Notes: Again such positive hopes for the Uchiha brothers. I don't want to spoil their intentions so you'll have to keep reading.
Adjustment
Choice
Naruto slammed the door without saying a word. He wasn't in shock. He was baffled. He didn't know how the Uchiha brothers found him but now wasn't the time to ask questions.
"Naruto we came to talk," Sasuke said. Naruto couldn't tell if he was making his voice sultry on purpose or if he was hearing things because his heat close.
He looked down at the floor to where the door stopped to see a shiny and polished black boot blocking it. "Move your foot." He demanded evenly.
"If I do that then you'll lock us out." Sasuke replied sounding a little amused.
"This isn't the time for games. Get away from me and my kid."
"We're not here to cause trouble Naruto." Itachi said just as sultrily. Naruto's feet slid across the floor as the brothers put pressure on the door.
"Then why are you trying to force your way in?!" Naruto yelled.
"Because you won't let us in," Sasuke whispered just by his ear. He was so startled by the breath near his ear that he jumped away from the door, it swung open and banged against the wall startling Minato so bad that he started to cry.
"This is... quaint." Itachi commented as he sauntered in followed by Sasuke.
"Get out of my house." Naruto snarled at them as he rocked and bounced Minato while he discreetly backed up the kitchen. Right now the only thoughts going through his head was escape. All the self defense techniques he knew didn't include a child and he was severely out of practice too. He considered what he did know but all of that included maneuvering around and if he shook Minato too much he could seriously injure him. He could run to the kitchen and grab a knife and put Minato on the counter but if Minato fell off that would be horrible. He could scream but chances were that whoever showed up would be a beta or alpha who'd just join in or be an omega who would get caught too.
"It looks like he's thinking about a million things doesn't he?"
"He does," Sasuke agreed as he walked and looked around. "I don't think I've ever been in a house so small before..."
"Well then if my quaint little house is so offensive then please feel free to leave!"
"Why would we do that?" Itachi made his way over to the couch and sat down looking as if he were welcomed and was making himself comfortable for a long stay.
"How?" Naruto questioned stroking Minato's hair as gently as he could considering how high strung he was, "How did you find where I lived?"
"It wasn't easy," Sasuke said approaching him. The alpha reached for him but he smacked his hand away and backed up some more, his back to the counter now.
"Don't touch me." He said lowly. Minato fists bunched up tightly in his clothes now and was nuzzling his chest. Naruto's distress was causing him distress. A chain reaction.
"We thought it would be easy to find where you lived, you said equal distance between where you work and your son's sitter's daycare but there are so many roads and shortcuts in this back water place," Itachi sniffed distastefully as he picked up one of Minato's stuffed toys and squeezed it.
"So instead of driving around like fools we called the flower company the hospital used to send you the bouquet. Despite being so cautious about what you said to us you surely didn't check to see if I followed you into the hospital. After you checked in I asked the nurse if she would deliver some flowers on my behalf. She agreed without question."
Naruto shook his head as he remembered the name of the company which was on the back of the card, "That's a generic business. Even I've used it. The hospital would give them my address. They wouldn't give it to you."
"Oh they didn't but they did give us the receipt for our purchase." Naruto wasn't following. Sasuke must've read the confusion on his face because he continued without missing a beat. "We called to renew our order. A follow-up delivery and once we gave them our invoice number they were more than happy to allow us to check if the flowers would be sent to the correct address."
It dawned on Naruto then. The stupid flower company just gave them his address because they wanted 'to check if it was the right one'. They were completely stupid. So fucking stupid! That was the whole point of the hospital not giving out his address! So these men couldn't find him.
"You're seething," Itachi said frankly.
"You smell like milk," Sasuke added and Naruto flushed because when he'd been playing with Minato earlier, he'd spit up on him and he hadn't bothered to clean himself up.
"He smells like heat too. I must say that that is my favorite scent."
Naruto felt cornered and his distress levels were rising. The brothers had no intention of leaving, that was clear. He couldn't think of an escape plan that would actually work against two alphas in a small confined space. Screaming seemed like the best option but other than mothering omegas who were at home with their own children no one who had the strength to do anything would be home at this hour of the day.
He shifted Minato in his arms so that he could cradle the little on in the crook of his neck. Minato snuggled close to him as he rocked and rubbed his back. They came for something but they were beating around the bush in asking for it so he got the point for them. "Once each." He said.
Sasuke, the brother who didn't understand what personal space was, was standing just behind Naruto's shoulder and peaking at Minato and was trying to pet his hair. "Huh?"
Naruto slapped his hand away once again and moved out of arms reach. "I said once each." The brothers exchanged looks, "I'll let you both have me once and then you leave and I never see you again." He met both their eyes. "Deal?"
Itachi finally stood up and came over to him, he ran his index finger along the side of Naruto's face. Naruto looked up at him with pursed lips. It was taking a tremendous amount of willpower not to bite Itachi's finger off. "As tempting as that offer is and as close as my brother and I are we, unfortunately, are too possessive to share our toys."
"We really did come just to check up on you." Sasuke smirked at him, "but your scent was just so inviting we couldn't help but let ourselves in." Naruto sighed heavily and squeezed Minato slightly. "Don't be mistaken though. We are interested. You seem to be everything we're looking for in a partner."
"...what?"
"You don't have to choose now. Your heat is coming right? We'll be back in a week for your answer."
"...,my answer...?" He was lost. Alphas didn't give choices or ultimatums. They took what they wanted with barely any consequences.
"Yes. Your answer. Pick one of us to be your mate."
"But what if I don't want either of you?!" Itachi set a card down on the table before he walked over to the door and opened it.
"You will," Sasuke replied with a smirk. "Whichever one of us shows up in your fantasies the most this week should be the one you pick right? That's super easy." Naruto scoffed and rolled his eyes. Since the Uchihas were moving away from him Minato felt confident enough to lift his head and watch them.
"We'll be by in a week to hear your answer. We're good people Naruto." Itachi said with a small smile, "Think about your answer carefully." That felt like a threat. That was definitely a threat.
Naruto didn't relax until he saw them get into their car and drive off and even then he was still on edge. He locked up the house and drew all the curtains. He sprayed air fresheners around just for good measure then he got in the shower and stood under the spray until he pruned up and his skin felt tight and squeaky then he called his foster dad and asked him if he could stay a few days with him. Iruka didn't ask questions, he told him to come and spend as long as he'd like.
The phone started to ring moments after his call with his foster parent ended. It was the neighborhood watch leader. He stared down at the number on the display screen with a blank expression before he turned and walked away. Minato was still awake in his crib although it was well past nap time. This new needy behavior was exhausting Naruto.
Minato greeted him with a smile when he lifted him up and Naruto filled the bathroom sink with warm water so he could give his baby a wipe down. Minato had a firm grip on his finger the entire time so it was hard turning him this way and that but at least he wasn't terribly fussy. Naruto dried him off with a soft fluffy blanket and dressed him pampers, a long shirt that pinned between his legs and socks with ducks on them. On his way back to the bedroom he took a detour back to the living room where he look at the display screen of the landline one more time. Seven missed calls from four different numbers. The screen lit up as he received another call. He roll his eyes and ripped the cord out of the socket and sighed peacefully when the ringing stopped.
On autopilot, Naruto set Minato in his crib, slipped his pants off then crawled into bed and closed his eyes. He'd have a meltdown another day, he was too tired now. He was just tipping into sleep when Minato's first whimper had his eyes opening again. He rolled off the bed, picked him up, unbuttoned his shirt and let Minato root for a nipple himself as he drifted off to sleep. He'd deal with today's problems tomorrow.
Notes: Naruto's flight or fight instincts have kicked in and he's choosing flight. How far do you think he has to go to get away from the Uchiha brothers? Let me know what you think in the reviews~
