Sasuke tilted his head, hair brushing the back of his neck as he watched Naruto maneuver himself through the branches of the apple tree until he was nearly at its crest.

“This one looks good,” Naruto said, reaching out to pluck a bright red apple dangling just above his head. He held it triumphantly out for Sasuke’s scrutiny.

Sasuke crossed his arms. “Looks fine. Throw it down.”

Naruto launched it at his head as he would have a kunai. Sasuke stepped aside and caught it easily, allowing himself a smirk.

“I still don’t understand why I’m the one doing this,” Naruto muttered as he quickly made his choice and picked another one for himself.

He climbed back down the abnormally tall apple tree until he reached the lowest branch. Dropping onto the thick limb, he stretched his legs out and leaned back against the trunk, tossing the apple from hand to hand.

“‘The best apples are at the top,’” Naruto intoned, voice lowering into a sorry impression of Sasuke.

Sasuke shrugged and polished the apple skin on his shirt before bringing it to his mouth.

Naruto made to do the same except his gaze was suddenly caught, drawn to Sasuke’s lower face. His lips parted, drawing back over even teeth which pierced the skin of the apple, sinking into the soft white flesh just beneath. Juice welled up, caught between Sasuke’s lips. He bit a good chunk off, the tip of a pink tongue darting out to catch the dew at the corner of his mouth.

Naruto felt his own mouth go dry.

Sasuke chewed, oblivious to the hungry look his teammate had focused on him. He brought the fruit back up and took another bite, releasing more juice that dribbled down his chin before his tongue could catch the flow. He reached up to wipe at it and suddenly found himself with an arm full of blond ninja.

Naruto’s fingers curled into the hair at the nape of Sasuke’s neck as he leaned forward and sucked the juice from Sasuke’s chin before licking a broad stripe to the corner of his mouth. He sucked lightly at Sasuke’s bottom lip, wet and sweet and full.

Sasuke remained still throughout the sudden assault until Naruto pulled back, blue eyes staring transfixed at his mouth. Sasuke felt the urge to smirk again but instead schooled his expression into one of dim annoyance and ignored the stirring in his shorts.

“I’m trying to eat here,” he said coolly, pushing Naruto away with a hand on the blond’s chest.

Naruto swallowed and Sasuke watched the way his adam’s apple rose and fell in his throat. Then the blond turned and hopped back onto the branch, resituating himself and gesturing at Sasuke.

“Continue,” he said.

Sasuke snorted and brought the apple back to his mouth. Naruto groaned.

“Do you mind? Don’t you have your own apple to eat?”

“You can eat mine next.”

Sasuke shook his head, unable to help the tilt of his lips, and took another bite.

The end.
