"Are you cheating on me?" Naruto asked looking down at the beautiful twins, boy and girl resting near him on the couch.
Sasuke looked at the blond. Naruto wasn't facing him. The blindingly orange shirt on Naruto that had fit the blond before he was pregnant seemed to engulf him in its material.
"What do you mean?"
"You've been ignoring me, and have only been here because of the babies. I don't want to be lied to anymore so please just tell me," Naruto pleaded finally looking at him straight in the eyes.
"Yeah, I am," Sasuke said guilt and shame withheld from his confession.
Naruto looked down. He had asked for it, and he got it.
"Okay," he whispered standing placing one the infants in his arm, and preparing for the other to be in his arms also, "thanks for not lying to me. And its cool, the you sleeping around thing, it's totally fine. We did agree to be just friends with benefits. Who said we had to be exclusive?" Sasuke looked at Naruto as the blond walked swiftly to the babies' room. "You can do what you want, just please don't touch me or our children."
Before Sasuke could respond, not that he had anything to say, the door closed.
Sasuke spent all night awake waiting for the blond to come out to speak to him, but he never did. He didn't even hear the cries of his newborn children through the night.
As morning rolled around Sasuke became curious as to what happened, and opened the door.
He was shocked when he opened the door to find the room empty, and the window open with the curtains flowing in the light breeze passing through. Sasuke moved quickly to his own room and looked for Naruto's things.
Everything had been emptied. He wondered briefly whether something had happened, but found the envelop with his name in a cursive scrawl lying evilly on top of his thin pillow.
Opening it he read Naruto's words written in his handwriting that Sasuke had never taken the chance to tell the blond he thought was beautiful.
Dear Sasuke,
You're probably wondering "Where is he? The kids?" or anything related to the whereabouts of me and the children, and the answer is: None of your business. Regardless of what I said infidelity was never apart of the deal. Plus, I thought we were past the "friend with benefits" thing, but I was obviously was wrong. That is usually the way things turn out when your involved.
The kids are going to be fine, and you'll be able to see them again. Soon. I don't know exactly how long it will take, but when I am able to. . . I can't explain it, and I won't take the time to explain it to you since I am trying to leave before you can catch me, sorry. Just know when I'm done you will see our two gorgeous children.
I'm not asking for a divorce or anything so the alliance followed by our marriage is safe. Strained but safe. I'll move on with my life, and you can move on with your life, and whatever that entails whether its forgetting my existence or whatever as long as you remember your children.
Love, Sasuke could still read that word even though it was crossed out vehemently with pen,
Sincerely, Naruto
P.S. I'm sorry to say this, but if you try to follow me I will take legal action, and make sure you never see the twins again.
Sasuke sat down on the floor, and stared at the note. So this was the price he was told that he would have to pay to advance. Why had he been so stupid to say that he would give anything?
He closed his eyes, and decided to wait. . .
Another one that may or may not be finished. Once again the waiting game.
