught, rather than the fact that he'd killed someone again. Naruto himself was quite surprised, but he felt what he felt, he couldn't help it!
Sasuke laughed, more out of happiness than amusement this time, "Don't worry, dobe, I haven't been an assassin all my life for nothing, even if there were tens of cameras around I'm confident I could get away with my speed", he smirked confidently, but Naruto still looked wary, making Sasuke find him more cute by the second, "Also, the cameras' were all hacked already by a really~ genius hacker~ Since the Cleaners never take any risks~" he said with a playful teasing smirk, purposely revealing this important piece of information at the very end, and escaping into bathroom before Naruto could retaliate, offhandedly announcing from the bathroom, "People really underestimate my skills~"
Naruto couldn't help but pout for having been toyed with again, he was actually really worried dammit! Give him back his worry!
"Stupid teme..", he mumbled to himself before going into the closet to get something more comfortable to wear and got into bed without waiting for Sasuke to come out and pretended to be asleep.
