A/N: Well, a few people asked for a oneshot SasuNaru as a follow-up to Reverence and I feel kind of bad that this won't be happening... BECAUSE THERE WILL BE MORE THAN ONE CHAPTER!!! XD Now, no saying, "Good God, when will it end?!" because this is only going to be a few chapters long. Not many at all, mainly because the entire storyline is about Sasuke getting up the guts to confess his love to Naruto and finding some pretty big obstacles in his way.

Oh, and yay for humor! I haven't done much humor lately, so this'll be a breath of fresh air.

"Uncle Sasuke!"

"Uncle Naruto!"

Sasuke and Naruto turned to see Ritsu and Reina racing down the road toward them, equal expressions of excited glee on their round little faces. Sasuke smiled in welcome to what the children's parents called "their twin terrors", while Naruto dropped to one knee to accept the tackling hug they always gave, sending him onto his back.

"Hey, guys!" the blond greeted with a laugh. "I-I mean, guy and girl," he amended when Reina gave him a silent warning via narrowing her eyes. "Did you two just get out of the academy?"

"Uh-huh!" Ritsu exclaimed, "Papa taught us the shrinken jutsu!"

"Shrinken jutsu?" Sasuke echoed, his brow furrowed with confusion.

"No, dummy!" Reina, the elder of the two siblings by all of two minutes and twenty-seven seconds—and so, obviously the wiser of the two—said in a very matter-of-fact tone. She was quite clearly her mother's daughter. "It's shuuuuuuuuurinken justu! You have to add the 'u'."

Naruto snickered. "You're both wrong."

Ritsu and Reina gave their uncle Naruto incredulous, indignant looks—how dare he correct their absolute knowledge of all things?—on their faces, but stayed quiet, apparently willing to humor the obviously misled man before them.

"It's shurinkooon. 'O' instead of an 'e'."

"Ooooh," Ritsu and Reina said, their eyes wide, adoring the genius before them.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, though he was unable to hide his grin, and stooped down, scooping one twin under each arm. "Come on, let's let Momma and Papa tell you the correct answer, okay?"

The children gave a squeal of delight as a response and he walked away.

"Hey, wait up!" Naruto exclaimed, hopping to his feet and racing after them.

"So, Uncle Sasu," Ritsu began in a conspiratorial whisper, grinning wickedly while Reina took over the last of their sentence, "Have you told Uncle Naru that you want to have his man babies yet?"

"WHAT?!" Sasuke exclaimed with surprise, tripping over his own feet.

"Goddamit, Teme!" Naruto exclaimed, in front of Sasuke in an instant, grabbing the Uchiha by his shoulders to keep him from falling forward. "Watch where you're goin', will ya?! You could have hurt the twins!"

Sasuke looked down to see his niece and nephew still held firmly against his sides by his arms wrapped around their waists. They looked like two giggling sacks of flour. He looked back up to Naruto and paused when he found the blond's face mere inches away from his own. His face was tense with worry and some frustration, but his eyes were soft as they looked into his. "I-I..." Sasuke stammered, at a loss for what to say with those two pieces of sky detained in pools of white delving into his soul.

The sound of snickers broke through the fog of the junior Uchiha's mind and he looked back down at the twins who were now watching the two adults with clear amusement. "Uncle Sasuke, Papa was right, you are way in over your head."

Sasuke could feel his cheeks flare up and he stood back to his full height, pulling away from Naruto's touch and walking again before the blond could see it.

"Over your head in what?" Naruto asked, tagging along.

"Uzumones," Ritsu and Reina answered in unison.

'Uzumones'? Sasuke thought with exasperation, What the hell are Uzumones?! Then it clicked: Uzumaki + Pheromones = Uzumones. In other words, the Sasuke-is-horny-for-Naruto gene. Dear Lord, what has Itachi been telling these kids?!

"Uzumones?" Naruto asked, "What is that, some sort of sickness?" The blond's voice was worried as he asked, "Are you sick or something, Teme?"

"Something like that," Sasuke grumbled bitterly.

When the group made it the main household in the Uchiha complex, Sasuke let the kids down on the porch with a firm command to play outside with Uncle Naru and then he stormed inside. He slammed the sliding, rice paper door shut with such force that it rattled, but he wasn't thinking about that. He shouted into the large house, "Itachi! Sakura!"

"What?" Itachi asked, walking into the room, his hand on his hip. His eyelids were droopy and his movements were slow as though he'd just woken up... but Sasuke knew better. Itachi always had to drug himself up with pain relievers after a long day of teaching at the academy.

As always, Sasuke couldn't help but wince when he saw his elder brother and his anger immediately flooded away. The burns that had once covered the right side of his body had been healed long ago and the only sign that there had been burns was the red sunburn-like skin where the scars had been, leaving it pink and shiny, prone to blistering. But that wasn't what made Sasuke cringe. It was the tied up sleeve where his right arm should have been, but wasn't... the reason why Itachi was no longer allowed to be a shinobi.

"Well...?" Itachi asked, ignoring Sasuke's lingering, pity-filled eyes as he did with everybody but Sakura.

Then, Sasuke heard the twins giggling outside while Naruto exclaimed, "I'm gonna get you!" and his anger was back tenfold. "What have you been telling those kids of yours?" he asked furiously.

"Sakura and I tell our children lots of things and you expect us to remember all of it? Be more specific."

The younger Uchiha rolled his eyes. "Man babies? 'In way over my head'? Uzumones?"

Itachi chuckled. "The last one was my creation," he said oh-so-proudly.

"I don't care who created it, I want to know why!"

"We're just rallying some SasuNaru supporters.

"Oh, for Heaven's sake, SasuNaru?!" Sasuke asked with vexation, "Who the hell created that one?"

"Actually, I think Sai came up with that one."

Sasuke paused and Itachi smiled pleasantly, innocently. "Just... Just how many people know about this, Itachi? Are we talking five, ten, fifteen people? Because that's going a little overboard in my opinion."

Itachi thought a moment, apparently doing the math. "Mmm... we told just about anybody who would listen, which was almost the entire village—excluding Naruto, of course. Oh, and Gaara, too. He told me to wish you good luck from him. He's the ultimate SasuNaru fan, you know."

"Fans. Of course," Sasuke grumbled sullenly, "It's just so great that the demented Kazekage is rooting for my homosexual relationship WITH A GODDAMN STRAIGHT MAN!"

Itachi massaged his ringing ears and said, "A lot of people are rooting for you, Sasuke. You're a real live fandom now. Konohamaru even started a yaoi club amongst the genin."

"Fan-bloody-tastic. You do realize that this now means that I have to actually come out and tell Naruto what I feel, right?"

Itachi smirked evilly. "That, my foolish little brother, was the entire point of all this."

I think I want to go back to killing him...

A/N: o.o Oh-oh... Sasu-chan's angry... and Gaara is the number one SasuNaru fan? XD Duuuude!
