Discaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Avery

By: Karasu Kyra

A blonde man walked into an apartment and took off his coat, hat, gloves, and boots. He walked into the living room and smiled at the dark-haired man who was sitting there watching a music video. When the other man looked up, the blonde-haired person leaned down, kissed him chastely on the lips, and then slid into his lap, wrapping his arms around his neck. "Sasuke…"

"Naruto," Sasuke Uchiha said, raising an eyebrow with a look in his eye that said, 'I know you're up to something'.

Naruto Uzumaki replied, "I think we should get a cat."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "No."

"Ple-ase? Please, please, please? I'll take care of him and clean his litter box and feed him, and-and-"

"And you sound like a five-year old speaking to his mother," said the ebony-haired man, pushing the blonde off his lap and onto the couch beside him.

"But I really want this cat!"

"And I really can't take you seriously when you whine like that," the Uchiha flipped the channel.

"At least look at them! Come with me, tomorrow, and we'll look at the animal shelter."

"No."

"What if I'll make it worth your while," asked Naruto, getting close to the dark-haired man's face, his voice husky.

Sasuke's gaze slid over to the blonde. He kept a neutral mask and asked, "Oh? And how is that?"

Naruto pressed his lips to the other man's neck, sucking and biting lightly. He kept up his ministrations until he got a moan out of his boyfriend before pulling away and saying, "You'll just have to see!"

"…Fine," the Uchiha reluctantly agreed.

Sasuke cringed as a screaming child was practically dragged out of the shelter by her mother. He then turned back to the giddy Naruto, who was currently trying to woo a cat. A flash of irrational jealousy went through the dark-haired man.

"You're trying harder to win that cat's favor than you did my own."

"Oh, not quite, love. You haven't any idea. You should listen to Kiba bitch once and a while. You'd hear pretty interesting stories about when I was trying to get your attention."

Sasuke scoffed. "Sure, Naruto. All he talks about are dogs."

"Which is why I'm getting a cat!"

Sasuke smirked slightly. "You're trying to piss your best friend off?"

Naruto shifted his eyes elsewhere and muttered, "Maybe."

And then he froze. The Uchiha followed his line of sight, right to a kitten. This kitten was pure white and had eyes as blue as Naruto's. She was purring and rubbing against her cage. "I want her," Naruto said promptly."

Sasuke sighed and looked into his boyfriend's pleading eyes. "Fine."

Naruto jumped and then took the other man's face in his hands and kissed him. "You're the best."

The blonde ran to the front desk and explained which cat he wanted and then was grinning all the way to the car with her.

"She's unnamed, so I think I'm going to name her Avery," Naruto said once they were in their apartment with her.

"If that's what you want."

The blonde looked up at the brooding Sasuke.

"What's with you?"

"Nothing."

"I think someone's grumpy!" The blonde practically danced over to his boyfriend.

Sasuke glared. "I think you owe me something."

Naruto smiled at him, wrapping his arms around the Uchiha's shoulders. "How about we go into the bedroom and see what it is I owe you.
