Sasuke's P.O.V.
"For the right price, I think we can work something out."
"Audi or Benz?" Yahiko asked.
"Tesla"
"Done."
Can I really do this?
One year later
"Have a good first day of work Sasuke, Miko and I will see you when you get home."
"Sounds great, I love you Naruto, Miko." I said kissing my two great loves.
"Love you too." He kissed me deeply once more then Itachi and I walked out to my 2018 model X Tesla and got in.
"I can't believe your old company gave you a car just so you would stay on with them and only work part time with Kakashi." Itachi said getting into the passenger's seat.
"Hey, two part time jobs makes a full time pay check, and they knew working for Kakashi was where I really wanted to be. This is the best of both worlds, even you get the benefit of all of this."
"Mmmhmm picking up my kid brother's slack while he's off working on site for his other company. Yeah, that's what I want."
"You're on an part time engineers salary now and you actually have days off to, you know, be human. This is a good deal Itachi."
"A Tesla, how pompous."
"Oh you love it and you know it." I said pulling out of the parking lot and driving to the office. Everything is coming together. I finally have a real nine to five, with great benefits and perks. I'm now officially a partner with the Akatsuki, although their exotic sexcapades are still included in my contract. My daughter is 16 months old and walking, trying to talk, I graduated college, Naruto is ahead in the polls, everything is great. Itachi and I are both sharing one full time job essentially, which is fine, so long as I can hide the security breaches from him and the rest of the company. Life is not only good, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. Besides the whole lying aspect of it…
When I pulled up to the company parking lot, Itachi gave me an uncomfortable look.
"What now?"
"A rookie driving up in a Tesla, Kakashi doesn't even drive a Tesla. You won't make friends here fast."
"Not trying to, plus I have you, what more could I need?" I laughed getting out. Itachi and I walked into the building and I was shown to my office, well rather my shared office with Itachi. I drive a Tesla, but I don't have my own office, tragic. The Akatsuki gave me my own office.
Kakashi showed me around, there were several security monitors looking all over the Land of Fire and it's boarders. It will take me some time to fix the algorithm to get shipments through, but I can do it. My job in this place is to continue to update the system to stop foreign hackers from slipping through our boarders, as well as look into their servers to try and hack theirs; The first line of offense and defense for our nation. This type of computing is beyond complicated. No wonder Itachi uses his sharingan all the time. Five minutes into doing my new job and I already had to activate my sharingan just to read the code. Man this is intense. So that's what Itachi does all day, everyday. Try to crack codes. Every now and then Itachi would get called into a strategy meeting or Kakashi would hand me a cryptic letter I had to decode and check for threats. I can't believe Itachi does this all day. This completely sucks.
I had a flicker before I left work; This particular one was accompanied by a full on nose bleed at that. I was sitting in my office, tissue to my nose when I heard someone come in. Couldn't see them cause you know, blind during the flicker and all.
"When did your nose start bleeding during a flicker?" It was Itachi.
"This would be the first time."
"Maybe this job is too much for you."
"It's just a nose bleed."
"During a flicker. I know you can't see me right now, and your head is killing you." He said putting ice on my forehead. The small brain bleeds causing headaches during flickers I've become completely accustomed to at this point.
"Stop it, I'm fine."
"First your nose starts bleeding, then your eyes whenever you use your sharingan, next thing you know your organs start rotting and you're coughing up blood every second of the day." Itachi said before letting out a gruesome cough.
"You're one to talk, you're sight is all but gone even with the corrective surgeries."
"Which is exactly why I don't want you to end up like me. No more sharingan Sasuke. When you regain your sight, Kakashi said we can go home for the day." He left the room. Ugh, this better be worth it. After a few minutes my sight returned, but when I stood up I started coughing. I looked in the tissue and there was blood. Damn it. No way I'm letting Itachi know that. I chucked the tissue in the trashcan furthest from my office and took Itachi home. We went inside and Naruto was in the phone.
"Yes...yes...that's right...how soon?... Mmhmm...Yes...Thank you so much! Yes! Thank you... mmhmm... alright good bye." He looked at me his eyes absolutely sparkling, than ran at me jumping into my arms.
"They accepted our offer! Sasuke we're buying a house!" He screamed before kissing me and wrapping his legs around me.
"No way that's incredible! I can't believe it!"
"Believe it babe! We're homeowners!" He was so happy; this is great! We actually just bought a house! Yes, it's a small four-bedroom one-story house, but it has a backyard for Miko to play, and it's close to Naruto's parents, we'd even have enough room if we wanted to expand our family one day.
"That's fantastic! I'm really happy for you guys." Itachi smiled.
"Well Itachi, Sasuke and I talked about it and if you wanted to, we'd like to invite you to come live with us, if you wanted to of course." He's my big brother, and he's more sick than ever, his room would be on the far side by the kitchen, it's private and bigger than the room he has now. This was the biggest reason why we made an offer on this house, to keep Itachi close by. He has no one else, and I don't want my blind brother living by himself.
"I wouldn't want impose." He said softly.
"Never, we picked this place for you, please, stay with us." I said taking his hand.
"Well... alright, when do we move?"
"As early as next week, as soon as it passes all the inspections."" Naruto said all giddy. I couldn't help but hug him and kiss him on the cheek.
"This calls for a celebration." Itachi said reaching for the unopened bottle of champagne left over from graduation.
"Yes! I agree!" Naruto said getting three red solo cups from the pantry as Itachi popped the champagne. I picked up Mikoshina and straddled her around my shoulders. She squealed with excitement.
"To new beginnings."
"To new beginnings!"
Naruto's P.O.V.
"Sasuke."
"Yeah?" He asked turning to me in bed, his eyes still sleepy.
"We bought a house teme!"
"We bought a house dobe." He leaned in and kissed me. "We're gonna be broke for like the next five years of our lives."
"You're getting paid like a boss now and when I get elected, so will I. We can totally afford this." He kissed me again.
"I guess your right. When are Kiba and Shikamaru coming over to help us move?"
"I told them eight. What about Juugo, Suigetsu, and Karin?"
"Well you know Karin is doing her Masters in the Grass Nation now, so she won't be coming. But Juugo and Sui should be here any minute, they're picking up the moving truck."
"Oh right, I forgot about Karin. Is Juugo doing okay? I haven't seen him since the funeral."
"He's been through a lot, losing his unborn baby, then his husband in the same year. I'm hoping this move and hanging with the four of us like old times will help him out a bit."
"I forgot, we've been so happy and he's in so much pain. I hope he's alright."
"It's been half a year, it's not as raw as it was. Come on, we should get moving, we're not even totally packed yet." He said getting out of bed and waking up Miko. He changed her diaper and gave her to me to feed her. I going to start weaning her soon, she doesn't have teeth yet, but they're coming and fast. She's already having teething fits and making sleep very difficult for the whole house. Sasuke came back with a box and started taking the sheets and blankets off the bed.
"We are not letting the master bedroom get out of hand the way this room did."
"Mmhmm." I will never be able to live up to Sasuke's standard of clean. We both know that's not happening.
"No hurricane Naruto. I'm serious."
"Sure." He rolled his eyes and threw a pillow at me. There was a knock on the front door and Sasuke went to get it while I finished feeding Mikoshina.
"Kisame!" I heard from the other room. Kisame?
"The Uchiha brothers! Hey guys!" Alright, I have to see who this Kisame person is. I finished with Miko then took her hand and walked her to the living room. Sasuke saw us and picked Miko up.
"Kisame, this is my boyfriend Naruto and our daughter Mikoshina. Naruto this is Kisame." Sasuke said as I shook his hand. He sort of resembled a shark, teeth and all. Who is this guy?
"Kisame was my best friend in high school and college, but we haven't seen each other in years. What are you doing here?" Itachi said giving Kisame a big hug.
"Well you told me on the phone last week that you were moving, figured I'd lend a hand and my truck. Come on Tach, let's get you packed up and catch up."
Kisame said as Itachi lead him to his room.
"Itachi has a friend?" I asked when I was certain they were out of earshot.
"One. Yes. Who he hasn't seen since I probably graduated high school. That's my brother for you." He said as he answered the door again. It was Suigetsu and Juugo. "Hey guys, come on in."
"Yeah, yeah let's just get this over with, Sasuke owes me two beers for every hour I'm here." Suigetsu said grabbing just some random box and taking it out of the apartment.
"He's just trying to power through this, I'll make sure he doesn't break any of your stuff."
"Thanks Juugo, you're the best." Sasuke said as Juugo gave a warm smile and took another box outside as Sasuke and I started packing up what was left to be packed. A while later my mom came by to take Miko so she wasn't in our hair for the move and then Shikamaru, Kiba and Choji showed up about forty minutes later. Damn I didn't know Choji was coming, I promised them all pizza, but I might go broke feeding Choji too. Especially now that his girlfriend is having a kid too; he's finding any excuse possible for us to buy him food. Lord.
It took about four hours to get everything out of the apartment completely. It really helped that Juugo and Kisame were there, it was like they were having a competition of who could lift the heaviest thing and carry it the furthest out of the apartment. The Uchiha's friends really kicked my friends butt in the department of usefulness. Shikamaru used every excuse he could think of to be lazy, Choji mostly stayed in the kitchen and ate more food than he packed, and Kiba, well Kiba doesn't work out as much as the rest of us, I'll just say that.
When Kisame's truck was completely full they took off, followed by Juugo and Suigetsu in the moving truck, while Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji piled into my car. Sasuke and I were doing final checks before we headed out in the Tesla. I absolutely love that car, I'm still in shock Sasuke even got it. I guess his internship really loved him. As I finished my checks, I noticed Sasuke pulled out a briefcase from behind the fridge.
"What's that?"
"Just important documents, birth certificates, social security cards, passports, stuff like that." He said not looking at me.
"Oh... is Miko's in there? I can't find it anywhere."
"Your mom has it."
"Ohh...alright then. Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, let's get out of here." We said goodbye to the apartment, turned in our keys and drove to our new house after picking up some pizza for the boys. Sixty bucks in pizza, Jesus. We got to the house and while everyone was eating Sasuke and I looked around the house, deciding where everything was going to go. We got to the master bedroom and Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks. Shikamaru did what I asked him to do. I suddenly got very nervous.
Slowly Sasuke walked to the middle of the room and pick up the blue velvet box sitting alone in the empty room. I got on one knee.
"Sasuke I know we've had our ups and downs, but when I'm with you I feel like my life is complete. We have the most beautiful daughter together, we've bought a house, I honestly can't think of a better time. I can't imagine my life without you in it. I want to wake up next to you everyday for the rest of our lives. You make me unbelievably happy and I want make you as happy as I am forever, Sasuke Uchiha, will you marry me?" He turned around and saw that I was on one knee and had the actual ring in my hand. I knew I had a big goofy smile on my face, but I didn't care. Please say yes. Please say yes!
Sasuke smiled then reached into his pocket, pulling out a box of his own, and joining me on one knee. He opened the box for me. That beautiful Uchiha clan ring.
"Only if you will marry me too." He grinned with a blush.
"Yes!" I said nearly tackling him with a hug. I kissed him to death before he stopped me so we could put the actual engagement rings on.
"I love you so much!"
"I love you too."
