Naruto knew he had to find Sasuke quick after the confrontation with the teen's father. So he searched amongst the room full of people seeing one of the students wearing a black onzie disappear behind a door.

He guessed they were headed to their section. The lower class weren't allowed to mingle with the upper class during parties, but Naruto was determined. He casually walked his way over to the door waving and smiling at people until he reached his objective.

As he reached for the door handle his name was called making him.

"I wasn't doing anything I swear!" the blond blurted out as he turned around to see Sasuke covering his mouth laughing that adorable laugh Naruto loved so much.

"You scared the hell out of me Sasuke" Naruto said while clutching his shirt where his heart would be. Sasuke just uncovered his mouth revealing that smile that only Naruto could bring out.

"You're the one sneaking around dobe" Sasuke called the blond by his nickname as he walked up to the teen stopping inches away. "Or were you just looking for me?"

Naruto blushed from how close they were now. He cursed Sasuke for messing with him like this.

"Bastard" the blond mumbled out seeing Sasuke smirk now more than ever as he crossed his arms.

"Well then since you weren't looking for me I guess I'll go then" Sasuke said sarcastically as he reached around the blond to grab the door handle. Naruto caught Sasuke's wrist and with one swift motion moved the teen's arm to wrap around his neck bringing them closer like they were on stage.

Sasuke had no choice but to hold onto the blond as he was forced against the teen losing his balance.

Naruto just grinned triumphantly.

"Of course I was looking for you" Naruto said now with his arms wrapped around Sasuke's waist supporting him up right. Sasuke blushed this time and drove his fingers through the blonds hair naturally.

Naruto rather enjoyed that strange sensation, and so without warning he kissed the raven. Sasuke's shade deepened and he kissed the boy back feeling himself slip away closing his eyes.

"Naruto!" someone shouted making the boys break apart instantly. Naruto coughed, and looked around seeing his father walk up with a worried but approved look on his face.

Sasuke just looked down and covered his mouth as if that would help. Naruto waved to his dad whom just shook his head as he arrived.

"What did I just witness young man?" Minato said as he placed both of his hands on his hips. Naruto laughed still a bit dazed and tried to tell his dad with useless hand motions that got him nowhere.

Minato waved his son to stop as he himself laughed. Sasuke was shocked at how similar their laughs were despite obvious appearances.

"Just be happy I'm the only one that saw you two…I hope" Minato said as he looked around seeing no one really looking at them.

"What are you doing here though dad? I thought you had a mission on prime?" the blond asked though he was happy his dad was here.

"Finished early. Had to see my boy. You must be the lovely Sasuke? Naruto has told me so much about you, which sometimes I have to wonder if he's been stalking you" Minato said as he pointed to Naruto at the end.

"I haven't been stalking you" Naruto said quickly before shooting a glare at his father. Sasuke just laughed and nodded to who he was.

"It's a pleasure to meet you" Sasuke said kindly as he outstretched his hand for Minato whom shook it respectfully.

"I hope you can keep him in check. Lord knows I've tried" Minato said as he ruffled his son's hair making the blond roll his eyes a bit embarrassed.

"I will, but you did raise a fine boy" Sasuke said with a smile to the loving blonde teen.

"Thank you Sasuke. Your father did a good job himself, no matter how unyielding he is." Minato said kindly as he gestured at Sasuke. Sasuke bowed slightly respectfully as to say thank you.

"No need to bow to me Sasuke. I'm no royal" Minato assured the raven.

Naruto was about to say something before Fugaku appeared next to Sasuke.

"Ah, back so soon Minato?" Fugaku asked the older Man whom just bowed out of protocol.

"Yes Sir, I couldn't miss our boy's graduation now could I?" Minato said as he put an arm around his son. Fugaku just smirked strangely as he looked at Naruto whom was just glaring at the man.

Sasuke noticed this and looked back and forth between the two guessing his father did something.

Fugaku turned his attention back to Minato.

"Agreed, I spoke with your son a while ago and he rather rudely interrupted me before I could finish" Fugaku stated.

Naruto was going to protest but felt his father squeeze his shoulder.

"My apologies Councilor Fugaku. I'll have to have a word with him about that" Minato said as he shot a glance down at Naruto.

Sasuke frowned slightly as he looked at Naruto hoping the teen wouldn't get in trouble.

"Thank you Minato, and if you don't mind I'd prefer it if our boys just stay away from each other. I don't want any bad elements of course, no offense to you that is" Fugaku spoke as if it was normal to say.

"Father you can't just-"

"It's okay Sasuke. I fully understand your father and no offense taken. Come son" Minato said with a gentle smile as he tugged a pissed Naruto along.

"Dad what are you-"

"Hush" Minato hissed out quietly at his son as they walked away. Naruto silenced as he glanced back at Sasuke to see him being pulled away by his own father whom looked way too proud.

Sasuke had turned around also shooting Naruto a saddened look.

Once they were a good distance apart away from everyone else Naruto broke away from his dad.

"What the hell dad?!" Naruto half shouted earning a 'watch yourself look' from his father. Minato shook his head then ruffled his son's hair again.

"Calm down boy. I just did you a favor" Minato said rather smoothly.

"How is that doing me a favor? You just agreed to never let me see Sasuke again?" Naruto blurted out clearly not understanding. He jerked away from his father afterwards.

"That's not what I said at all" Minato said with a chuckle at the end. Naruto looked at his father confused.

"Think" Minato said as he placed both of his hands on his son's shoulders. Naruto went over the conversation in his head still not coming up with anything.

"How the world did you pass Iruka's class?" Minato asked with an amused look on his face. Naruto just flushed out of frustration and brushed his father off.

"I never said I agreed Naruto. I said I understood. Better yet I said I understood his father. Not what he'd suggested "Minato said to his son nudging him slightly. Naruto looked up at his dad impressed.

"Oh thank god. I thought you'd sided with him" Naruto said as he nudged his father back. Minato just laughed and petted his boy again.

"Never, that man has a varren up his ass." Minato said as he looked back.

Naruto laughed as he thought about the nasty little beasts.

Varren were war beasts for the Akatsuki. Vicious little strange dogs with sharp teeth, leathery like skin and glowing ember eyes.

"Watch yourself dad or they'll send you on a day long mission cleaning up Vorus" the boy said to his father whom just laughed as he thought about the disgusting planet.

It was a vile place enough said.

Minato sighed and placed one hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"You know I'd do anything to help you two be together, but his father is a Councilor. It won't be easy" Minato said as he looked at his son.

Naruto nodded taking in a deep breath.

"I'm willing to take the risks. Like you took for mom" Naruto said proudly with bravery in his deep blue eyes and hugged his father before running off to meet up with his friends to tell them about everything.

"I'll be home for dinner promise!" the blond boy shouted as he disappeared amongst the crowd. Minato just watched, and took in a deep breath of his own having a bad feeling about all of this.

"Be safe…" Minato said anyway though Naruto was already gone.
