''Yo, its the Dark Ninja.'' Sasuke looked around. He saw a trio of guys obviously skipping school like himself. They were from his school; the uniforms gave them away.
''Hn.'' He flicked his hair. ''My trench coat isn't on which means I'm not in the mood to fight amateurs.'' He looked back at the shop windows and inspected the brown messy haired dog plushie on the shelf. The trio paused halfway there, but they came to him anyways.
''Who said we wanted to fight Dark?'' The youngest one stepped out and held out a hand. ''We just wanted to meet you.'' The other boy stopped him and pulled his arm back.''Wait, Tyke, we don't know if he's a poser.''
''Me, a poser? '' Sasuke raised an eyebrow. He pulled his t-shirt off with squeals from behind him and turned around. A pair of black wings was tatooed on his back. It went high to his shoulder blades and dived down to his low waist area. ''If you think that's paint then you might as well challenge me and get your ass kicked.'' He felt fingers probe the area.
''Wow, Kairi, I think he's the real deal.'' Sasuke put his t-shirt back on when he heard the click of cell phones from the people around him. ''Nice to meet you Dark Ninja.'' Sasuke nodded and shook all the three hands.
''You shopping this early in the morning sir?'' Sasuke grinned. Sir? I like these kids. He walked in front as they followed closely behind. Great another fan club, but they really aren't that annoying.
''Yeah, but I think I need more money.'' He took out his wallet. The emptyness made him feel terrible and poor. The night before he spent so much money on drinking he was practically broke. He needed to pay off his rent and they even shut down his appliances. Plus he needed to pay for school too..
''Oh, we could give you some, sir.'' Kairi,Tyke and their friend said all at once. They took a quick glance at each other and immediately took out their wallets and started to empty them out.
''Wait a second,'' Sasuke stopped them ''You don't have to-''
''But you are Sasuke Uchiha. The greatest fighter in Tokyo and the role model for people like us.'' they handed Sasuke their money and watched carefully for his reaction.
He sighed. ''Look, I'll take it since you want me too, but if you guys need any help, just come and find me, alright?'' He pocketed the money and patted all the delinquents on the head. ''Thanks guys.''
''No problem , Sir!'' They all stood erect and saluted. A pair of sirens could be heard clearly through the streets. ''Shit.'' Tyke swore under his breath. ''Gotta go. Do you need us to-''
Sasuke held up a hand. ''The feds don't know who I am without my costume, but you guys stand out, so I think you guys need to get going.'' He watched the trio run off through the bushes and he went back to the toy shop to buy Kiba his dog. He checked his digital watch and headed back to the Uzumaki apartment. He found a public phone nearby and punched in Naruto's number. He fidgeted at the telephone as the phone began to ring.
''Uzumaki.''
''H-Hey, this is Sasuke.'' he gripped the bag tightly in his fist.
''Ah, Sasuke listen, we're almost there, just hang tight in the apartment. The spare key is in the plant near the door.'' He could hear Kiba's squeals of ''Sasu onii-chan'' in the background. He smiled in spite of his nervousness.
''Alright, I'll wait ,Naruto-san.''
''See you soon Sasuke.'' He heard the click and headed up the stairs of the apartment. He found the key and walked inside. He took off his shoes and looked around and felt immediately like he was at home. Sasuke stood in the middle of the living room and breathed it all in. He could smell the scent of Naruto-san all around. Either I've lost it or I have this crush on this guy I just met. Must be breakup aftermath disease: Fall in love with any guy who takes you in.
The door bell rang and Sasuke sped over to the door, his socks let him slip and slide his way their. Kiba bounded in first, attaching himself once again to Sasuke's right leg. He stumbled backward and threw Kiba high up into the air. Naruto came up behind him in his business suit and began to take off his shoes. Sasuke scanned him and wondered how a guy with glasses in a suit could look so good and not geeky.
''Welcome home.''
Naruto's head snapped upwards in surprise. He blushed slightly. ''Yes, I'm back...'' Kiba stopped grabbing fistfulls of Sasuke's hair and watched his father. Sasuke was slightly taken aback. He mirrored Naruto's reaction.
''Er, I'm sorry, did I do something wrong.''
Naruto blinked. He massaged the back of his neck. ''No, just, no one's ever said 'welcome home' to me before.'' He laughed. ''I heard only couples did that sort of thing.'' He got up from the steps and led Sasuke to the living room. He took off his jacket and put on his favorite white apron.
''It's almost lunch time, so what do my little men want to eat?'' Kiba started to squirm in his arms, so Sasuke set him on the ground. He followed Naruto into the kitchen and stopped him at the refridgerator.
''Please, Naruto-san, let me do it. You just came home and your'e probably tired from work.'' He pulled the apron over Naruto's head and tied it around his own waist. ''I live by myself, so I can cook. Maybe not as good as you, but still.''
Naruto leaned on the counter. ''Well, if you really want to, then It's fine.'' Concern washed over his face. ''Have you been playing hooky this whole time Sasuke?'' Sasuke paused at the sink, thinking over what to say; Naruto continued. ''I know something must have happened, and I know that its really none of my business, but I'm worried.''
''Well... I was sort of... dumped the other day....''Sasuke ignored Naruto's probing eyes. '' My boyfriend... he says he likes girls still and I caught him in bed with a girl that I hate.'' Sasuke kept his head down as he wiped his eyes with his arm. ''I didn't think.. he would actually... I should have known that he would dump me the next...day.'' The raven shook his head roughly. ''Maybe, it was all my fault.. maybe I'm the one to blame, all I do is hurt people and I-''
A warm hand forced his chin upwards. Naruto leaned forward and licked the tears away with a gentle touch. Sasuke blinked in confusion. ''You don't need to cry Sasuke. Obviously, this man is a son of a bitch if he threw you away.'' An odd rebellious, and angry look crossed his face. He cupped Sasuke's head, pulled him closer and sighed. ''Maybe I'm being harsh though....'' Sasuke looked up at him his face blushing.
''You have a different side , Naruto-san...''
The blond nodded in agreement. ''I know, I'm sorry.''
''No, don't be.'' Sasuke slipped his arms around his head. ''It made me feel better. Thank you.'' He felt a larger hand carress his hair. Sasuke sighed; he was content to be like that forever.
''Why are you guys hugging?'' They both froze as Kiba walked in looking perplexed. He walked over and squeezed in. ''I wanna hug too.'' Naruto sighed and released Sasuke.
''Kiba, why don't you let the adults talk real quick alright.'' He nudged him out the kitchen. ''Now Sasuke,'' An evil look spread across his face. He grabbed the raven and gently kissed him on the lips. Sasuke blinked once. What the hell is going on. I don't understand...okay I can, but it doesn't make any sense. Oh god...he's actually... pretty good.. Sasuke slowly closed his eyes and let Naruto take over. He stepped back and felt the cold granite underneath his fingertips.
The kiss didn't last long. Maybe a millenium or two at most; just enough that Sasuke needed air, but that was okay since his brain shut down. His body screamed for more and all he could was lean in closer and whimper. He wasn't sure who broke off first, but they were both breathing heavily even though they only touched their lips.
The kiss surprised him ,but the look on Naruto's face was even more surprising. Sasuke always thought he was an amazing and maybe superior kisser, but Naruto looked confused and flustered. He stepped back a bit and cleared his throat. ''I should get back to Kiba. Oh and Sasuke,'' He opened the door and paused. ''Don't give up, I might not have known you very long, but you're a good kid.''
Sasuke watched him leave as he sank to his knees while massaging his lips. Now, I'm seriously way confused. Maybe Naruto-san likes me? Is that possible, I've only known him for 48 hours... He shook his head and got up and began to make lunch.
Kiba and Naruto played together in the living room. They wrestled together with Kiba being victorious. ''Hey, Daddy.'' He pushed down on his father's chest. ''Do you think Sasu nii-chan is more like a mommy?''
Naruto chuckled. ''Why would you think that?'' He licked his lips. ''He is a young man.''
'' But, he's really nice and Daddy looks at him like he's something special.'' Naruto froze as Kiba began to bounce excitedly. ''I know, Daddy, could you marry Sasu nii-chan?'' He bounced up and down some more. ''Then we could be one happy family!''
''Kiba,'' He pat his head in affection. ''It's not that simple. Sasuke still has one more year until college, and he has to start his own job and he probably-''
''Lunch is ready.'' Sasuke poked his head out of the kitchen. His face turned red as he met eyes with Naruto. Kiba attacked his left leg and called from below. ''Nee, onii-chan, would you marry Daddy?'' Sasuke blushed some more.
''I, er...well.''
''Please, say yes!'' Naruto watched in interest as Sasuke got even redder.
''I...guess so.'' he said quietly, still trying to ignore Naruto's playful smile.
''Yay!'' Kiba let go of his leg and dragged Naruto to Sasuke. He pointed to the ground.
''Daddy, get on one knee, right here.'' Naruto and Sasuke blinked in unison with one eyebrow raised. Naruto ginned as he caught on and went on one knee. He grabbed Sasuke's hand and pressed it against his lips.
''That's great, Daddy, perfect!'' Kiba looked excited. ''Now, you gotta pop the question!''
Sasuke stuttered. '' Wait a second-'' Naruto shut him up with a look and held his gaze. He slipped a silver ring off his middle finger and placed it over Sasuke's promise finger. It felt nice and cool against Sasuke's skin. His heart pounding against his chest he waited for the question.
''Sasuke, will you marry me?''
''Yes.'' Sasuke gripped his hand. His heart was going at a dangerous pace and his knees were shaking.''I-I will.''
''Now you gotta kiss!!''Kiba broke in and crouched on the ground looking up at them expectantly. Naruto stood up and pecked Sasuke on the cheek.
''There.'' He looked down at Kiba. ''Happy?''Kiba frowned. He poked him gently on the head. ''You are 10 years too young to see something like that. Plus, since Sasuke and I need to keep things private.'' He jiggled his eyebrows meaningfully to the clueless Kiba. The little kid pouted and looked disappointed, but then his stomach grumbled. He glanced up at Sasuke.
''You said lunch was ready right?'' He sniffed the air in a way that reminded Sasuke of a brown haired mutt sniffing for food. ''Oooh, smells' like terayaki! My favorite!!'' He sped to the kitchen. Sasuke stood nervously with Naruto watching him and he started to pull of the ring.
''Sasuke, keep it.'' Naruto placed his hand on his. ''It might bring you good luck.''
''B-but-''
''Well, if you don't want it..''
''No, I want it.'' Sasuke held his hand to his chest. ''I'll take good care of it.'' He paused. ''I promise.''
Naruto smiled. ''I know you will.''
