~Chapter one~
Four months ago …
"Aren't you here yet, Sasuke?"
"I'm almost there, Aniki." Sasuke sighed, "Why do I have to do this anyways?"
"Because, mother and father already had an agreement made when you were little that you had to be married to an Uzumaki."
"But the 'Uzumaki' that I have to marry is a guy." Sasuke protested, "I can't marry a guy. I don't swing that way. Besides, I already have a girlfriend."
"Sorry little brother, but you can't go against mother and father's words. See you soon." with that Itachi hung up. Sasuke groaned in frustration and threw his cell phone against the passenger seat. 'I'm going to really have to marry him? … But, … Sakura …' Sasuke shook his head, 'I'm not going to lose her over this. … Uzumaki, … I swear, I'll make your life a living hell.'
Uchiha mansion …..
"Sasuke." his mother walked over to him and hugged him, "How's my little boy?"
"I'm doing just fine mother. … but, can you not call me a little boy in front of our guest?" Sasuke said with a smile.
"Sasuke." he looked over his mother and to his father. "meet Naruto Uzumaki." as he said that, Sasuke looked to the side and saw the blond he was suppose to marry. Sasuke could swear that he almost blushed at the sight of the blond.
"H-hello." Naruto said softly as he bowed his head respectively to his future husband.
"He's to be your future wife." his father explained. Sasuke sighed and looked away. He didn't like the idea but he might as well go with it. Forcing a smile on his face, Sasuke looked back at Naruto and bowed his head respectively to him, "My name is Sasuke, it's a pleasure to meet you." he stood back up straight again kept that fake smile.
'Don't worry blondie, you won't be smiling after I'm through torturing you.'
Present day …..
Naruto sat quietly on the balcony as he stared up at moon. Before he knew it, tears silently fell from his eyes and landed softly against his hands that were resting on his lap. 'I wonder what I did to make Sasuke-sama hate me so much?' another round of tears fell from his eyes. 'Maybe I don't satisfy him. … or maybe I'm just not cut out to be his wife.'
When he heard the sound of Sasuke's car coming, he quickly wiped away his tears and fixed himself properly before walking down stairs. At Sasuke's approaching footsteps outside the door, Naruto opened the door with a smile.
"Welcome back, Sasuke-sama." Naruto greeted as he took Sasuke's jacket and briefcase. "How was work?" the raven didn't even spare him a glace before walking up the stairs. Naruto sighed but hung Sasuke's jacket up before following the raven.
As Naruto walked in, Sasuke looked at him but then disappeared into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Naruto fought back his tears and went to their wardrobe. He pulled out a pair of Sasuke's pajamas and laid them out on the bed. 'Sasuke-sama must be hungry.' with one last glance at the bathroom door, Naruto went down stairs to cook something quick for the raven.
With Sasuke ….
'What is with that guy?' Sasuke thought as he let the warm water wash over him, 'He's always smiling. Even after everything that I've done to him. … I've ignored him countless times, avoided him every chance I got and even give him cold looks. What more do I have to do for you to get the hint Uzumaki?' with a sigh of frustration, Sasuke turned off the water and got out of the shower. Walking out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and a towel draped over his shoulders, he noticed the pajamas neatly placed on top of the bed.
"Even after everything you're still being nice to me." Sasuke muttered.
"Sasuke-sama." Sasuke turned at his name and sat Naruto smiling at the doorway, "Please come down for dinner after you're done changing."
"Thanks, but no thanks." Sasuke said as he took he turned away from the blond, "I've already eaten."
"Oh." he could hear the disappointment in Naruto's voice. Picking up his clothes he went back into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Naruto lowered his head and allowed a single tear fall before leaving the room.
"That idiot." Sasuke said as he leaned against the door, "Why won't he get the idea?" he was about to change when he heard a sudden vibration coming from the counter. It was his cell phone. Looking at the ID caller he sighed before answering.
"What is it you want Aniki?"
"Is that a way to talk to your older brother, Sasuke?" it was a woman's voice and it belonged to his mother.
"M-mother?" he pulled his phone back and stared at it before holding it next to his ear again, "Why do you have aniki's cell phone?"
"Because," Itachi's voice came on, "It's on speaker."
Sasuke's eyes twitched. Itachi knew he was going to be rude so that's why he used that trick against him. "So what's the occasion?"
"Oh, it's nothing dear. But remember, tomorrow we'll be coming over." his mother said happily, "I can't wait to see my Naru-chan."
"Yes," he heard his father say, "Where is Naruto? Put it on speaker so we can talk to the two of you."
"To talk to the two of us?" Sasuke looked around nervously, "Please hold." he placed the phone over his other clothes and quickly changed before taking the phone and rushing downstairs.
"Naruto!" the blond turned around and looked at him.
"Is there something the matter?" he asked as Sasuke rushed over to him.
"My parents wants to talk to us."
Of course, that's the only reason why Sasuke would be so jumpy. Sasuke placed the phone on the counter top and pressed the speaker key.
"Naruto?"
"H-hello, Mikoto-san." Naruto said.
"Oh, hello dear. And didn't I tell you to call me mom?"
"I'm sorry. Is there a reason why you're calling?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. We just wanted the two of you to know that we'll be coming to visit tomorrow." Mikoto said.
"And that we're going to be spending the night there as well." Fugaku added.
"S-spending the night here?" Sasuke asked nervously, "But, why?"
"What's wrong little brother?" Itachi asked teasingly, "Is there something that you don't want us to see?"
"Why would you say something like-" he was interrupted when his stomach started to growl. To stop from laughing, Naruto pretended to be coughing.
"Was that your stomach, Sasuke?"Mikoto asked, as she tried to stop from laughing.
"Uh, no. it was Naruto's." Sasuke lied, "Right Naruto?"
"Uh, … yeah." Naruto said without laughing.
"Sasuke Uchiha, do not lie to me. I know when your stomach is growling and when it's not. You probably didn't eat anything any thing yet right? … Naruto, cook him some food. Then turn on Sasuke's laptop and bring it into the kitchen."
"Why does he have to do that mother?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm going to watch you eat Naruto's food from the webcam. And you better eat everything that Naruto cooks too. I'll wait until you turn on your web cam. You better turn it on within five minutes or I'm going to lecture you."
"Yes mother." Sasuke sighed before leaving the room to get his laptop sitting in the living room.
"Naruto?"
"Yes, Miko-I mean mom?"
"Does Sasuke love you?" Sasuke froze at the door when he heard his mother ask that.
"Yes." Sasuke's eyes widened at Naruto's answer, "he loves me very much. He tells me every morning before he leaves work and before bed time that he loves me. He'll even tell me every chance he gets. So don't worry." Sasuke watched as a single tear fell from the blonde's eyes.
"Well, I'm glad to hear that." Mikoto said.
"We're all glad to hear you say that. If your parents were still alive, then they would be very proud of you." Fugaku added shortly.
'What?' Sasuke's eyes widened, 'His parents died? When did this-?"
"Yes." Sasuke looked back at Naruto, "… when I told Sasuke-sama that my parents past away in a car accident, he was a really good supporter. I'm glad he was by my side through …" Naruto stopped to wipe away the endless tears falling from his eyes, "I'm sorry."
"No, dear." Mikoto said sadly, "We're sorry. We shouldn't have brought it up."
A few minutes later ….
"Itadakimas." Sasuke said before he started to eat. All the food in front of him and Naruto were all Sasuke's favorite. "See." Mikoto said as she watched from the laptop screen, "It's not that bad is it? I can tell that it's all your favorite food."
"It … it tastes exactly how you make it mother." Sasuke complimented. Causing a small smile to appear across the blonde's face.
"Why don't you feed Naruto, Sasuke?" Itachi smiled, "It'll definitely, show us how much you love him."
Sasuke stopped eating and glared at his brother, "Why do you always seem to find ways to embarrass me?" Itachi just smiled innocently.
"Here Sasuke-sama." he looked up at Naruto and saw him holding a small piece of grilled fish, dipped in deep fried tomato sauce.
"Aw! Look, Fugaku." Mikoto smiled, "Naru-chan and Sasuke are really in love with each other."
The raven slightly blushed and ate it before eating some rice to go with it. When they finished eating they said goodnight to Sasuke's parents and Itachi before turning the laptop off.
"You can go to bed if you're tired," Naruto said softly without looking at Sasuke, "I'll clean up here."
"Naruto." the blond stopped and looked at the raven, "Why?"
"Why what?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke looked at him, "Why didn't you tell me when your parents died?" Naruto froze and lowered his head, his bangs covering his face.
"Because, … I didn't want to burden you." Naruto looked up and forced a smile on his face, "It's okay. You were really busy and …" tears fell from his eyes, "I'm sorry." he said before rushing into the kitchen. 'Great Naruto, now you're an even bigger burden to him.' he thought as he tried to stop his tears.
The raven stood by the door and leaned against the frame as he watched the blond cry his heart out. 'Sasuke, you can't get soft on him. … remember, you have to get him to hate you as much as possible. … but, just for tonight, maybe letting him off won't hurt.' Sasuke turned and walked away.
The next day ….(at Sasuke's workplace)
Sasuke laid down his pen and pushed the papers in front of him away as he stretched. Massaging the back of his neck he heard a knock at his office door. "Come in." Sasuke called out. The door opened and his secretary walked in. "I'm sorry to interrupt Sasuke-san, but, Miss Sakura is here to see you."
"Send her in." Sasuke said before straightening himself up. When the pinkette walked in, and his secretary closed the door, she walked over to him and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"I missed you." Sakura smiled. Sakura pulled her so that she was sitting on his lap, "I missed you too. … God, I wish I can just marry you here and now."
She giggled and rested her forehead against his, "But, … you're already married remember."
"I know. But my heart is with you." Sasuke said and kissed her lips.
"This feels wrong though Sasuke." Sakura whispered, "sneaking around like this."
"I know. I promise, I'll get Naruto to leave as soon as possible. I can't just ask for divorce for reason at all. Once he's gone, then I'll marry you."
"Promise?"
"Promise." they were about to kiss again but stopped at the sound of Sasuke's phone ringing. Sasuke groaned and answered it.
"Hello?"
"… Sasuke-sama?"
"What is it you want Naruto? I have no time for this." Sasuke said in a cold voice.
"I just wanted to remind you that your parents will arrive at three so-"
"Is that all?" Sasuke interrupted, "If it is then bye." he hung up and leaned against the chair.
With Naruto …
Naruto closed his phone as he heard the dial tone coming from the other line. He laid the phone on the counter beside him and he walked out on the terraced by the kitchen. Standing by the rails, Naruto sighed as he felt a gentle breeze brush past him. "What a nice day we're having." Naruto whispered, "If only, … I could spend days like this with the one I love."
Three o'clock …
"Hello, mom, dad and Itachi-san." Naruto greeted as he opened the door to the three.
"Hello, darling." Mikoto smiled as she walked in and gave Naruto a heartfelt hug, "How was your day today?"
"Lovely." Naruto answered.
"Where's Sasuke?" Fugaku asked, "Isn't he going to come and greet us?"
"Yeah," Itachi said as he looked around, "Where is my lovely little brother?"
"Uh, … he's … he's on his way." Naruto nervously smiled. When everyone walked into the living room, Naruto sighed and closed the door. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed Sasuke's number.
"Hello? Sasuke-sama?" Naruto said as he heard the other line pick up.
"This is Sasuke's phone," Naruto froze as he heard a girl answer, "Sasuke's too busy to answer the phone. May I ask who's calling?"
"Uh, … please, just tell him that his parents are home. That's all." Naruto said before hanging up.
"Oi! Naruto, where did you go?" Itachi called from the other room.
"C-coming." Naruto called back before rushing into the kitchen to get the refreshments for his in-laws.
Meanwhile …..
Sakura stared at the phone as the person hung up. "Sasuke?" she turned to the raven who was driving.
"Who was it?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know. It was a boy," Sakura answered, "He said that your parents are home. Whatever that means."
"Oh." Sasuke's eyes widened, "WHAT?" he looked at her. She repeated the message and he groaned in frustration.
"That was Naruto." when he said that Sakura's eyes widened.
"W-what?"
"Crap! I forgot my parents were coming to see me and him."
"Just drop me off here and go."
"What? No. I can't do that." Sasuke said. Sakura placed a hand on his, "It's okay. I wanted to do some shopping before going home anyways."
Sasuke looked at Sakura and finally pulled over to the side of a sidewalk. "Bye." she said before getting out and closing the door. Sasuke watched as she walked away and quickly sped home.
Back to Naruto ….
"Why hasn't Sasuke returned yet Naruto?" Fugaku asked. Naruto looked out the window and back at him, "M-maybe there's traffic."
"But it's already four." Itachi said, "He should've been here by now."
"Uh …"
"I'm home!" Sasuke called as he walked through the door, holding a bouquet of flowers.
"There you are." Mikoto smiled. "Where have you been?"
"I was just at the store," he looked at Naruto, "I wanted to get my wife some flowers." Sasuke walked over to the blond and gave it to him. Naruto smiled and let the scent engulf him.
"Their so beautiful." Naruto looked at Sasuke, "Thank you. … are you hungry?"
"Starving." Sasuke smiled.
"I'll go prepare you some food then." Naruto said before walking away. Mikoto and Fugaku following.
"Sasuke," he turned to his brother, "Where were you really?"
"I told you I was at the-"
"You're lying." Itachi said, "Don't try to fool me little brother. You may have fooled mother and father but you can't fool me. You were with Sakura weren't you?"
"How did-?"
"I can smell her scent on you." Itachi answered, "You don't were that kind of girly perfume, and Naruto probably caught that too." with that he walked out of the room. Leaving a dumbfounded raven.
An hour later …...
Sasuke was walking back downstairs as he met Naruto on the way. "You're done taking your shower, Sasuke-sama?"
"Yes." he answered.
"Then please come down for dinner." Naruto smiled before walking to the kitchen. Sasuke sighed, "Him and his patience." he muttered and followed the blond.
"So, Sasuke?" his father asked as they began eating the western food that Naruto cooked, "How's everything been with you and Naruto?"
"Great." Sasuke said as he ate.
"Then why does it seem like you two are so distant?" Itachi asked. Sasuke stopped and looked at him, "What about you Itachi? How are things with you?"
"We're not talking about me Sasuke."
Naruto saw the tension building between the two and decided to break it. "Here Sasuke-sama." he got a slice of sliced turnip with his fork and held it to Sasuke's lips. The raven looked at Naruto before taking it into his mouth.
"So, Naruto?" Mikoto smiled, "Why haven't you and Sasuke gone to a honeymoon yet? It's been four months already."
"Well, … Sasuke-sama has been really busy with work. Besides, I don't really mind not going to a honeymoon. As long as I get to stay by Sasuke's side I'm happy and content."
"That's really good to hear." Fugaku said, "Sasuke, why haven't you take your wife somewhere for vacation?"
"I want to but I can never find the right place to take Naruto to. I don't want to take him just anywhere." Sasuke answered as he took a sip of his wine.
"It's fine, dad. Really. I'm happy just the way everything is. As long as I'm with Sasuke." Naruto insisted. Fugaku looked between the two and continued eating.
After dinner, Itachi and the others went into the living room as Sasuke helped Naruto clear the table.
"Thank you." Sasuke whispered to Naruto.
"For what?" Naruto asked and gave Sasuke a smile, "This is what I should do." when they finished cleaning up, they went into the living room and sat on the couch by Sasuke's parents.
"The food was delicious Naruto." Mikoto complemented.
"Yes." Sasuke said as he wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist and rested his chin on the blonde's shoulder, "It was wonderful." Naruto blushed and looked away from everyone. Mikoto giggled, "Oh, Naru-chan, you shouldn't get embarrassed. You two are so adorable together."
Later that night …
"Goodnight dear." Mikoto said as they went to the rooms that Naruto had prepared for them. Naruto smiled and went back to his and Sasuke's room. When he entered, he expected the room to be empty as usual but to his surprise Sasuke was in there.
"S-Sasuke-sama. …." Naruto closed the door behind him, "Are you not sleeping in your office tonight?"
"Knowing my mother, she'll come in to check if we're sleeping on the same bed." Sasuke said coldly, "Only for tonight will I stay in here. If it weren't for my parents then I won't even come a inch close to you."
"Oh." Naruto lowered his head but quickly brushed the sadness off. "I'm going to take a shower." he said before disappearing into the bathroom.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and sat on the bed. He heard his phone ring and answered it within a second.
"Sakura." he sighed in relief, "You have no idea how much I want to see you right now."
"Me too. I miss you so much. I wish I can see you right now."
"Just wait for a little longer love, I promise, I'll get him out of my life."
"Okay. … Oyasumi. Sasuke, my love."
"Oyasumi, Sakura." with that, he hung up and sighed again. 'But, whatever I do … he always seem to have a way to make me feel sorry for him.'
When another few minutes past, Naruto walked out of the bathroom, already changed into his pajamas. At the sight of him, Sasuke couldn't help but look. Never in the four months did he sleep in the same room as the blond so he never got to see how lovely Naruto looked after he took a shower. And, now, he couldn't seem to look away. The way the blonde's hair a slightly still drenched and the smell of his shampoo filling the air. When their eyes met, Sasuke looked away and laid down on the bed. Naruto finished properly drying his hair and walked to his side of the bed.
"You haven't gone to sleep yet, Sasuke-sama?" Naruto asked. But Sasuke didn't answer. He sighed and got under the covers.
"Oyasumi nasai, Sasuke-sama." he said before turning off the lamp on his side and tried to go to sleep. Sasuke turned off his light as well and got under the covers. When they heard footsteps approaching their room Sasuke scooted over and wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist. Naruto didn't protest to it, he was actually happy. Even though it was for a brief minute, he wanted time to stop. 'Even though it's just for show,' Naruto smiled, 'It's all I'm asking for.'
They both closed their eyes as they heard their door opened. Hearing a small giggle, they knew that it was Sasuke's mother. Even after Naruto heard the door closed, Sasuke didn't pull away. He had fallen asleep.
