Kare o Mamoru
Naruto layed wide-eyed on his bed unable to get any sleep. It was past midnight and Sasuke hasn't come back. Sure he told him that this mission was probably gonna take him all night but he didn't wanted to wait. Sasuke just came back from a mission a day ago and since then he's been occupied with paperwork and they hadn't been able to spend time as a couple. Naruto as Hokage knew his work was important but damn it, he missed the guy and there was no way he was gonna get out of spending time with him when he came back.
Two in the morning already and Naruto was already asleep when Sasuke arrived home.
"Tadaima" he whispered, he knew Naruto was asleep he made sure he didn't arrive home until he was he wouldn't be able to lie to him. Sometimes he wonders how the guy came to be a Hokage, sure he knew the story and was part of many of his hardship and still couldn't understand how a person came to be so trusting and so stubborn, but maybe it was exactly those traits that made people trust him in return. It's been a few years since Tsunade-sama passed away. She died protecting Konoha and entrusted the village's future to Naruto. His dream of becoming the most respected shinobi finally came true and Sakuke couldn't have been prouder, he had come a long way and he deserved it; he swore to protetc him with his own life. He loved Naruto.
And that's why he needed to be successful. It's been years since the attempt to start a war by the hands of the Akatsuki and since it was disintegrated peace was brought to all lands, new treaties were made and it was all the work of that big baka. Now there is a new danger threatening Konoha and he need to stop it before is too late. Since their Hokage was the initiator of the new bonds between the Five Countries he was being targeted. Now that there was peace it went back to how it was at the beginning, He still remembers how he came to be in the same Team as that dobe those days all he could think of was to take revenge on his brother and restore his clan. He needed power he followed it when it appeared before him but Naruto wouldn't stop believing in him, he didn't let anyone change his mind of bringing him back home. it was thanks to him that he was here and with him he was home. After taking a bath and putting his sleeping clothes he climbed up to bed besides his dobe, he couldn't help but stare at him for a while, it was a wonder how Naruto could maintain such a peaceful expression Kami-sama all the things he had to go through starting from being an orphan unwanted child in the village while he, always living behind the shadow of his older brother and later the only survivor of his clan killed by the same person he aimed to be like. They were were the same; they both had to struggle to be where they are now. They shared a bond that no one could break. He would make sure of it.
"Oyasumi, dobe" he gave him a peck on the cheek and enveloped in his arms.
"Aishitteru".
A/N: This is an old piece I wrote for my sister. Originally intended for a multichapter but I don't remember where I was going with this anymore but I guess it can work as a one-shot...
