"Great," Naruto mumbled as Sasuke approached them.

"Fathew?" Tetsu watched as his father stood in front of them.

This was the first time Sasuke had showed up at the kindergarten personally, and both Naruto and Tetsuya were shocked.

"Hello," Sasuke flashed them a small smile. "I've come here to talk as you said, sensei."

"Oh," Naruto gulped, somehow worriedly. "Okay then, please come inside."

Naruto took the two Uchihas inside and directed them to the teacher's desk where Iruka was collecting his things.

The classroom was big and spacious. Windows covered nearly every wall, so the kids would get natural light as much as possible. Little colorful tables were everywhere and there were pillows to sit on. The works of children was on a wall, and under that there were little mattresses for them to sleep on. The sleeping side was divided by a counter from the main area which held the toys and the tools for kids to use.

"Ah, Uchiha-san," Iruka was really surprised to see him. Normally no member of Uchiha household would come to the kindergarten personally. If it was a really important thing, an employee from the mansion would be sent.

Naruto nodded at Sasuke, and took Tetsuya away from the two chatting adults. He knew that Iruka would tell Sasuke what a good and well mannered child Tetsuya was, which was the truth. But Naruto saw beyond that, and he felt like it was time to open Sasuke's eyes.

"Come Tet-chan," Naruto knelt in front of a small table and Tetsu did the same. "Why don't you draw something for your father while we wait?"

Tetsu nodded and took his drawing book and crayons from his little backpack. "W'at should I dwaw?"

"Hmm," Naruto tapped chin. "Let's ask father, okay?"

Tetsu nodded quickly, his little hands trembling slightly.

"Sasuke-san," Naruto called out, immediately drawing the young father's attention. "Tet-chan's gonna draw you something. What would you like?"

"Uhmm," Sasuke curved his lips downwards. "A car?"

"A car!" Naruto repeated happily. "Come on Tet-chan, did you hear your father? He wants a car from you!"

Tetsu nodded with a bright smile and started drawing immediately. Naruto watched him silently for a while and stood up as he saw Iruka leaving and Sasuke approaching them silently.

"Please go behind the counter, and watch closely," Naruto whispered and Sasuke nodded slowly, not understanding what's happening.

After sending Sasuke away, but close enough to see and hear them, Naruto kneeled beside Tetsu again.

The little raven looked up and then around. "W'ere is fathew?"

"He went to restroom," Naruto said assuringly. "Oh, this car's going to be so good!"

After hearing the word good, Tetsu tore the sheet and threw it away, immediately starting on a new car.

Naruto frowned. "What's wrong Tet-chan? That was a really good car."

"No!" Tetsu yelled. "It has to be pewfect!"

"Why is that?" Naruto pressed on.

"B-Beca'se fathew wo'n love me if I'm not pewfect," Tetsu said and frowned as he painted his car.

"Why not?" Naruto asked softly as he stroked the child's raven locks.

"Fathew always wowks, and nevew comes home. Mothew always goes somewhew, grandfathew nevew looks at me," Tetsuya wiped his tears angrily and then added, "It's all my fault."

"Why do you think so?" Naruto asked hardly as tears started to gather in his eyes.

"Beca'se I'm not pewfect. I always do somethin' wrong," Tetsu nodded. "If I can be the best child, fathew will love me!"

Naruto sniffed and turned to Sasuke with red eyes, who was watching the scenery with wide eyes.

Sasuke's heart throbbed painfully with each word that left his son's lips.

He had never realized he was putting such a heavy burden on his baby son's little shoulders and heart. He had never thought of breaking the chain Uchiha family had crated ages ago. Uchihas have to be perfect. Smart, collected, they shouldn't show their affection to anyone. What they felt, they had to keep it inside. But, wasn't Sasuke once a child like his own son? He remembered how he craved for his father's approval, a small smile that would let Sasuke know that he actually cared. Something, anything, to indicate that his father was aware of his presence. And after that accident, where they lost the two members of their family, Uchiha Fugaku had turned into a complete stone, leaving Sasuke to grow up by himself.

But now, here he was, repeating the same mistake of his father's, of his grandfather's. Did he really have a right to ruin his only child's life like this?

Taking a shaky breath, Sasuke took in the sight of Naruto's beautiful and saddened face and got up slowly. He went to his son's side and kneeled slowly.

"Fathew!" Tetsu exclaimed as he saw his hero sitting beside him. "It's not weady yet! B-But, I pwomise it will be the best!"

"I-" Sasuke cleared his throat; there was a strange bump in there, preventing him from speaking. "I already love it. It's the most beautiful car I've ever seen."

Tetsu's eyes widened as he dropped the red crayon he was holding. "W-wreally?"

"Yes, it's even more beautiful than my cars," Sasuke nodded excitedly, making his son smile widely.

"Did you heaw that, Nawu-chan?" Tetsu turned to his teacher, who was watching the two Uchihas with a smile and shiny eyes.

Naruto nodded wildly, causing a few tears to spill around like pearls. "I already told you, it's the most perfect car!"

"N-Nawu-chan, daddy loves me!" Tetsu exclaimed happily and then looked down quickly, realizing his mistake. "I-I'm sowwy siwr. I did'n mean to call you like that."

Sasuke frowned. There were many things he had to make right. "Who told you not to call me like that?"

"Mothew said that it's not pwopew," Little raven nodded, still looking at ground.

With a deep sigh Sasuke opened his arms. "Come here son,"

Tetsu's eyes widened but immediately, he crawled into his father's lap. It was the first time for him and the sensations he got in the little amount of time were enough to leave him breathless.

Sasuke hugged his son tightly, feeling a strange satisfaction he had never gotten before. He was such a fool to deprive both his son and himself from this bond and closeness.

"I am your dad, you have every right to call me like that," Sasuke said and dropped a kiss on his son's dark hair. "And daddy's so sorry for hurting you like this. Forgive me, okay?"

Tetsu's lips were curved in a perfect trembling pout and a sob left him not so long after his father's confession. He held onto Sasuke's shoulders tightly and buried his face in his neck, finding the comfort he had been seeking in the short years he had lived.

"And you're the most perfect child for me," Sasuke said, and then added, "I love you more than anything."

Tetsu nodded against Sasuke's neck. "I love daddy…"

Sasuke smiled, a real smile for the first time in his life and kissed his son's cheek. He caressed his back, and rocked them slowly, trying to soothe the child. But as he kept his ministrations, another sob drew his attention.

Naruto was still sitting beside the table, and tears were leaving his beautiful eyes without stopping. Every once in a while, he wiped away his tears and hugged himself, trying to stop the trembling. Sasuke held his breath as he watched his son's teacher.

He was the one who had helped Sasuke to see the realty. But now, it looked like Naruto also needed someone to see him for real too. He looked so alone and helpless, crying to himself… Sasuke could see that Naruto was young, but his eyes told a different story. They were the eyes of someone who had seen enough, who had suffered enough and who needed a haven to rest and soothe his wounds.

Without giving it a too much thought, Sasuke clutched his son to his chest with an arm, and he opened the other one, his eyes locking on Naruto's wide ones.

Sniffing, Naruto looked around for a moment and then crawled into Sasuke who took him under his arm immediately. Not being able to help it anymore, Naruto let out his tears freely and held onto Sasuke, very much like Tetsuya was doing.


"So… Maybe we should go and get some ice-cream?" Sasuke suggested lightly.

He wasn't sure how much time they had passed there, Naruto and Tetsuya letting out their pent up emotions and Sasuke giving them the comfort of his silence and presence.

After the crying time was over, Naruto and Tetsu had gone to wash their faces which were red due to all the crying, and now they were beside Sasuke's black Mustang.

"Uhmm, I do'n like sweets daddy," Tetsu said as he jumped up and down without stopping, secure between his teacher and father who were holding each of his hands.

Sasuke smirked slightly. His son was just like him. But what to do now? He looked up at Naruto with a silent question in his eyes, needing help. He was new to being a daddy after all.

Naruto smiled softly and then mouthed the word hamburger.

Sasuke smiled and looked down. "What of hamburger?"

Tetsu stopped jumping immediately and smiled widely. "Hambu'ge'!"

Naruto chuckled. "Isn't he cute? He sounds like a French!"

Sasuke, too, chuckled, making Tetsu smile even wider. "But, daddy, do'n I need to see my mentow?"

"I don't think you need to see her anymore. You have a very long time to learn some things," Sasuke said. "I'll call to inform her that you don't need the classes anymore."

Tetsu's smile got even wider if it was possible. This was the best day of his life! His dad had approved of him. He even had told him that he would put his drawing on the wall of his office! And he had said he loved him and he was the perfect child for him. And and, he was taking him to eat hamburger which his mother didn't approve but still all the more delicious. And on top of that, Naruto was with them too!

Suddenly Tetsu looked up at Naruto. "Nawu-chan, you come with us, too!"

Naruto smiled at the child kindly. "I don't think-"

"Please Naruto, I would like it too," Sasuke cut Naruto off with a genuine smile on his face.

For some strange reason, Sasuke wanted to see Naruto more, even if just a few minutes. He wanted to learn more about him, and he wanted him to want to learn more about Sasuke as well.

Well, this was kind of complicated. Sasuke was a foreigner in this area, and he wasn't sure how to behave properly.

Unknown to Sasuke, Naruto wasn't in a too much different situation. He had never experienced the quickening of a heart before, neither the strange sensation in his stomach. And this was all the more confusing to him, because a few days ago all he wanted to do was to strangle the man. But now…

Naruto shrugged and nodded with a smile, "Alright."

"Yay!" Tetsu run into his side of the car, and Sasuke helped him to settle in the baby seat, and took his side behind the wheel, Naruto seated beside him already.

"So, you know a place nearby?" Sasuke asked as he started the car.

Naruto nodded. "Down the street, turn right from the lights. There is a big place there."

"Alright," Nodding, Sasuke took the directions, the ride was short and enjoyable, Tetsu singing them a song that Iruka had thought in the class earlier.

The next hour was a blur, and without realizing it, Sasuke and Naruto were sitting side by side on a bench at a park, watching Tetsu play around with the big toys.

"Daddy watc' me!" Tetsu shouted before running into a slide.

Sun was about to set and there wasn't too many children around besides Tetsu.

Sasuke smiled as he nodded.

Smiling back, Tetsu slid down from the red colored slide, and waved to Sasuke enthusiastically, who in turn waved back at him.

"Do you think things will get better?" Sasuke asked as he watched the last rays of the sun.

"I do," Naruto nodded and smiled at Sasuke.

"How can you be so sure? I mean, I've neglected him way too much," Sasuke said slowly.

Naruto smiled and pointed Tetsu who was running around with another kid. "Normally, Tet-chan's always silent and well mannered. He never does anything out of ordinary; he always acts like an adult. But look at him now," They both smiled as Tetsu and the other kid started a war in sand pool. "For the first time I have known him, which is being two years, he's being just a child. You remembered that you're a dad and he remembered that he's a child."

Sasuke smiled warmly at Naruto and watched in delight as a soft blush covered his scarred cheeks.

Naruto scratched his cheeks and smiled back. "I assure you, he won't remember what he couldn't get before this day. He'll be a happy baby."

"How old are you Naruto?" Sasuke asked suddenly.

"Twenty," Naruto answered quickly.

"So, are you actually a waiter?" Sasuke asked, interested in anything he would tell about his life.

"No, I'm a student," Naruto smiled at Sasuke. "I'll be a pre-school teacher after I graduate which is a few months from now on."

"That's really nice," Sasuke smiled back. "It really suits you."

Naruto mumbled a thanks and looked down as a soft pinkness dusted his cheeks.

Sasuke smirked as he realized that he was getting a new hobby besides giving people death glares. Making Naruto blush.

"But, aren't you a bit young to be graduating already?" Sasuke asked this time.

A sad smile found its way to Naruto's face. "Not everybody's lucky enough to enjoy university life. To finish earlier, I took more courses than everyone, even in the summers."

"But, why?" Sasuke asked softly.

Naruto shrugged, obviously not wanting to speak on the matter.

Sasuke opened his mouth to say something but Tetsu's lack of noise caught his attention, -he thought he started developing a sixth sense for Tetsu- and he turned to the sand pool, only to find his son lying on the sand, writhing.

"Tetsuya!" Immediately, Sasuke was on his feet running towards his son. "What's wrong?"

The little raven had screwed his eyes shot. He was scratching his arms and was trying to reach his back time to time.

"Tet-chan?" Naruto called out worriedly as he eyed the red spots on the pale skin of the boy.

"Itchy," Tetsu whined, and Sasuke started rubbing his son's sides, looking at Naruto worriedly.

Naruto looked around and saw a big, green tree beside the pool, its leaves reaching to the ground.

"Tet-chan has allergies to different plants, maybe he's reacting to the tree," Naruto said softly, and lifted the sweatshirt Tetsu wore; the skin of his round belly was a disturbing red. "He must have some sort of medicine."

"I-I have no idea," Sasuke started to panic. "Hospital."

Naruto nodded and followed quickly as Sasuke scooped Tetsu up and run into his car. Naruto sat down first, and took the child in his lap and started to rub his back softly, Tetsu's whines slowing down. Sasuke started the car, and drove into a nearby hospital as fast as possible.

For the first time in his life Sasuke experienced the fear of losing someone dear to him. Maybe it wasn't an important thing, but not knowing what to do was enough make Sasuke shake in fear. Every passing moment was showing Sasuke how little he knew of his son, and he hated it.

Not so long after, they reached to a big hospital and Sasuke stopped the car when he was close enough to the entrance. He left his seat immediately, and run to Naruto's side, opening the door for him.

"Okay, I got him," Sasuke took Tetsu from Naruto and ran into the emergency entrance.

The night had fallen and the hospital was closed already, only working to serve the people in heavy condition. The halls of the hospital were bright with fake lights and the smell made Naruto sick to the stomach. There was a desk near the entrance, where a nurse sat, checking something on the monitor in front of her.

Sasuke stopped in front of the desk, panting.

"Good evening," The nurse greeted them.

"M-My son," Sasuke clutched the whimpering boy into his chest.

"What seems to be the problem?" The nurse asked as she took out a paper to fill in.

Naruto stepped in front of Sasuke, and talked to the nurse quickly, not trusting Sasuke's ability to contact with people at the moment.

Sasuke kissed Tetsu's forehead and began rock him slowly.

"Daddy?" Tetsu looked at Sasuke with barely opened eyes.

"Yes son. Don't worry you'll be fine soon," Sasuke assured and held his son tighter.

"This way Sasuke-san," Naruto called out and led the way to a room where a doctor waited.

Soon Tetsu was taken by the doctor and tests were run and now they were waiting in silence beside the bed Tetsu laid.

"Daddy," Tetsu called softly.

"Yes, I'm here," Sasuke gave his hand to his son, and let him put it on his belly.

"Nawu-chan," Tetsu turned to Naruto slowly.

"I'm here," Naruto, too gave his hand to Tetsu and then in a second, butterflies started to dance in his belly.

Tetsu put Naruto's hand on Sasuke's and clutched onto them both, feeling safe, he closed his eyes, a deep sleep claiming him.

Naruto looked at their joined hands and took a glance at Sasuke, who was watching Tetsu's soft rise and fall of his belly and their hands with an adoring smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"Okay," The doctor got in the room with papers in his hands. "He's only reacting to the grass he encountered, nothing to worry about. I'll give him an injection now to soothe him and then you can take him home."

Both Sasuke and Naruto nodded and they took their hands back. The doctor smiled at them, and then rolled up one of Tetsu's sleeves and injected the medicine on the back of his upper arm.

"Alright," The doctor smiled again. "If anything happens, you can come back."

"Thank you so much doctor," Sasuke thanked the doctor gratefully as Naruto bowed in thanks.

"Of course," Doctor smiled and returned to his desk as they left the room.

"Naruto, take Tetsuya for a while, okay? I'll complete the procedures," Sasuke said.

Nodding, Naruto took the sleeping child in his arms and followed after Sasuke slowly. With Sasuke making the payment and filling the papers, they were out of the hospital.

The sky was darker and a few stars winked at people who bothered to gaze at their beauty.

"Okay Naruto, tell me where you live," Sasuke said as he took his seat behind the wheel after putting Tetsu on his seat.

"It's alright, I can take a bus from the street," Naruto suggested.

"No," Sasuke answered, without leaving a room for argument. "Now tell me."

Sighing, Naruto did so. He played with his fingers as he observed Sasuke's dissatisfied face as they entered the neighborhood.

Naruto's one roomed apartment was located at the suburbs of city. Everything looked like a complete mess. Trashes were falling out of the bins, and every wall was painted with different colors and patterns.

Sasuke's right eye started twitching as he stopped the car where Naruto instructed. The apartment block was really old and it looked like ready to fall apart in a soft wind.

"You live here?" Sasuke asked, not happy at all.

Naruto sighed. "Told you, not everybody is as lucky as the others… Anyway, I had a great time despite everything, thank you Sasuke-san. And please, take care of Tet-chan."

Sasuke nodded slowly, not pressing on the matter, at least not yet.

Taking a quick glance at soundly sleeping Tetsuya, Sasuke left the car after Naruto.

"Oh, you don't have to accompany me Sasuke-san," Naruto smiled at the older man as he walked into the entrance of the apartment.

"Hn," Sasuke followed after him. "Call me Sasuke."

Naruto froze with his hands on the door knob, his back to Sasuke.

"I-I don't think it's proper," He said at last.

"Ah, but it is, Naru-chan," Sasuke said softly, a smirk on his lips.

"How you know?" Naruto asked stubbornly without looking back.

"Because I say so,"

Naruto shivered as he felt Sasuke's breath on his neck.

"Anyway, I'll see you later," Sasuke said and left, but not before giving Naruto's ass a quick squeeze.

Naruto's breath hitched in throat and his eyes widened. A heart beat later his enraged voice echoed in the silent sideways,

"Sasuke you bastard!"
