Chapter 2 part II
"Naruto?" Sasuke asked.
"Don't walk next to me with that thing." Naruto said.
"What? It's my first one today." Sasuke said.
"I don't care. You said you were going to quit." Naruto said.
"Baby steps, Naru." Sasuke said. Naruto rolled his eyes and kept walking. Sasuke sighed and took a long drag on his cigarette and let Naruto leave. Sasuke didn't really see what the big deal was about his smoking. He'd smoked in previous lifetimes but Naruto didn't nag half as much as he did now. This was the only thing that they disagreed on and would fight over. But because they were both stubborn, neither of them wanted to let the other have his way. Sasuke loved Naruto and wanted to see him happy, but he didn't see why he had to stop smoking and every time they started talking about it they would argue so they just stopped talking about it. Eventually Sasuke got annoyed with Naruto avoiding him when he smoked and said he would quit. That was about a year ago though, Sasuke had gone from being a chain smoker and smoking about two and a half packs a day to only smoking one or two cigarettes a day. He thought it was pretty good progress, but Naruto still seemed upset about it. Once he finished his cigarette he started chewing on a piece of gum to hopefully get the cigarette taste out of his mouth before he found Naruto. Naruto was laying on the ground under a tree just a bit past the main area of the campus. Sasuke sat down next to him and touched his head.
"You still smell like cigarettes." Naruto sighed.
"Sorry. Just give me a kiss and I'll go take a shower." Sasuke said. Naruto looked up at him. "Come on, you know I don't like it when I upset you."
"Then stop." Naruto said. Sasuke sighed and leaned down over Naruto.
"Kiss me?" Sasuke asked. Naruto lifted up and gave Sasuke a peck on the lips before laying back down. Sasuke smiled gently. At least Naruto wasn't too mad at him. "I'll go take a shower. Where do you want to meet for dinner?" Sasuke asked.
"I'll come to your room." Naruto said. Sasuke winced, maybe Naruto was a bit upset. He rarely referred to his room as 'your room' because it was basically his room as well.
"Yeah." Sasuke said as he got up and walked off. Sasuke went back to the room and took a long shower. He got out of the shower somewhat nervous about whether or not Naruto would be there yet. If Naruto was still mad, he wouldn't be. Sasuke really hoped that Naruto was in the room. Thankfully, he found the blonde laying on his bed when he got out of the bathroom.
"You took a long time." Naruto said.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were waiting." Sasuke said laying on the bed next to Naruto. Naruto turned and looked at Sasuke.
"Sorry I got mad." Naruto said.
"Yeah, I know." Sasuke said touching Naruto's cheek.
"I'm starving, lets go eat." Naruto said kissing Sasuke and then getting up. Sasuke also got up and went with Naruto to the cafeteria. Naruto went to sit with Kiba, Shikamaru and Choji and Sasuke followed like the good boyfriend he was.
"So what are you going to do this weekend?" Kiba asked.
"We're celebrating our anniversary. Sasuke's gonna plan it so it's a secret." Naruto smiled.
"How'd you get the passes?" Shikamaru asked curiously.
"I made a deal with Iruka-sensei." Naruto smiled. The other boys nodded and knew not to ask any more questions on what exactly the deal was. "What about you guys?"
"Well, Hinata convinced her parents to let her visit when Neji is coming, so there is that." Kiba smiled.
"Neji is coming this weekend?" Naruto asked looking over at Shikamaru. Shikamaru blushed and shrugged.
"Yeah, he had some extra time and decided to come visit me." Shikamaru shrugged. Neji had graduated the previous year and had been pretty busy with college and although Shikamaru acted indifferent it had made him really lonely, so Naruto knew he was actually really excited to see his boyfriend.
"Is it true about the Gaara thing?" Kiba asked. Both Naruto and Choji punched Kiba in the head.
"Shut up you dumb mutt." Naruto hissed while Choji pat his friend on the back.
"You know those were just rumors. Neji would never do that to you." Choji said. It was about two months earlier that there had been a huge party at the university and one of the students saw Gaara leaving Neji's apartment the next morning and rumors spread of them sleeping together. It didn't even take a whole day for the rumors to spread to the high school and that night Neji frantically called Shikamaru swearing to every god he knew of that nothing had happened. The next day Gaara called and told Shikamaru that nothing had happened and that Neji, being his best friend, had allowed him to stay the night while he was incapacitated. Gaara even confessed to having a crush on Neji but that Neji loved Shikamaru too much to even think about anyone else. Because of the fact that Gaara rarely spoke to anyone besides Neji and his siblings, and even more rarely felt the need to explain his actions, Shikamaru trusted Gaara's explination. But it didn't mean it wasn't a touchy subject with the usually apathetic brunette.
"Yeah, that whole thing is just troublesome." Shikamaru sighed.
"I bet it was Temari starting the rumors anyway. She probably wanted you to break up with Neji so that she could console you and whatnot." Kiba nodded.
"Tsk." Shikamaru said as he pulled out a cigarette.
"You better not light that if you know what's good for you." Choji said grabbing the hand Shikamaru held his lighter in. Sasuke was glaring at him and Naruto was looking off to the side. Shikamaru sighed.
"You two had a fight again?" Shikamaru asked. Naruto huffed and took a bite of his food. "You know you two fighting about Sasuke's smoking gets really annoying when I want to smoke." Shikamaru growled and put his cigarette away. They ate in mostly silence after that occasionally they would talk about a class or teacher or someone in the school, but not much was said. The week went by quickly and soon Naruto and Sasuke were checking into a hotel for the weekend. Naruto blushed as the woman behind the counter smiled knowingly at them. Sasuke had bought some kind of suite.
"Come on." Sasuke said taking Naruto's hand and leading him away. Sasuke opened the door to their suite and Naruto nearly passed out. The room was huge with a sitting area with a couch and a huge TV and then there was a dining area with a table covered in delicious looking snacks and a desk and then there was a door that led into the bedroom part with a king-size bed and a doorway that went into the bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub big enough for five people and a glass shower.
"Sasuke," Naruto started. Sasuke kissed him to stop whatever it was he was saying.
"I wanted to do this, okay?" Sasuke asked. Naruto sighed and nodded. It was too expensive, but Sasuke liked spoiling Naruto so Naruto wasn't going to argue with him.
"So, what do you have planned for this weekend?" Naruto asked as he flopped on the bed.
"You mean you were expecting something other than me fucking you until you can't possibly move?" Sasuke asked crawling over his blonde lover. Naruto smiled and wrapped his arms around Sasuke. Sasuke leaned down and kissed Naruto lovingly. "Seriously though, we should take a shower cause I've got dinner reservations." Sasuke said when he broke the kiss. Naruto sighed. "Don't worry, don't worry. You'll like it I promise." Sasuke smiled. Naruto gave Sasuke a wary look.
"You say that now..." Naruto trailed off. Sasuke smiled and kissed him gently.
"I promise, just trust me." Sasuke smiled.
"Fine. Let's go take a shower." Naruto said getting up and pulling Sasuke along with him.
"I already told you I have reservations. We can't have sex in the shower." Sasuke said. Of course, even though he said that they ended up having sex anyway, how was Sasuke supposed to resist the sexy naked and wet blonde? After they finished in the shower Sasuke rushed for them to get dressed and then they got in the car.
"Where are we going, Sasuke?" Naruto asked when he noticed he knew where they were.
"Don't worry." Sasuke smiled. Naruto started getting anxious. If they went much further then the only restaurant left would be Ichiraku's but he usually closed around 6:00 and it was almost 6:30.
"Sasuke." Naruto said.
"Hmm?" Sasuke asked.
"Where are we going? I mean I know that you know that Ichiraku's is my favorite, but do you know that it closes at 6?" Naruto asked.
"Does it?" Sasuke smiled. Naruto looked over at him. As they pulled up Naruto recognized a few of the cars at the restaurant.
"Sasuke." Naruto said again.
"Just get out of the car and go in, Naruto." Sasuke sighed. Sometimes Naruto was so difficult.
"Surprise! Happy Anniversary!" Everyone yelled when Naruto came in. Naruto blinked. Everyone was there. Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji, Hinata, Ino, Sakura, Sai, Lee, Kankuro, Temari, and even Iruka and Kakashi were there.
"What's this?" Naruto asked.
"It's an anniversary party." Kiba said putting his arm over Naruto's shoulders and pulling him into the restaurant.
"Yeah, you and Sasuke have been together for five years. That's so cool." Sakura nodded. Naruto smiled.
"You all did this?" Naruto asked.
"Well, I mean it was really Sasuke's idea. He said he wanted it to be special." Choji said.
"Iruka and Kakashi?" Naruto asked looking at the two teachers.
"I'm a chaperone." Iruka said stiffly.
"I'm his date." Kakashi smirked.
"They begged to come." Sasuke said. Naruto took Sasuke's hand and smiled at him.
"Thanks." He smiled.
"The owner agreed to keep it open for our special party until 8:00." Sasuke said. Everyone started to order and Sasuke put his arm around Naruto's waist. "You like it?" Sasuke smiled.
"Love it." Naruto said kissing Sasuke gently. The girls squealed. Naruto laughed softly and left Sasuke to go talk to people. They all had fun eating and drinking and talking. Around 7:45 the owner told them to start wrapping things up. That's when Sasuke stood up.
"Everyone, the real reason I asked you all here was not only to celebrate with Naruto and me but also so that you can all be witnesses so we don't have to make a bunch of phone calls later on." Sasuke said.
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked looking at his lover. Sasuke turned and smiled gently at Naruto. "Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto, I love you with all my heart. I've known you my entire life and have loved you my entire life and beyond that. I always have loved you and always will love you and want to be with you forever. So," Sasuke said getting down on one knee. Everyone in the restaurant stopped breathing and Naruto started crying. "Uzumaki Naruto, will you marry me?" Sasuke asked. Naruto laughed and nodded.
"Nothing could make me happier." Naruto said. He cried harder as Sasuke slipped the ring on his finger. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck and pressed his face into Sasuke's chest. "I love you so much, Sasuke." Naruto said. Everyone cheered and Naruto and Sasuke laughed. After everyone congratulated the two the party was over and everyone went their separate ways.
"I already told our parents, by the way. They're thrilled." Sasuke said as they were driving back to the hotel. Naruto smiled and nodded. It's not like they hadn't been married before, but Naruto was always thrilled about it. They got to the hotel and had a very long, and maddeningly hot love making session. A few hours after the love making had ended Sasuke got out of the bed.
"Where are you going?" Naruto yawned.
"Balcony." Sasuke said as he grabbed his cigarettes from his bag and pulled one out. Naruto growled.
"If you even think about lighting that I swear I will leave right now." Naruto said. Sasuke looked over at Naruto.
"What's your problem, Naruto? You don't make half as big of a deal about Shikamaru smoking. It's not like it really matters." Sasuke said annoyed.
"It matters to me!" Naruto shouted at him. Sasuke froze as Naruto buried his face in the pillows. "Five years, Sasuke."
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"I mean every other life time this was the earliest we've ever gotten together and we've already been together for five years. I don't want to lose you to something stupid like lung cancer. I want to spend as much time with you as possible before I have to go an entire lifetime without you." Naruto cried. Sasuke sighed and grabbed his cigarettes and threw them over the balcony ledge.
"Okay, I understand." Sasuke said getting back into bed with Naruto. "No more smoking."
"Thank you." Naruto said wrapping his arms around Sasuke and pressing his face into Sasuke's neck. "I love you, Sasuke." Naruto said.
"I love you too, Naruto." Sasuke smiled and kissed him.
REVIEW!!!! DO IT!!! anyway, if you haven't figured it out, there's gonna be time skips (3) to their previous lives. and also, this chapter kind of turned out to be an anti-smoking thing, i didn't do it on purpouse really. i don't care if you do or don't smoke so don't think i'm trying to run and anti-smoking campaign.
IMPORTANT: because cerealcheese2 was so kind to bring this up... THIS STORY DOES NOT TAKE PLACE HERE! none of the dates match up to anything in earth's history, so it's in some alternate universe or other world or whatever you want to call it. Sorry for any confusion I might have caused.
