Naruto's POV

I quickly fished my house keys out of my pocket and unlocked the door to my shared home. It had been raining the entire time I was on my mission so by now I was soaked threw to my underwear. Just as I was about to walk forward into the home I was stopped by the raven that I loved.

"Your mission ran a little late eh? Stay there so you don't track water all over the floor; I'll go get you a towel." Sasuke said before walking off into our shared home.

Me Naruto age17 now currently living with my best friend, my boyfriend, my lover, my Sasuke age 19. To tell you the truth it was nice but sometimes Sasuke being such a neat freak really gets on my nerves.

"Here dobe." Sasuke said coming back with a fresh towel and wrapping it around my neck.

"What's the big deal of getting water on the floor? It's just water, it'll dry!" I said annoyed as I dried my wet blonde hair.

"It'll leave water stains on the floor; oh and take off your shoes to you'll track mud everywhere." I mumbled something under my breath and kicked off my shoes; of course Sasuke had to bend down and straighten them up next to his.

"I'm glad your home...I missed you." Sasuke said leaning forward to kiss me on the lips; that definitely perked up my mood!

"I missed you to; did you save me some dinner? I'm starving." I said rubbing my growling stomach.

"Of course I did, I didn't even start eating yet. I thought it would be rude if I ate without you...and kind of lonely." Sasuke said giving me another peck on the lips.

"Mmm I can't wait!" I said excitedly walking towards the kitchen; I gasped when I was suddenly grabbed by the back of my shirt and pulled back to my previous position. "Before we eat I think you should take a nice hot shower first." Sasuke said smiling at me.

"I'll shower afterwards; I'm really hungry, I was on a mission all day and I didn't get to eat anything." I groaned.

"You'll feel a lot better if you take one now and you won't have to rush to finish eating to go take your shower. It doesn't even have to be a long one; dinner Is still pretty hot so while you take a shower you can let it cool down." I sighed and moved past the raven, I smiled as I got to the bathroom door an idea popping into my head.

"Do you want to come in the shower with me?" I asked wrapping my arms around the taller male's neck; he grinned and kissed me sweetly on the cheek.

"You know I want to but I have to clean the mud off of your shoes so they will be clean for tomorrow. We can take a shower together tomorrow morning ok?" Sasuke gave me a quick kiss on the lips again before leaving me to go tend to my muddy shoes.

"I won't be here tomorrow."I thought as I went to go take my shower. After cleaning up and putting on a fresh pair of clothes I went to go sit in at the dining table with my love.

"Did your mission go ok today?" Sasuke asked; I rubbed the back of my neck nervously and nodded.

"You look like something's bothering you...is there something you want to tell me?" now that was typical; Sasuke always had a way of knowing when something was bothering me.

"I got a new assignment today...It's an extended mission...longer than anything I've ever done before."

"Oh really? That must be good if you're getting higher classified missions. How long is it? Like a week or so?"

"...More like a year...maybe longer..." Sasuke's head shot up to look into my sorrowful eyes.

"A year...but...that means I won't be able to see you for that whole time!" Sasuke said clenching his hands into fists.

"I know but I had to accept it, it's not like I could have just said no...I'm sorry Sasuke..." I watched as Sasuke stood up from the table and moved over to sit next to me.

"When do you have to leave?" Sasuke asked moving his hand into mine and intertwining our fingers.

"Tomorrow morning." I said sadly; he moved his free arm around my waist and hugged me tightly.

"At least we still have tonight together." Sasuke said trying to look at the bright side of things. I smiled wirily and nodded; nuzzling up against his side.

"Why don't you go wait for me in our room while I clean up in here ok?" Sasuke said nibbling at my neck playfully; I grinned and quickly shot towards the bedroom. I rolled my eyes at the clean sheets that had been put on it and flopped down on the made up bed. "I guess I could call Sasura while I wait." I thought grabbing my cell phone and dialing my pink haired friend's number; it rang a few times before she answered.

"Hello Sakura." I said in my normal cheerful mood.

"Oh hello Naruto I heard you are going on a yearlong mission congratulations on getting such an honor! How are things going with you and Sasuke?"

"Ugh that's what I wanted to talk to you about I'm actually a little glad to be going away for so long. Sasuke is driving me crazy; it's like the slightest mess throws him off the edge."

"Haha that does sound like him; he's so sweet but he really takes cleaning to a new level."

"It's so annoying, he's always picking up my clothes and organizing them into outfits that he likes and making me eat all healthy instead of letting me eat my ramen." I said angrily.

"He only does that because he loves you and wants to take care of you."

"...I know, and I want to do the same for him but there's never anything to do for him because he takes care if everything for me."

"Well the main point is that he loves you and wants to be with you for a long time. He just wants you to love him as much as he loves you."

"I already do though! I love him with all my heart. I think a little time away from him will be good though. Anyway thanks for talking with me Sakura but I have to go now; Sasuke will be back soon.k

"Alright glad I could help and good luck on your mission!" I hung up the phone and smiled as I saw my raven haired lover walk into the room.

Sasuke's POV

I literally felt like my heart had been crushed and stomped on right in front of me. Naruto, the one that I loved and couldn't go a day without had called me annoying...he was annoyed with me because of how much I try to take care of him.

I couldn't tell him that I had heard what he had said to Sasura; so I kept smiling as a crawled up his slim body and started biting and nibbling at his neck.

"I love you so much Naruto." Naruto smiled and wrapped his arms tightly around my neck.

"I love you to Sasuke."

Author's Note: poor Sasuke all he wants to do is care and love his beloved dobe! Well I hoped you liked this chapter because there will be many more to come! Favorite review, alert please! :)))
