Hello readers, followers and visitors :) Welcome to my newest SasuNaru fanfiction! I had to take a break and really mourn the end of "Dirty Little Secret" and not use any ideas from that story into this one. This is a new direction from the other two as the poll jogged my mind of the ideas swimming in the crowd of my yaoi fans. So, this is what I got, enjoy the ride :)
WARNING; This is a yaoi story (maleXmale) Don't like, don't read. This is the only warning I'm putting in.
Chapter 1
Jealous
It was a cold morning but the sun was still shining through the window, bleeding onto the blankets that covered bodies. It wasn't long that an alarm clock went off and a hand crept out of the blankets to silence it. With a shiver, the hand recoiled back under the blankets and rolled over.
"Don't fall back asleep," A voice was heard with a warning in it's tone. Opening his eyes, he looked forward to see red hair that fell over a face but in neat strands. He reached out, pushing the hair back to see him, as his eyes opened. He forgot to wash his face again so his thick black eyeliner was smudged in a sexy way; yes, smudged eye liner can be sexy. As they smile at each other, the man who had to get up, sat up, blankets uncovering his bare chest and he made a mad dash for the closet, to find clothes. He dressed in a hurry, pulling on black slacks and a white button up dress shirt and came back to bed with two ties. "Blue one," The sleepy head said back to the rushed. "Red is for dates that later turn into kinky sex." He rolled his eyes as he started to tie his tie, but after a few failed attempts, the other guy from the bed pulled the blankets off to come over and help. "Come on, I can't do this for you every morning,"
"But I sure do appreciate it." The red head stepped back and nodded.
"Looks good," He then walked over to the mirror and he did look good, well, besides his wild blonde locks that spat out every which way. But nothing a little water wouldn't help, he hoped. When he returned from the bathroom, his red haired room mate was making breakfast, shirtless. He grinned and came over but before he could hug him from behind, he said.
"Eat then get going or you'll be late." He sighed and did as he was told.
"What are you doing up so early anyway, you don't even work today." His cook turned around and pointed with his spatula, egg residue flying off as he said.
"I got his hopeless boyfriend that would be lost without me." The blonde grinned shyly, colour lighting his cheeks as he ate quietly. "But that's one of your best qualities."
"Doubtful." Both chuckled as they shared a meal before one had to go to work. He headed for the door, pulling his shoes on, grabbing his bag but then heard over his shoulder.
"Forgetting something?" He glanced over his shoulder at who stood behind him. But he looked down, he had his bag, his shoes and pants on; what could he be forgetting? "Your kiss," He looked up with a huge smile as the red head came over in a few steps and their lips locked. It was meant to be a peck but the blonde was still smiling so hard, that their lips locked in a motion that tongue slipped in. It was the red head who had to pull back but the blonde was leaning forward, wanting more as his fingers were toying with the edge of his roommate's boxers. "We can't, you'll be late."
He sighed regrettable. "Damn, you're right."
"And don't you forget it." They smiled at each other before he then stepped out of the door, closing it softly behind him.

It was ten after seven and the office was nearly dead; most people didn't come in until quarter to nine in the dark office. However, there was one room down the hall where the light flickered onto the walls outside the open office door. In the office, behind a desk, sat a man with dark hair and just as dark eyes. He was bent over, writing something and would momentarily look up at the screen near him, type something and hunch over again. He had an ash tray full of cigarettes next to him and a pack by it but he hardly paid any mind to it as he worked. He casually sat back, pushing his hair out of his face and when he did, he saw someone standing in the door way of his office.
"What the hell are you doing here?" The man came in, laughing.
"Is that any way to talk to your favourite Uncle Obito?" The man behind the desk rolled his eyes dramatically.
"You mean my only uncle?"
Obito came over and leant against the desk, picking up the pack of smokes, patting it to free one and popped it into his mouth. He fished in his pockets and then pulled a lighter out, lighting it and blowing smoke out as he looked down with a smile.
"That's why I'm your favourite," A sigh erupted from Obito's nephew and he smiled as he watched his nephew stretch back, looking out the window from behind him. "So what time did you come in today? Six thirty?"
"Six."
"Big shot," He darted cold eyes at his uncle and Obito just smiled, putting his hands up then putting his cigarette out.
"Come on, play nice," They all turned their eyes to the new voice and saw a man walking in with long black hair tied back and in a black suit. He was smiling, even if his voice was as cold as "the big shot's" eyes were.
"Who twisted your panties in the morning already, Sasuke?" Sasuke glared as he hissed.
"Shut your mouth, both of you, get out of my office."
Obito looked at the new guy and smiled. "Oh dear, did you hear that Itachi, looks like Sasuke is throwing a temper tantrum." Itachi nodded but then Sasuke stood and both of them retreated, letting some remarks go but Sasuke barely registered them. Instead, he placed his face in both his palms and sighed. It wasn't even eight in the morning.
That's when Sasuke heard a small knock at his door. He raised his head to see a blonde man with a wrinkled suit standing in the door way. He could have been 5'9 but he was slouching and his shoulders were curved in so it made him look 5'7, maybe 5'8 at the most.
"Can I help you?" He watched the stranger play with his hands, a nervous tic he guessed. But the blonde noticed he was doing it then he tucked his hands behind his back and smiled.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I have an interview for eight." His dark eyes glanced at the clock to see it was ten to eight. Sasuke nodded, grabbing his papers and tapping them against his desk and neatly putting them aside. Then he looked up, seeing Naruto still standing in the door way.
"Well, come in, oh, close the door behind you." Naruto did as he was told and came over, half tripping. He glanced up quickly to see if the man noticed but when he didn't, he played it cool and sat down. "So, what interests you Konoha Publishing?"
"Well, I worked for Sand Publishing for a while and I just moved back and would really want to be closer to home." Sasuke chuckled.
"So this just interests you because it's convenient?" Naruto's eyes widened.
"No, I mean, no, no is what I mean." He rubbed his sweaty palms on his slacks and said. "This is the best publishing industry in the country and I like a challenge. Moving here just seemed to work out." Sasuke nodded, not taking his eyes off this bundle of nerves of a man. He was sweating, badly, and his hair was a mess. He looked like he just came off from the street; Sasuke squinted but said.
"Look, I called your references and your boss at your old work and she was crushed when you left for she said you beamed with talent. You look like you could have potential but I warn you, I run a high class environment." Naruto nodded as the man's face was dark and serious but his mouth twitched, like he wanted to smile to show him he wasn't all scary all the time. "I read some of your work and you do write well, so I'll see you Monday." Naruto's eyes widened as he grinned.
"Really?"
"Really." Naruto stood, then sat then stood to shake his new boss's hand. His hand was cold but smooth as Naruto's was hot and clammy, Sasuke hardly noticed. Sasuke smiled as he yanked Naruto close to him, where he was leaning over the desk and dumped over a bowl of a few pens. Sasuke then said, with some bite to it but with a firm smile. "I will see you Monday with a crisp suit, do whatever you can with your hair if able." Naruto nodded slowly as Sasuke smiled. "Alright, good, then I will see you then." Sasuke released him and Naruto stepped back but before he could turn out and leave, he heard. "By the way, I'm Sasuke Uchiha." Naruto tried to smile as he said.
"Nice to meet you, Sasuke."
Sasuke smiled as he placed his head in the palm of his right hand as he said. "No, the pleasure is all mine."
Naruto then forced himself to walk out, feeling his heart beat skip as he tried to leave the building as quickly as he could; what did he get himself into now?

The evening was even more cold then in the morning. Naruto pulled up the collar of his jacket as he walked home, hands in his pockets. His breath puffed into white clouds and he watched, soon looking up at the stars. It was such a clear night, even if winter was closing in on everyone. He still smiled as he made it home to see his boyfriend in a white dress shirt, no tie and with black pants. His wild red hair was combed back out of his face and his eye liner wasn't as thick but just as sexy.
Naruto closed in on him, like a fox hunting a rabbit but the boyfriend turned and smacked Naruto on the head with the side of his hand. "No, we have to go to your family dinner tonight or did you forget?" Naruto held a hand to the top of his head.
"I remember, but I also remember what your kiss did to me this morning." The red head rolled his eyes. "Come on, a quickie?" Naruto wrapped two arms around his neck but he still got pushed away. "Gaara, please?"
Gaara pushed him off and pointed at him and with a stern voice, he said, "Naruto, stop being a tease, take your tie off and leave it on the bed." Naruto cocked an eye brow at Gaara, who was pulling a suit jacket on.
"Me a tease?"
"Yes," Gaara replied, as he started to do up his jacket. Naruto rolled his eyes as he started to loosen his tie and just before he could take it off, he said over his shoulder.
"Gaara?"
"Yes?"
"Why do I have to leave the tie on the bed?"
Gaara grinned as he answered back. "So I can tie you up with it later." Naruto turned, ready to attack him once and for all but Gaara was already heading out the door with a chuckle escaping his lips. All Naruto could do was shake his head and follow.
They were ten minutes late, not that they had a quickie but the weather didn't play nice. They opened the door to the small house, brushing snow off their heads and shoulders. They stomped their feet and a head poked around the corner and they smiled.
"Well, better late then never," The voice said as they stepped around and Naruto hugged the man who towered over him. "Welcome home, son."
"Thanks Jiraiya," When they released, Jiraiya shook Gaara's hand and they all were led into the kitchen, where the family sat. Tsunade moved her chair in so the boys could squeeze by her to sit at the two free spots and everyone looked at them.
"Snow got you?" Iruka said, leaning in and his partner, Kakashi, leaned back so he could see down his shirt. Kakashi grunted as he leaned forward and Shizune smiled over.
"What's wrong, Kakashi?" She asked sweetly and he glared over. They all turned their heads to clapping and Tsunade placed her hands on her lap when everyone was looking at her.
"Alright children, that's enough." They all grumbled but Naruto looked at her and smiled.
"Holy, ma, way to kill the show." She glared over.
"Mind your manners and say grace. Jiraiya, don't you dare put that forkful of meat in your mouth." He sighed and placed it down as they all bowed their heads and listened to the soft pray that Naruto said and when he was done, everyone ate like it was their last meal. Only Gaara ate slowly, handing his bun over to Naruto when Jiraiya took the last one and Gaara gave his water to Kakashi when he ate two buns at once and drained his water, trying to swallow it all with Iruka patting his back. Naruto then glanced at Gaara, and when Gaara noticed it. Naruto leaned in and whispered softly into his ear and Gaara blushed as he heard the words over the noise.
"I love you."
It was after supper, when Tsunade, Shizune and Iruka were cleaning up that the rest went to the living room to talk. It wasn't just them for long before everyone joined them. Kakashi sat on the floor, leaning against Iruka's legs as Shizune sat beside him. Jiraiya and Tsunade were sitting on the other couch as Naruto was sitting on the floor as next to Gaara. They all chatted about everything, everything coming into one big conversation.
"Shizune, when are you getting married?"
She rolled her eyes at Kakashi, who had his head back as Iruka played with his hair in soft motions. Their eyes were locked as they smiled at each other, Naruto and Gaara noticed that and reached out to hold hands. "When I get a boyfriend."
"Maybe you should try women, you're luck with men are terrible." She went to say something but Tsunade cut in.
"Being single isn't bad. Jiraiya and I knew each other since we were ten but didn't date until we were in our early thirties."
"It was actually our late-" Tsunade glanced over. "Really early thirties." She smiled at him as he looked down, survival face in motion. Naruto held back some laughter as Gaara glanced at him, then looked down, touching his stomach. Tsunade saw the motion of that and called out to him.
"Are you alright Gaara dear?" He pulled his eyes up and put his hand down, Naruto was now looking at him.
"Y-yes, fine, really." Naruto leaned in, touching his forehead to the side of his boyfriend's cheek.
"You feel warm."
"No I don't!" Gaara blurted out and Naruto giggled as the rest started to mock him about how his skin matched his hair. He blushed brighter and brighter until Jiraiya put a stop to it with a question.
"You started a new job didn't you Naruto?"
He nodded. "On Monday."
"Where?" Iruka asked, not taking his eyes off Kakashi.
"Konoha Publishing." They all agreed that was a good place for him and Naruto's gut tightened. He was good at what he did but the memory of his boss, Sasuke, popped into his head. He was both charming and terrifying and he looked down. That's when Gaara took a deep breath and moved in front of him. Naruto blinked and noticed him then, still holding Naruto's hand with a nervous face.
"I'm so proud of you,"
Naruto smiled. "Thank you Gaa-"
"You really are an inspiring person. You are good hearted and care so much about other people always before yourself. I admire that about you. I'm so glad I found you. Thank you for letting me take you out on that date; even if you were so nervous and spilt your drink on me and lost your wallet in my car so I had to pay. I would do it all over again, if I could." Naruto looked at Gaara as everyone looked at Naruto. It was silent in the room, it could cut through any noise the world had to offer. That's when Gaara reached in his jacket pocket and pulled out a box. Kakashi then lifted his head completele and laughed as he said.
"Fuck yeah!" Then an "ow" followed after but Naruto didn't see what Iruka did, his eyes were locked to Gaara's as he opened the box.
"Yes," Gaara blinked.
"You don't even know what I'm going to ask." Naruto stopped and nodded as Gaara then said. "Naruto will you-"
"Yes." Gaara gave up as Naruto's family cheered behind Gaara as he slipped the ring on of Naruto's left hand. It was a clear silver band with Gaara's and Naruto's family crescent becoming one in the center. He couldn't stop smiling as he then leaned in to kiss Gaara, ignoring the wolf calls his family made. He just deepened the kiss then after a few seconds, they both excused themselves to go home early. No complaints were heard about that.
