I apologize for the massive delay, but there's the new chapter :). I'll be able to upload more frequently from now on.

Deidera had gone all out for breakfast, since according to the customs, the bride's first breakfast with the family was a way of trying to impress the bride and showing them that they would always have plentiful. He had the cooks make a complete Uchiha meal with all kinds of fish, soup and side dishes that had Naruto drooling just as he entered the large dining room with Sasuke.
'Ah, Naruto-kun!' Deidera called out as soon as he saw Naruto enter through the door, drawing Itachi's and Iruka's attention to him. 'Good morning, come have a seat.'
'Come in Naruto-kun.' Itachi smiled from his place at the head of the table. 'I hope you had a good rest.'
'Yes, your majesty, thank you.' Naruto smiled shyly and followed Sasuke to the table.
'Good morning, sensei.' Sasuke greeted Iruka as he pulled a chair for Naruto to sit on, who whispered a small thank you and sat down.
'Good morning, Sasuke-kun.' Iruka smiled warmly at Sasuke, and then frowned slightly. 'You look a little tired.'
'Of course, he would be.' A voice boomed from the other door that connected the room the tea room. Everyone turned to face a tall buxom lady, with long blonde hair and a huge grin on her face.
'Tsunade-sama.' Deidera smiled at the lady. 'What brings you here?'
'Well, I had to skip out on the free booze on the gaki's wedding because a few of your dumb shinobis had to go and get themselves blown up, so I thought I'd let you make up for it by treating me to a good breakfast.' Tsunade grumbled and sat on the chair next to Naruto.
'Your sake is always free.' Deidera raised an eyebrow.
'Yea, yea. Who said I was complaining?' Tsunade waved her hand and turned to face Naruto. ' So, this is our Uchiha bride?'
'This is Naruto, Tsunade-sama, Sasuke's bride.' Itachi explained. 'Naruto-kun, this is Tsunade. She's the head of the medic department of our country and the royal healer.'
'Pleased to meet you Tsunade-sama.' Naruto turned and bowed to the lady.
'What nice manners.' Tsunade patted Naruto on the head. 'You might be a little too good for our squirt.'
'You obviously don't mean that.' Itachi chuckled interrupting Sasuke who had opened his mouth to say something. 'You've met Iruka-san?'
'Ah, Iruka, I didn't notice you!' Tsunade looked surprised as she spotted Iruka sitting next to Deidera. She looked at him for a while and smiled. 'You haven't changed one bit.'
'Nice to see you again, Tsunade-sama.' Iruka smiled back softly. 'And you look beautiful as ever.'
'Of course, I do.' Tsunade smirked. 'I have a hundred years more to go before a wrinkle appears on my face.'
Deidera giggled and Sasuke sighed. How many times had he heard that line before?
'Sasuke.' Deidera said as he gestured for the maids to start pouring the tea. 'Iruka-san's right though. You do look a little tired. Did you not sleep well?'
'No, I-'
'Sleep?' Tsunade chuckled. 'He just got married. What makes you think he'll sleep? Especially when his brother got him such beauty for a bride.'
Sasuke cleared his throat and glared at Tsunade, while Naruto simply tilted his head in confusion.
'He's just busy with the security at the borders, Tsunade-sama.' Itachi chuckled again. 'You've received my message about the meeting today? '
'Ah, of course.' Tsunade nodded and took a sip of her tea. 'Well, in that case, come to my office after the meeting Sasuke.'
'Hn.' Sasuke picked his cup and nodded.
'I have this medicine that will boost your libido. You'll at least be able to sneak in a few quickies between work.'
Sasuke almost spat his tea out.
'Tsunade-sama.' Deidera scolded, handing Itachi his tea, who tried his best to suppress his laughter watching his little brother choke on his tea and Naruto going beet red in a matter of a second.
'He needs to satisfy his bride.' Tsunade shrugged.
'They're fine, He doesn't need that sort of thing.' Deidera defended Sasuke, who tried to avoid looking at Naruto.
'How do you know?' Tsunade said, calmly taking a sip of tea. ' Naruto-kun, how did Sasuke perform?'
'Per…form?' Naruto looked back at Tsunade looking completely confused. Sasuke glared harder at Tsunade who ignored him and nodded at Naruto.
'Yes, perform.' Tsunade explained. 'In bed. Was the brat able to satisfy you?'
Naruto eyes grew wide in realization and he blushed right up to his ears.
'They'll be fine.' Itachi chuckled. 'Let's leave these matters to them. Shall we start our meal, now that everyone is here?'
'It's a complete Uchiha breakfast today.' Deidera smiled proudly, gesturing for the maids to start serving breakfast.
'Do have plenty, Naruto-kun.' Itachi smiled softly at Naruto. ' This is all for you.'
'Thank you, your majesty.' Naruto blushed and shyly nodded. Was it just him, or did he see flowers floating about when the king smiled at him?
The breakfast went a little longer than usual. They took their time and continued with their light conversation as they enjoyed their meal. Tsunade and Iruka continued with their catching up, while Deidera excitedly filled Naruto's plate with more food and Naruto shyly stole glances at Itachi who peacefully enjoyed his meal. Sasuke on the other hand remained unusually silent throughout breakfast.
After breakfast, Itachi and Sasuke excused themselves to attend their meeting leaving the rest to continue with their conversation.
'I've invited Danzou to the meeting.' Itachi said as they walked through the corridors towards the main building.
'Tch.' Sasuke frowned.
'It was unavoidable.' Itachi chuckled.
'He just wants to make it difficult for me.' Sasuke said, not looking forward to the meeting so much anymore.
'He can be annoying.' Itachi nodded. It wasn't a secret that Danzou was not very fond of Sasuke, though, no one really knew why. Sasuke couldn't care less, but when he tried to make things difficult for him on purpose, Sasuke wished he were allowed just one murder.
'I'll just have to ignore him… and his unnecessary questions.' Sasuke said as they reached the entrance to the royal hall.
'Sasuke.' Itachi paused in front of the doors, which made Sasuke stop in his tracks and face Itachi. ' I want you to keep the important details for later. For now, just touch on the main points and try not disclose your strategy.'
'Yes, Nii-san.' Sasuke nodded, knowing very well that Itachi did not trust Danzou and that he wanted to keep the man out of the matters that concerned the country's security.
The guards opened the doors for them and they entered the large hall that already had people waiting for them seated on their designated places on either side of the passage that led to the king's throne at the end of the hall.
Everyone stood up as Itachi and Sasuke made their way to the end of the hall. Itachi sat down on the throne and Sasuke stood next to Itachi on his right hand side.
'Please be seated.' Itachi nodded and everyone sat down.
'Congratulations, my prince!' a voice suddenly boomed through the hall. Sasuke mentally sweat dropped as his eyes landed on the owner of that voice. Of course. A tall man, with thick eyebrows wearing what looked like green spandex grinned at him from his seat, giving him a thumbs up.
'I couldn't attend the joyful event since I was away on a mission, but I want you to know, that even though I couldn't be there, I was celebrating for you in my heart!' The man thumped his chest to emphasize his words.
Sasuke wanted to roll his eyes, but he just settled for a simple. 'Thank you, Gai-sensei.'
'And worry not, I shall still celebrate with you.' Gai grinned wider and Sasuke mentally panicked.
'Don't worry, Gai.' Itachi interrupted. 'We'll celebrate over a few drinks soon. Kakashi missed it too.'
'The more the merrier.' Gai laughed, turning to face Kakashi who was seated next to him. 'And since my eternal rival seems to have missed it too, I don't feel so guilty anymore.'
Gai gave Kakashi a thumbs up, which was completely ignored.
'Perhaps we should get started soon.' A low voice said in a bored manner and everyone turned to face the owner of the voice. A slightly aged man sat a few seats away from the king, half his face covered in bandages, with a proud look on his face. 'I'm sure we have other places to be as well?'
'Of course, Danzou-san.' Itachi nodded. 'We wouldn't want to take too much of your time.'
He nodded at Sasuke who stiffly nodded back and gestured for a guard behind him to bring the scrolls.
'But, Danzou-san,' Itachi said clamly, 'Please don't let us keep you from your other engagements. Please feel free to attend to them if they're urgent.'
There was a short silence where Danzou looked at Itachi with an unreadable expression and Itachi returned the look with a calm face.
'Thank you,' Danzou tilted his head as a short bow, 'my king.'
'We understand.' Itachi nodded and gestured for Sasuke to continue.
The meeting went smoothly and Sasuke left a few keys points out, keeping in mind what Itachi had told him before the meeting. Though, that didn't really stop Danzou from asking him unnecessary questions and finding faults in his strategies.
When the meeting was over, everyone immediately headed out to carry out their share of duties. The security of their country was of great priority and the Uchiha's took pride in the fact that there had never been a successful invasion in their history. The land had always belonged to the Uchiha's and they were determined to keep it that way.
'Sasuke.' Itachi called him once the hall was empty. Sasuke handed the scrolls to the guard and walked over to Itachi.
'I want you to keep another meeting tonight for us.' Itachi said in a low voice. 'Inform the jounins, anbu captains and Tsunade.'
Sasuke nodded. 'The council members?'
'That wont be necessary.' Itachi shook his head. He thought for a minute and placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder. 'I also want you to swap places with Asuma. You're needed in the palace.'
'But I've already ordered my squad to head to the borders at dawn.' Sasuke explained.
'Sasuke,' Itachi squeezed his shoulder. 'I need you to be in the palace.'
Sasuke wasn't sure why Itachi was being so stubborn, but he knew better than to disobey him. His brother never made rash decisions.
Sasuke nodded and Itachi patted his shoulder.
'I've asked Deidera to bring Naruto-kun to the training grounds once the meeting is over.' Itachi said standing up from his throne. 'It's not customary, but every captain introduces his new bride to his men. You flaunt your bride to your men and your men's skills to your bride.'
'The training ground?' Sasuke felt a little uncertain. His men were very disciplined and Sasuke took pride in that, but there would be other shinobis in the training ground as well and somehow he didn't like that idea.
'You can't do it?' Itachi asked raising his eyebrows slightly.
'I can.' Sasuke blurted before he could stop himself. Damn it !
'Good. You'll need to rush then, Naruto should already be there.' Itachi mentally chuckled. Sometimes he felt guilty about being able to manipulate Sasuke like that, but what kind of an elder brother would he be if he didn't know how to use his little brother's weaknesses to his advantage.
Sasuke nodded and hastily made his way out of the hall and towards the training grounds.
Sometimes he wanted to chidori Itachi's smirking face. Doing something like this was completely out of his comfort zone. He hadn't even been able to have a proper conversation with Naruto, how was he supposed to flaunt him to his shinobis?
Kakashi was going to have a field day.
'Sasuke is a bit of a workaholic.' Deidera giggled as he walked Naruto through the large corridors. 'He's very much like Itachi that way. So you shouldn't mind if he spends too much time in his study.'
Naruto nodded and smiled. He was getting a chance to learn about the prince and he didn't want to interrupt Deidera.
'He's always been very hard working, even as child.' Deidera smiled softly. 'I remember when he was first learning the katon jutsu, he was only five, but he had great determination for someone that small. He practiced continuously for days, burnt his fingers and lips but didn't stop until he mastered it.'
Naruto smiled watching Deidera's soft expression. He treated the prince like his own brother.
'I've heard of the katon jutsu.' Naruto said eagerly. 'Though I've never actually seen it, but I've read about it in books back in Konoha.'
'Oh, I'm sure you'll come across it very often here in the land of wind.' Deidera said. 'It's actually a basic Uchiha jutsu.'
'I'd love to see it.' Naruto felt excited. 'Ninjutsu was not allowed within the palace grounds, so I haven't really seen many of them.'
'Well, then, lucky you Naruto-kun.' Deidera nudged Naruto teasingly. 'You're married to one of our strongest shinobis. I'm sure Sasuke wouldn't mind putting up a small performance for you.'
'No…I…' Naruto blushed and shook his head. 'I wouldn't want to bother…'
'Oh common.' Deidera giggled. 'It's the least he could do since he's so terrible in the romance department.'
Naruto blushed again.
'You'll have to be patient with him.' Deidera said. 'Give him time, okay, Naruto-kun? This kind of thing is completely new to him.'
Naruto nodded shyly. As a boy bride, Naruto had been brought up a perfect partner for someone of royal/ noble blood but something like this was completely new to him too. He had perfect manners and he knew how he was supposed to behave in the royal society, but he was completely lost when it came to love.
What does one do when in love, anyway?
He had read about princesses being courted by princes in romance novels, but there was never a story that told him what happens after a marriage. There had never been a story that began with the prince marrying the princess.
He blushed as he wondered if the prince would court him. He obviously had never been courted before, would he be able to tell if the prince was courting? Would the prince court him?
Would he love him?
Would the prince ever love him the way he…
He paused.
The way he…loved him?
Did he?
Did he 'love' the prince?
Naruto's brows furrowed as he realized that he had never given this a thought. He was married to the prince and just as he was taught in Konoha, he wanted to be the perfect bride for his husband. But, did he love him?
'He might seem a little distant right now.' Deidera continued to explain. 'But Sasuke is a very kind boy, you'll get to know very soon.'
Naruto nodded slowly.
Deidera continued to talk about Sasuke, completely unaware of the little turmoil that had just begun in Naruto's heart.
They walked through a few more corridors and finally reached a large courtyard. Naruto stared down in awe at the massive expanse of land in the middle of the palace. They were standing on top of the stairs that ran all the way around the borders of the courtyard and looked down at the shinobis who were busy training with different weapons.
'Come, Sasuke should be a little further ahead.' Deidera said as he led Naruto along the borders to a separate area where a few shinobis were practicing archery.
'There he is.' Deidera whispered as he spotted Sasuke standing in position next to Kakashi, who was in a similar stance.
Naruto's heart gave a small jump in his chest at the sight of the prince. He watched the prince stretch the bow and aim his arrow, face calm and serious with concentration. The Uchiha prince was indeed very beautiful.
The prince had taken off one of his sleeves, which was hanging on his side. He stood still as he aimed at the target a good distance from where he was standing. Naruto squinted his eye and wondered how the prince was able to see it from so far away. He waited a few seconds more and let the arrow fly. A loud 'thwack' told Naruto that Sasuke had hit the target and he almost clapped in excitement.
'Oh, they're competing.' Deidera said excitedly.
Naruto watched as Kakashi let go of his arrow and a similar 'thwack' told them that Kakashi had hit the target too.
'Is it a draw?' Naruto asked, but Deidera shrugged.
'We don't know yet.' Deidera explained. 'They'll need to check.'
Two shinobis suddenly appeared next to Sasuke and Kakashi with a poof and Kakashi patted Sasuke's back as they told them something.
'Looks like Sasuke won!' Deidera said with a proud look in his face.
Naruto watched Sasuke hand his bow over to a shinobi and look directly up at them. Naruto's heart gave another little jump as the prince met his eyes and nodded at him. Shyly, he gave a little wave.
'Come, Naruto.' Deidera said ' We can go to them now.'
Naruto followed Deidera down the stairs and into the field where Sasuke and Kakashi stood with a group of other shinobis. They walked up to them and everyone greeted Deidera while Naruto stood behind him feeling a little reluctant to stand in front of so many shinobis.
'Kakashi, wasn't there something you wanted to show me?' Deidera asked sweetly.
'Ah, yes, of course.' Kakashi nodded. 'It's this way. Sasuke, handle the rest.'
With that, Kakashi and Deidera walked away further into the field before they could stop them. Naruto kept his head down as he felt the gaze of the other shinobis on him, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
'Naruto,' He looked up to find the prince standing next to him. 'These are our country's shinobis and they are in my squad. This Sai and Lee, they're in charge in my absence.'
'Pleased to make your acquaintance, my lady.' The shinobi with amazingly thick eyebrows and clad in green suit said loudly as he bowed to Naruto deeply.
'Hello.' The other shinobi, who looked a little familiar to Naruto for some reason, smiled at him.
The other shinobis bowed in greeting. Naruto smiled at them and opened his mouth to greet them when suddenly he felt a gentle hand on his back. He looked to his side and his mind went blank as he noticed it was the prince's hand.
It felt large and strong against his small back.
'My bride, Uchiha Naruto.' Naruto blushed deeply at how the prince referred to him. My bride…Uchiha Naruto…
'Nice to meet you.' Was all Naruto could manage as couldn't trust himself to speak with his heart thumping wildly in his chest.
My bride…Uchiha Naruto…
'Sai, my friend, that is no way to greet the prince's bride!' Lee burst out. 'A simple hello is too cold!'
'Oh.' Sai's smile vanished from his face and he looked at Naruto solemnly. 'Forgive me.'
Naruto's eyes widened in panic as Sai slowly moved towards him with his arms wide open. He unconsciously took a step back against Sasuke's hand to avoid what was coming but Sasuke quickly placed his other hand on Sai's chest just in time, holding him back.
'What do you think you're doing, Sai?' Sasuke growled. Sai blinked in confusion.
'I'm giving Naruto-kun a hug.' Sai said honestly and Sasuke glared at him darkly. The other shinobis tensed and said silent prayers for their vice captain.
'Sai, my socially challenged friend, you can't address the lady by her name.' Lee gasped. 'And you can't offer our lady a hug. It is inappropriate. She is our prince's bride. She's royalty. You bow down to her, my youthful friend.'
'Forgive me.' Sai apologized again and bowed his head.
'It's okay' Naruto smiled and Sasuke moved his hand away from Sai's chest. The shinobis sighed a breath of relief and giggled goofily seeing Naruto smile.
'Welcome to the land of wind, my lady.' Lee grinned widely. 'It was very unfortunate that I couldn't attend your highness's wedding celebration.'
'Please don't worry about it, Lee-san.' Naruto giggled. This person was very funny. 'And um…'
He wondered if Lee actually thought he was a girl or it was just a way of addressing him, like how Miko-san had called him 'Madam' in the morning.
'You don't have to call me 'my lady'.' Naruto tried putting it in a safe way. 'Naruto is fine.'
'Oh, I couldn't.' Lee shook his head. 'You're our prince's wife, I couldn't allow myself.'
Yup, he thinks he's a girl.
'I insist, Lee-san.' Naruto said.
'I wouldn't deny the lady's request.' Lee puffed out his chest. 'Very well, Naruto-sama.'
Naruto smiled in relief.
'You're a girl?' The shinobis tensed up again and looked at their taichou warily. Sasuke gave Sai, who had asked the question, a warning look, which went completely unnoticed so he continued. 'I thought you were a boy.'
'EH?!' Lee looked at Sai in shock. 'Sai, that is rude! Naruto-sama please forgive him, he is not very perceptive. I assure you, you are a very beautiful woman.'
Naruto sweatdropped. Someone needed to tell this guy…
'Lee.' Sasuke pinched the bridge of his nose. 'Naruto is my boy bride.'
There was a silence where Lee went still and everyone waited for his reaction. Naruto started to feel a little worried. Did he break the shinobi?
'What do you mean, taichou?' Lee asked tilting his head. The shinobis facepalmed.
Sasuke was getting irritated. 'It means-'
'He has a penis.'
There was silence again and the air around them suddenly grew cold. The shinobis mentally weeped. Taichou was going to kill all of them, their vice captain was going to make sure of it. They all stood still, a wise decision when the prince was angry, as Sasuke glared daggers at Sai who innocently smiled at Naruto.
'And he has no boo-'
Poof ! crackle! smack!
An amused Kakashi appeared between Sasuke and Sai out of nowhere with a grin behind his mask. His one hand was slapped over Sai's, still grinning, mouth while the other held Sasuke's hand that was sizzling with chidori inches away from Sai's face.
'Now now, Sasuke.' Deidera was walking up to them and Naruto felt relief flood over him at the sight of him. 'We will need your vice captain in one piece.'
Kakashi slowly let go as the chidori vanished from Sasuke's hand and chuckled. 'Sai, my boy, I think you're wanted by Asuma.'
'Ah, yes senpai.' Sai smiled and vanished in a poof, leaving the other shinobis to mentally thank their masked savior.
'Are you okay, Naruto-kun?' Deidera asked giving Naruto a tight hug. 'You poor thing, I should've have warned you about Sai.'
'I'm okay.' Naruto smiled and nodded.
'Ah, I almost forgot.' Deidera's face lit up. 'Sasuke, be a darling and perform a katon justu.'
Sasuke's raised his eyebrows. 'jutsus are not for entertainment, Deidera.'
'Just a small one is fine.' Deidera pouted.
'Deidera…' Sasuke sighed.
'Aw, that's okay.' Deidera made a sad face. 'Don't' worry Naruto-kun, we'll ask Itachi to perform it for you.'
'Deidera.' Sasuke said again, and Deidera looked at him expectantly. ' Nii-san is busy. Go up the stairs.'
'Okay.' Deidera smiled happily and took Naruto up the stairs, a little further away. Naruto wondered if he was being a nuisance to the prince. He should ask Deidera to take him to his room after this, he didn't want to disrupt the prince's training more than he already had.
Kakashi and the shinobis stepped back a little as well, to avoid getting in the way. Without wasting any time, Sasuke brought his hand up to his mouth, puffed up his chest and blew through his fingers. Naruto gasped as a massive ball of fire swirled and roared in front of them, filling the area with hot air. He watched, feeling completely captivated, as the ball of flame blazed brightly for a few more seconds before vanishing into thin air.
'Waah.' Naruto clapped excitedly. So that was a real jutsu?! He had never seen anything so magnificent. A soft giggle from Deidera snapped him out of his fascinated state and he blushed as he realized that he gotten carried away in his excitement.
'Did you like it, Naruto-kun?' Deidera giggled harder. Naruto blushed a deeper colour and nodded, feeling very embarrassed.
'That was quite a big one.' Kakashi said as he walked up to them with Sasuke. 'Were you impressed, Naruto-kun?'
'It was bigger than I expected.' Naruto nodded excitedly.
'It was bigger than I expected too.' Kakashi chuckled and nudged Sasuke, who just glared at him.
'Right, what do you want to see next, Naruto-kun?' Deidera asked eagerly 'Sasuke can do a much bigger version of the chidori too. Would you like to see it?'
Naruto face lit up with excitement. He had always wanted to see the kage bunshin jutsu ! He opened his mouth to request, but quickly shut it again. He probably should go back now. He didn't want to waste the prince's time.
'I just wanted to see the katon jutsu, thank you.' Naruto smiled at Deidera. ' I think I'd like to go back to my room, please.'
Deidera looked at Naruto carefully and smiled back. 'Sure, if that's what you want. We'll save the other jutsus for some other time. Let's head back to your quarters.'
'I'll walk you.' Sasuke said and Naruto looked at him, a little taken aback. 'I need to check something in my study.'
'Ah, of course, check something in the study' Kakashi, not so subtly, winked and nudged Sasuke again. Sasuke just ignored him.
'Very well.' Deidera said, grinning from ear to ear. 'I needed to see Itachi anyway. Yes, you should walk Naruto to your quarters.'
Naruto blushed at their reaction and quickly excused himself and followed Sasuke.
They walked in silence as they walked side by side, through the many corridors of the palace. Naruto wondered if he would ever be familiar with them. The prince stood tall next to Naruto, and he noticed that he was walking slower to match Naruto's pace. He felt himself smile softly at the thoughtfulness and had to look away to hide it.
He dared to think that the prince was actually kind of cute, and had to purse his lips to control his smile from spreading wider.
They walked through a long familiar corridor and reached the prince's quarters, where the guards bowed to them at the entrance. As they got nearer to the prince's room, the prince cleared his throat to get Naruto's attention and said, 'If you could please follow me to the study, there's something I would like to show you.'
'Y-yes, of course.' Naruto said, a little taken aback. He hoped he hadn't damaged anything when he had fallen from the shelves.
The prince led him to the study and opened the door for him to enter. He walked up to his desk and Naruto followed him. The prince then went behind his desk, pulled one of the drawers and took out a picture frame. Naruto's eyes widened as he recognized the frame.
'It's just a family portrait.' The prince said, handing it to Naruto. 'I thought you might want to have a look.'
Naruto blushed as he took the frame and looked at it. It was a small painting of two beautiful couple and a young boy holding a baby in his arms.
'My parents.' Sasuke explained. 'The young boy is Itachi and the uh…the baby is me.'
This was the picture Naruto had been trying to reach before falling off the shelf. Naruto couldn't stop smiling as his heart filled with a warm feeling.
'It's a beautiful portrait.' Naruto said, as he looked up at the prince, his lips still spread into a wide smile. He didn't care if he looked stupid. His entire body buzzed with a wonderful feeling, and he suddenly felt too happy to care. 'Thank you for showing it to me.'
The prince looked a little surprised, but he nodded.
'If you need anything, please call one of the guards.' Sasuke said walking behind one of the shelves. 'And this is for you.'
The prince pulled out a small stool from behind the shelf and placed it on the floor.
'Incase you can't reach something.' He said.
Naruto almost giggled. He bit his lower lip and grinned brightly at the prince. 'Thank you very much. That was very thoughtful of you.'
'Yes, well..' Sasuke looked away from Naruto.
Was that a blush? Naruto bit his lip harder.
'If you'll excuse me, I need to head back to my squad.' With that said, the prince quickly walked out of the study. As soon as he left, Naruto burst into a fit of giggles. The prince had gotten him a stool so he could reach higher shelves. He found it very funny, but sweet at the same time. Very very sweet.
He looked down at the painting, not being able to stop smiling. He learnt something new today.
The brave strong Uchiha prince was absolutely adorable.
