"Wake up…"
Naruto heard a soft whisper and then felt the gentle touch of lips against his cheek, the soft lips kissing his marks one by one.
"Angel…"
Naruto parted his eyes slowly, his husband's handsome face and breathtaking smile covering his vision.
"Yeah," Sasuke kept whispering as he kissed the tip of his angel's button nose. "Good morning, my love."
Naruto sighed deeply and blinked a few times, trying to clear his mind.
"Are you still sleepy?" Sasuke asked with an adorning smile before kissing his angel's exposed shoulder.
Naruto nodded without a word and tangled a hand in Sasuke's thick hair as his husband buried his face in his neck.
"Then don't go," Sasuke said. "Stay here in our warm bed. Do the things you like. Go to see around and hang out with people. Think of me all day long… How about that?"
Naruto nodded as he sat up on the bed. "Good morning."
"Morning, angel," Sasuke breathed and kissed Naruto's plump lips like he was taking a deep, fresh breath.
Naruto kissed his husband back with a soft smile.
Five months of marriage and Sasuke was still trying to get him to leave the hospital. Naruto had told him many times that he liked his job, he liked helping people and Sasuke needed to be a little more understanding. He knew his need to have Naruto all to himself, so Naruto tried to provide him with his love and care as much as he could.
Naruto held onto his husband's shoulders as Sasuke picked his naked body up and carried him to the bathroom for a morning shower.
As always, Naruto made sure to touch his husband a lot and let him hold him as long as he wanted. He washed Sasuke's hair gently and kissed back whenever Sasuke's insistent lips touched his own. They hugged under the warm water and stayed inside for a long while.
"No night shift tonight, right?" Sasuke questioned as Naruto helped him to get dressed.
"No," Naruto shook his head with a smile. Sasuke despised night shifts.
"Good," Sasuke grunted as Naruto adjusted his tie.
Naruto giggled. "Let's have breakfast."
Sasuke nodded and they walked to the kitchen together. They had a small but fulfilling breakfast. It was as joyful as their every day.
Sometimes Naruto couldn't believe how his life had turned out to be. Sasuke had made everything perfect. He couldn't think of going on without him anymore. He was Naruto's everything and he tried to make him happy as much as he could.
After saying their goodbyes to Kyuubi, they left hand in hand. As usual, Sasuke took him to the hospital personally. In the evenings, he came to take him and when he couldn't because of a business he needed to take care of, he sent Naruto a car for his use.
"So," Naruto smiled at his husband as they stood before the hospital gates. "I'll see you tonight, okay?"
"Nine hours and fifteen minutes later," Sasuke supplied immediately.
Naruto laughed softly and cupped his husband's cheeks. "You are sooo adorable. I love you."
After getting to know his husband further, Naruto had realized how insecure he sometimes could be. His insecurities always concerned Naruto. He feared of losing him. He feared of Naruto leaving him and not loving him anymore. They were all unnecessary but Naruto knew that his husband's fears were reflections of his past. Sasuke didn't show it, but Naruto knew how his mother's abandon affected him. She was like an invisible wall Sasuke couldn't get over.
Naruto knew that he needed to do something to help him... But how?
"I love you more," Sasuke responded, taking his angel in his arms tightly.
Naruto hugged back and kissed Sasuke's neck, causing him to shiver.
"Naruto!"
They looked to the side to see Sakura standing over the stairs, looking at them with a frown.
"I hate her," Sasuke hissed.
"I'm coming sensei!" Naruto called and then looked at his husband. "Don't say that!"
"She's jealous of you!" Sasuke snapped.
Naruto's eyes widened. "Why should she be? She's a doctor and I'm just a nurse."
"Stop saying that," Sasuke frowned. "You're so beautiful and perfect. That's why she's jealous."
Naruto shook his head and then smiled. "And I have you… Now smile for me, my husband?"
Sasuke couldn't help but smile slowly. "I'll see you tonight."
"Yup," Naruto nodded. Raising on his tiptoes, he kissed Sasuke's lips quickly. "See you!"
Sasuke waved after his angel till he left his eyeshot. He grabbed his phone as he settled in his car.
"Are the documents ready?" He smirked as he started the car. "Good."
"I'm so tired," Naruto moaned as he left the hospital along with his fellow nurses.
But as soon as he saw his husband waiting for him, he forgot all about his weariness. He run to his Sasuke with a huge smile and threw himself in his arms.
"Sasuke!" He cried happily. "Can we get hamburgers for dinner?"
His husband chuckled and caressed his back. "Of course."
"Yes!" Naruto smiled.
Sasuke laughed softly. Kissing his angel's forehead, he handed him the thin case he was holding. "I got you a small present."
"Ah," Naruto gasped excitedly. Sasuke always gave him presents and Naruto loved every single one of them.
As soon as he opened the case, his eyes widened.
"Wh-What is this?" He stuttered.
Sasuke only shrugged.
"You bought the hospital I work for?" Naruto cried.
Sasuke gave a nod. "For you, it's yours now."
"M-Mine?" Naruto cried louder. "Have you gone crazy?"
"How many times have I told you I don't like you getting too tired?" Sasuke frowned. "This hospital is yours now. No one can order you around anymore. No one can tell you what to do. No one can make you come here every single day in the crack of dawn."
Naruto gulped, then bit his lips and then started laughing.
"I-I have my own hos-hic-pital!" He cried.
"Yes, angel," Sasuke smiled, happy that his angel accepted his present.
"Can I change its name?" Naruto asked with wide eyes as they walked to the car.
"Sure you can," Sasuke smiled.
"Uhmm," Naruto thought for a while. "How about Kyushu Hospital?"
Sasuke smiled. "Sounds good."
Naruto watched the full moon with soft eyes. He put a hand against his abdomen and caressed it with a soft smile. Whatever important happened in his life, moon had always been his witness.
Turning to the coffee table, he took his phone and made a call about a subject he spent many sleepless nights thinking over. "Kakashi-san, I need your help… But it needs to be a secret between us."
As soon as Naruto left his phone on the couch, the doorbell rang. With a smile, he ran to the door and opened it quickly.
"Welcome home!" He smiled as his husband walked inside.
"I'm home," Sasuke smiled back and was quick to take his angel in his arms. "I'm sorry, angel. There was something I needed to take care of."
"It's okay," Naruto smiled. "Are you hungry?"
"I ate something with Jiraiya," Sasuke replied kissing his angel's lips.
"Okay," Naruto nodded. "Then take your shower as I prepare some tea and the cake I made."
"Ah," Sasuke smirked. "A new recipe?"
"Yes!" Naruto nodded with wide eyes. "Super intense chocolate cake!"
"Wow," Sasuke chuckled. "I'll be quick."
Naruto nodded and walked to the kitchen. He prepared two mugs of tea and carried them to their coffee table. Next, he took his cake out of the fridge with wide eyes. It looked so good with melted chocolate dripping to the sides. He carried it to the table as well and then rushed to the kitchen to get plates. By the time he settled on the floor, Sasuke was out of the bathroom with his wet hair and a towel around his shoulders.
"How was work today?" Sasuke asked as he sat down on the floor beside his angel.
Naruto shrugged with a smile. "I was mostly in my room. And then I came home early to make our cake."
Sasuke nodded, pleased with what he heard. Ever since taking over the hospital two years ago, Naruto had decreased his working hours, Sasuke was content with their life routine.
"How about you?" Naruto asked as he cut the cake and put a big slice in Sasuke's plate.
"There was a wave among the small groups," Sasuke explained as he ate his cake. "I just took them under control."
Naruto frowned worriedly. "That sounds dangerous."
"Don't worry, no one was hurt," Sasuke smiled. "This cake is delicious."
"Really?" Naruto smiled back.
"Yeah," Sasuke nodded as he sipped his tea.
"Uhmm," Naruto cleared his throat. "I need to tell you something."
Sasuke dropped his fork and faced Naruto immediately. "What is it?"
Naruto smiled softly. No matter what, his husband always gave him his full attention.
"You know how I wasn't feeling well these last weeks?" Naruto questioned gently.
Sasuke nodded fastly. His angel had been sick, tired, sleepy, he had even fainted once or twice.
"Yes?" Sasuke feared the answer his angel would give him.
"Our doctors checked me today," Naruto said softly.
Sasuke nodded slowly, biting the inside of his cheek. What if something fatal was wrong with his angel? What then? Sasuke would go crazy for sure.
"And, I'm..." Naruto looked down with a blush. "I'm pregnant, Sasuke. We will have a baby."
Sasuke's eyes widened and a gasp left his lips. "I-Is this true?"
Biting his lips, Naruto nodded as tears filled his eyes. "W-We will have a b-baby... Maybe a son? Just like you always wanted."
Naruto gasped as his husband took him in his arms suddenly, kissing him intensely. Naruto kissed his Sasuke back with the same passion, knowing that this was a turning point in their lives. After a while, Naruto couldn't support Sasuke's leaning weight on him and ended up lying on the carpeted floor. Sasuke pushed his t-shirt upwards and touched his angel's flat stomach in wonder.
"I can't feel it," Sasuke frowned.
Naruto giggled. "It's so tiny right now... Look," He pulled out a small paper out of his pocket and showed it to his husband.
Sasuke's frown deepened as he gazed at the ultrasound print. "I can't see anything."
A new fit of giggles possessed Naruto's lithe body.
"Look here," He point a small dark dot in the middle of the whiteness.
"That's so small..." Sasuke commented. "Are you healthy though?"
"Yes," Naruto nodded with a smile. "Don't worry. We are both fine."
Sasuke nodded as he bit his lips. He blinked a few times and understanding what his husband needed, Naruto opened his arms. Without a word, Sasuke settled down and buried his face in his angel's neck as he wrapped his arms around his body.
"We love you so much," Naruto whispered as his husband's tears wet his shoulder.
Sasuke held on tighter.
His whole world was composed of this angel he held in his arms, nothing more.
"We are here, Naruto-sama," The driver said as he opened the door for him.
Naruto left the luxurious car carefully. He nodded at the driver as he pulled the two sides of his long coat together, shielding his five months along bump from the chilly weather.
"Could you please get my bag?" Naruto asked and the driver nodded wildly before grabbing the black, leather bag and following after Naruto.
Naruto walked by the long line of people who were waiting to be accepted in to his husband's club without halting.
"Welcome, Naruto-sama!" The bodyguards cried as they saw him and bowed down as much as they could.
Naruto nodded. "Do you know where my husband is?"
"In his suit," The guard supplied immediately.
Naruto nodded and entered inside. Immediately, four bodyguards circled around him and guided him through the crowd, protecting him from the people. He went up the floor with the elevator and wasn't surprised to find the third floor completely empty of any guests.
When he was called by Suigetsu, Naruto had nearly had a heart attack. A gang fight had occurred and there were wounded people, with Sasuke among them. Suigetsu had assured him that it was nothing life threatening, but they still needed Naruto to patch up a few people.
"Hey, Naruto," Suigetsu smiled pathetically, blood dripping from somewhere in his head.
"Sit," Naruto ordered with a scoff.
Suigetsu nodded with wide eyes, scared of Naruto suddenly.
Naruto was quick to find the source of the blood. He cleaned the wound and patched Suigetsu with years' ease. He opened his bag and found a painkiller.
"Take this before going to sleep," He ordered.
"Thank you," Suigetsu nodded as he stood up.
"Next!" Naruto shouted.
Another lightly wounded man sat before Naruto and he tended to the man. Naruto was quick. He took care of six men in total and none of them had too bad wounds. He advised them which medicine to take and if they didn't get any better, he told them to come to the hospital for a checkup.
"Where is Sasuke?" Naruto questioned finally.
"Inside," Suigetsu pointed the door to the private suit.
"Do not disturb us," Naruto ordered and his husband's men all bowed down to him as he entered the room.
Sasuke was sitting on the couch without any cloth hindering his sculptured looking, upper body. He had a towel in his hand and he was pressing it against his right shoulder where crimson blood was dirtying his upper arm.
Naruto's eyes blurred at the sight.
"Angel," Sasuke called out softly.
Naruto shook his head as he sniffled. "You don't love me anymore."
Sasuke's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"
"You don't love me anymore!" Naruto shouted as tears left his eyes. "How many times have you gotten hurt?"
Sasuke frowned.
"How many times have I told you to be more careful?" Naruto sobbed. "Do you ever stop and think how I feel?"
Biting his lips, Sasuke looked down.
"I'm pregnant and we will have a baby, I'm supposed to be happy but all I do is worry about you!" Naruto sniffled and wiped away his tears furiously. He walked to the glass wall and looked at the club, watching the dancing bodies of countless people for a while. "I've changed, haven't I? Is that why you don't love me anymore?"
Sasuke threw the bloody towel away and stood up with a deep frown.
"I'm fat," Naruto sniffled. "Fat and ugly, not like any of them."
Sasuke looked where his angel was pointing at and saw the dancers moving sensually on the stage.
"Sasuke," Naruto sobbed. "D-Don't leave me, please… I'll try to be like them. Like-"
"Enough," Sasuke hissed. Turning his angel around, Sasuke trapped him in his embrace tightly.
Naruto panted for a deep breath between his sobs. "Y-You think I'm so pathetic, right? I don't have any pride left, just my love for you…"
Sasuke cupped Naruto's cheeks and looked into his teary eyes. "Where did this not loving you anymore thing came from?"
Naruto shrugged without meeting Sasuke's gaze.
"How about leaving you?" Sasuke questioned, but as expected, he got no response.
Growling, Sasuke crashed his lips against Naruto's, kissing his angel aggressively. Naruto tried to push his husband away but it was no use. Sasuke only held him tighter and kissed him more passionately.
"You are the sole meaning of my life," Sasuke said as he looked into his angel's eyes. "I know you're stressed out nowadays and I'm sorry for making you worried but stop thinking those hideous things."
Naruto shrugged as he looked down.
Sasuke sighed, taking his angel's hand, he took him to the couch. He let Naruto settle down before sitting right beside him.
"I know it's so hard for you," Sasuke spoke gently as his hand caressed his angel's baby bump soothingly. "I know you're worried about our son and I'm not helping you much nowadays… Jiraiya's thinking of retiring and I'm trying to take care of everything, I guess I'm not completely ready yet, huh?"
Naruto bit his lips as he looked down with a blush.
"I know that these mood swings are confusing to you, but it's okay to take it out on me," Sasuke kissed his angel's eyelids gently. "I love anything that comes from you."
Naruto nodded as tears started leaving his eyes once again. He touched the wound on Sasuke's shoulder with shaking hands.
"It's nothing," Sasuke soothed. "Just a scratch."
Naruto nodded. Sniffling, he found an unused injector and numbed his husband's shoulder quickly. He cleaned out the wound and sighed in relief to find it rather shallow. As he stitched the injury, Sasuke spent his time with touching and feeling their unborn son and placing kisses along his angel's neck and chin.
Naruto took out a painkiller box from his bag and gave his husband one. He found a glass and filling it water he handed it to Sasuke. Sitting down again, he wrapped Sasuke's injury tightly and then tied his hands in his lap as he looked down at them.
With a smile, Sasuke wrapped his arms around his angel. He knew what was happening. Naruto had a really bad mood swing. He had lashed out at Sasuke. He had calmed down. He had realized what he had done. Now he was extremely embarrassed.
"How have you been today?" Sasuke asked as he caressed his angel's hair. He had no intention of talking about what happened a few minutes ago. He wouldn't embarrass his angel any further.
Naruto shrugged.
"How about our son?" Sasuke questioned this time. "Did he upset you?"
"No," Naruto replied with a small voice.
"Good," Sasuke raised his angel's face and met with his bloodshot eyes. "Then he doesn't mind if I spend some time with his mom, right?"
Naruto shrugged both of his shoulders.
Sasuke smiled and kissed his angel deeply. He kissed him like he was the only thing that mattered to him and he was. He kissed him like he couldn't breathe without him and he couldn't. He kissed him like he couldn't see anyone else and he couldn't.
Sasuke made love to his angel on that uncomfortable couch like nothing else mattered.
And it didn't.
Naruto hummed to himself as he caressed his nine months along stomach with a smile. He looked up as his daily drama started.
He hadn't been working for a few months now. It was really boring at first but he had gotten used to it. He was spending his time with getting ready for his baby and caring for his husband. In the meantime, he had started watching a lot of TV and had found new dramas to follow. Some of them made him cry too much that Sasuke wanted to forbid him from watching but he had no power over Naruto's pleading eyes.
"Here is your tea, Naruto-sama," A young woman put down a tray over the nesting table under Naruto's hand.
"Thank you," Naruto smiled up to his maid.
Sasuke's craziness about him had leveled up and he had found a maid to serve Naruto at home. She cooked, cleaned and helped Naruto around. It was awkward at first. Naruto wasn't used to anyone serving him but he couldn't deny that she helped a lot. Especially now, since he couldn't move as freely as he would have liked.
He sipped his fruit tea and sighed. "You know what would have been great?"
"What?" The maid questioned.
"Fries… Potato and sausage fries with hot ketchup on them," Naruto bit hip lips, even the image in his head caused his mouth to water.
The maid gasped. "Why you're not telling me, Naruto-sama?! I'll make it for you right now!"
"No, no," Naruto protested. "It's okay."
"No!" She shook her head and hurried to the kitchen.
Naruto sighed. He needed to talk to Sasuke once again. Every evening, when he got home, he was getting a lengthy report of the day from her and then asking Naruto if he was pleased with her services. He didn't hesitate to tell her that if his angel wasn't pleased, she would suffer greatly. The poor girl was always on alert, trying to make Naruto happy as much as she could.
Naruto was munching on his fries happily when the doorbell rang.
The maid run to the door and opened it quickly. "Welcome."
"Thank you," Kakashi gave the woman a flirty smile and walked inside. "Hello!"
"Welcome," Naruto called with a smile.
"What are you eating?" Kakashi asked as he sat beside the Kyushu bride.
Naruto held the plate closer to his chest. "You wouldn't like it!"
"Oh," Kakashi chuckled. "Won't you share?"
Naruto scoffed. "I'm already sharing it with my baby!"
Kakashi laughed loudly.
"I'll make you some immediately!" The maid cried.
"No, thanks," Kakashi flashed her a smile, making her blush. "I wouldn't say no to some tea though."
"Right away!" She bowed down and run to the kitchen, Kakashi watching after her like a hawk.
"Stop trying to impress her!" Naruto hissed.
"Why not?" Kakashi asked lazily.
"She's a nice girl. She deserves better than you," Naruto glared at the white haired man.
"Oh, Naru-chan, you hurt me," Kakashi clutched his heart mockingly.
Naruto rolled his eyes, waiting for Kakashi to state the reason of his visit.
"I found her," He said suddenly.
Naruto's eyes widened. "Sasuke's mother?"
Kakashi nodded and handed Naruto the case he had brought. "It took me months to track her whereabouts all alone, but no other soul learned about our research."
Naruto nodded and opened the case with shaking hands. He gasped as a photo greeted him. It was of a woman who was in her fifties. She had deep lines around her mouth and eyes. Her once black hair had grayed in various places. Her eyes... They were the same as Sasuke's. There was no doubt that she was his mother.
"Mikoto Uchiha?" Naruto murmured.
Kakashi nodded. "He also has a big brother, Itachi Uchiha. He's in jail though."
Naruto frowned. "Why?"
"He killed their father," Kakashi replied.
Naruto gasped. "Why?"
Kakashi shrugged. "Will you meet her?"
Naruto nodded as he looked through where she lived. It was in the worst part of the city. "Not yet... I'm due in a few days. I can't take care of Sasuke properly like this."
Kakashi nodded, agreeing with his pupil's spouse.
"I'll think of this and take care of everything after our baby comes and grows up a bit," Naruto decided. "Thank you so much, Kakashi-sensei. You've done so much for me."
"Of course," Kakashi smiled. "Anything for you."
Naruto smiled back happily and presented his fries to Kakashi.
The man had deserved them after all.
It had been scary. It had been hard. It had been painful. But as tears left his eyes without stopping, Naruto knew that he wouldn't change this feeling with anything in the whole universe.
He held the tiny, sleeping bundle closer to his chest.
He was alone at home when his contractions started. Sasuke was home with him actually, but he was called for an emergency. Naruto had told him to take care of his work but how could he known that the birth would start?
Fortunately, Juugo was around to keep an eye on him so he had taken him to the hospital quickly. The rest was blurry to Naruto. It didn't matter. His baby was here in his arms, nothing else mattered.
He was so tiny. He had a thin tuft of black hair on top of his head and he had pale skin just like his father. He hadn't opened his eyes yet, so Naruto had no idea of their color but he didn't mind. His baby was just so perfect. He had chubby cheeks and pouty lips. His tiny hands were resting against his chin adorably.
Sighing shakily, Naruto leaned down as gently as he could and kissed his baby's button nose.
He started crying again as he watched that small face. He had never felt like this in his whole life. He felt so warm. He had given life to this tiny creature. He was dependent on Naruto for everything. He needed Naruto to feed him. He needed Naruto to teach him. He needed Naruto to look after him. He needed Naruto to protect him.
"I swear to try and be the best mother out there," Naruto promised his baby.
He looked up as the door opened suddenly, revealing his worried looking husband.
"Sasuke," Naruto gasped.
"Angel," Sasuke gulped, walking slowly.
"Yes," Naruto smiled. "Come here, meet with our son."
Sasuke walked up to the bed his angel was resting in and sat beside him with wide eyes.
"Take him," Naruto whispered and placed their baby in his husband's arms carefully. "He looks just like you."
Sasuke watched his son in awe. His son. His and his angel's son. He couldn't believe it. He finally had his own child, his own family. He loved them both so much. He was going to make sure they were always happy, safe and cared. There was nothing or no one more important than these two people in his life.
"Thank you," Sasuke gasped. "Thank you so much, angel. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. Thank you so much for giving the world to me."
Naruto wrapped his arms around his husband's shoulders and kissed his cheek lovingly. "I love you."
"I love you more," Sasuke responded as always.
Naruto giggled. "I think this baby here proves you wrong."
Sasuke smiled. "You should rest."
Naruto nodded as he lied down on the bed. He took their baby in his arms as his husband settled the little bundle beside him.
Naruto kissed a chubby cheek as he gazed at the window. Full moon was shining beautifully.
"How we're going to name him?" Sasuke asked as he sat beside his angel on the bed.
"Tsuki," Naruto responded without lingering. "He's going to be the witness of our love and life."
"Tsuki Kyushu," Sasuke smiled. "That's perfect. Jiraiya will go crazy."
Naruto giggled.
Their father was totally one of a kind.
"No!" Sasuke shouted loudly. "I'm sick of this, Naruto! How many times have I told you I don't want to see her?!"
Naruto took a step backwards with wide eyes.
He had been trying to convince Sasuke to meet with his mother for months now and Sasuke was always reluctant. But he had never took his anger out on Naruto. He had never shouted at Naruto like this before. Never.
Naruto looked back to the couch as his six months old baby started crying loudly, probably scared with his father's loud voice. He walked to the couch and picked up his crying baby immediately, pressing him against his chest.
"I-I'm sorry," Naruto gulped as tears wetted his cheeks without realizing. "I th-thought I was d-doing the best f-for you," He wiped away his tears quickly. "F-Forgive."
With that, he left quickly, heading to the bedroom. He sat down on the bed and started trying to soothe his crying baby.
"Don't c-cry," Naruto gulped, kissing his baby's forehead. "Your daddy is not upset with you. It's not your fault… He's angry with mommy."
Naruto kissed his baby's chubby cheeks and lifted up his t-shirt. His baby latched onto a nipple and started sucking furiously, the habit he was used to calming him down immediately. Naruto caressed his baby's soft hair slowly, relaxing him further and helping him to fall asleep.
Naruto held his baby till his instinctive sucking stopped. He put him down on the bed and then switching off the lights, he entered the bed himself and wrapped his arms around his baby. He made sure that his little body was covered before kissing his cheek and closing his own eyes.
He was hoping to sleep quickly because if not, he knew that he was going to start crying once again.
He must have fallen asleep because the next he opened his eyes was to his baby's crying and squirming.
"Shh," He mumbled and picked his baby up immediately. Sasuke was sleeping beside them. "Let's not wake daddy up," He walked to the living room and sat down on the couch without switching on the lights. "Don't cry anymore, Tsu-chan," He revealed a nipple and his son started feeding immediately.
It was silent for a while. The only nose in the room was Tsuki's suckling.
"You are a bit glutton, aren't you?" Naruto smiled as his baby let his nipple go and sighed in delight. "You are so beautiful."
Tsuki's dark eyes were fixed on Naruto and a smile bloomed on his face slowly.
Naruto laughed happily. He couldn't stop himself from leaning over and showering his baby's face with kisses. Tsuki giggled as his mother played with him and then his smile replaced with a frown.
"Come here," Naruto leaned Tsuki's head against his shoulder and started spacing around as he rubbed his back.
It took a while but Naruto took a sigh of relief as he heard a long burp.
"Now back to sleep," Naruto called soothingly and placed his baby on the couch. He covered his little form with a baby blanket and sat down on the floor beside him. He started rubbing his baby's belly slowly as he hummed a soft lullaby.
Soon, Tsuki started humming with him as his eyelids dropped heavily. Naruto put the blanket tighter around him. Nuzzling his chubby cheek, he placed his head beside his baby's and closed his tired eyes. He needed some rest before Tsuki woke up again.
He was startled awake when strong arms wrapped around his body.
"Huh?" Naruto blinked.
"Come to bed," Sasuke whispered.
Naruto shrugged and then put his head on the couch again. "It's fine. We will wake up soon anyway, we shouldn't disturb your sleep."
"Please," Sasuke buried his face in his angel's neck. "Please forgive me. I'm so sorry. I was actually angry with myself. I feel so weak when the subject is her."
Naruto sighed shakily. "It's okay. I understand."
"No," Sasuke kissed his angel's neck. "I'll see her, okay? I can't take it if somebody steps between us."
Naruto sighed again and faced his husband. "It's okay, you don't have to see her if you really don't want to. I was just trying to help you to overcome her in your mind."
Sasuke nodded. "I'll see her… You'll be with me, right?"
Naruto smiled softly. "Of course."
Sasuke smiled back and kissed his angel lovingly.
"Go to bed," He took Naruto to his feet and then took their son in his arms, carrying him to the nursery beside the bedroom. He kissed his button nose and placed him in his crib. He covered his little body with his blankets and then taking the baby camera, he walked to the bedroom.
He placed the device on his nightstand and then lied down in the bed, taking his angel in his arms immediately.
Smiling, Naruto held onto his husband and fell into a much needed, deep sleep.
Sasuke's men scattered around as he left the car. He looked around with a frown. The place was overflowed with dirt. Shady looking people were at every corner and they were watching the scenery with growing interest.
Naruto left the car carefully with their son in his arms and stood beside his husband. The house they stood before looked like it was about to fall down. How could a human being live there?
"You can do it," Naruto whispered to his husband encouragingly.
Sasuke nodded and then walked to the wooden door, knocking on it without stopping.
The door was parted after a moment and a shaky voice was heard. "Y-Yes?"
"Mikoto Uchiha?" Sasuke asked with his hard voice.
"Who are you?" The voice asked.
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha Kyushu," Sasuke replied with a frown.
There was a loud gasp before the door opened completely, revealing a tired looking, old woman.
"S-Sasuke?" She gasped as she looked into his face. She moved to touch the stone faced man as she stepped out. "My son…"
"Don't touch me," Sasuke hissed and took a few steps backwards. "I'm your nothing."
She sobbed as Sasuke looked at her with a disgusted expression.
"Sasuke," Naruto called gently. He walked up to his husband. "You take our baby."
Sasuke took Tsuki from his mother and walked away. The baby giggled at his father's scoff and started hitting his cheeks with his chubby hands. Immediately, Sasuke's frown was replaced with an adorning smile. If Naruto was his angel and then his son was his heaven.
"Hello," Naruto smiled at Mikoto. "I'm Naruto Kyushu, Sasuke's spouse."
Gulping, Mikoto nodded. "Do I h-have a grandchild?"
"Yes," Naruto smiled. "His name is Tsuki. He joined us six months ago. Sasuke and I have been married for three years."
"Th-That's so nice," Mikoto smiled hesitantly. "Why your last name is different?"
"Sasuke was adopted by our father when he was six," Naruto explained. "So he took his last name naturally."
Mikoto nodded. "I-I… I didn't want to leave him, but I had no other choice, you have to believe me!"
"I believe you," Naruto sighed. "But Sasuke…"
"Naruto," Sasuke stood beside his angel. "Would you ever leave Tsuki?"
"Never," Naruto mumbled as he looked down.
"But you don't know the condition I was in!" Mikoto defended herself.
"Does it matter?" Sasuke hissed. "You didn't let go of your son, did you?"
Mikoto's eyes filled with tears. "He's your big brother."
"He's my nothing," Sasuke said, stressing each word.
Mikoto bit her lips as she looked down.
"Okay, so," Sasuke held Tsuki tighter as he brushed his hair back with a sigh. "You were too poor to look after your children so you had to leave one, is that it?"
Mikoto looked at Sasuke pleadingly.
"And your husband was an addicted bastard probably," Sasuke kept on.
"Stop it!" Mikoto cried. "Stop talking like I left you willingly! I didn't want you to suffer!"
"Suffer you say?" Sasuke hissed. "Do you have any idea what kind of a life I had till my father found me and adopted me? Do you have any idea how hard it was to grow up all alone?"
Mikoto shook her head.
"You thought I would famish with you?" Sasuke asked. "Well, I famished without you. You thought I would be cold with you? I was freezing without you. You thought I would be safe without you? No one protected me in the streets… So, don't ever act like you did the honorable thing by leaving me, it won't work."
"H-How can I g-get you back?" Mikoto asked as she wiped her tears.
"Get me back?" Sasuke chuckled coldly. "I'm not a kid anymore. I'm thirty-two years old. I don't need you in my life."
"Sasuke," Naruto whispered as he held his husband's free hand. "Please."
Taking a deep breath, Sasuke gave a nod to his angel. "Why your son killed his father?"
"B-But," Mikoto gulped. "He's your father too. Aren't y-you a bit sad?"
Sasuke frowned deeply. "My father is Jiraiya Kyushu. Your husband is no one for all I care."
Mikoto nodded slowly. She had given birth to him but he was a complete stranger. Mikoto didn't know what he liked. Mikoto didn't know his favorite color or food. Mikoto didn't know what made him happy. Mikoto didn't know what feared him the most. Like Sasuke had said, there was only nothingness between them.
"H-He was abusing me constantly," Mikoto explained. "S-So, Itachi couldn't take i-it one day and killed him with a k-knife."
"Well, your son at least looks like he's someone brave," Sasuke remarked.
Mikoto nodded.
"So, I've seen you, I've listened to you, there is nothing more for us here," Sasuke commented. "But, I'm not like you. You'll be taken care of for the rest of your life. Think of it as your reward for abandoning me."
With that, Sasuke left quickly with his son.
Naruto sighed and looked at Mikoto who had started crying once again.
"I'm so sorry," He said sincerely. "Sasuke has been keeping all of this inside of him for so long. He just needs to get used to you."
Mikoto nodded.
Naruto touched his pockets and found a card. "Please take this. There is my number here, you can call me for anything."
"Th-Thank you," Mikoto smiled.
Naruto smiled back. "I'll see you later then."
Mikoto nodded as Naruto left.
The Kyushu bride settled in the car and gazed at his husband. With a smile, he kissed his cheek lovingly.
"Thank you so much," Naruto smiled.
Sasuke shrugged. "I do anything for you. You do know that."
"Yes," Naruto kissed his husband's flawless cheek once again and then wrapping his arms around his arm, he placed his head over his shoulder. Their baby was slumbering against Sasuke's other shoulder pleasantly.
Sasuke held the two loves of his life closer.
There was one more place to visit.
Sasuke stood before a glass window, staring ahead intently. A man who was in his late thirties stood behind the glass, watching him with the same, dark eyes.
"Itachi Uchiha," Sasuke addressed the man before him.
The long haired man gave a nod.
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha Kyushu," Sasuke said.
Itachi's eyes widened. "My brother?"
Sasuke shrugged. "You were charged for life."
Itachi nodded silently as he eyed Sasuke's expensive looking suit. "It looks like you've been good."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "My father raised me generously. My spouse looks after me carefully."
"You are married?" Itachi questioned.
"I have a son," Sasuke responded. "We are hoping he will be a big brother in the near future."
Itachi nodded slowly. "That's nice."
"Tomorrow a lawyer will come to see you," Sasuke said. "He's one of the best. I'm sure he'll shorten your sentence."
"Why you're helping me?" Itachi asked as he blinked.
"As I've said to your mother, I'm rewarding her for abandoning me," Sasuke said and turned around. "Take care."
Itachi sighed. "You too."
Sasuke walked out of the prison complex with fast steps. He took a deep breath once outside. This was it. These people were whom he had left behind. He didn't feel sad or anything. A single thought never left his mind, though. If Mikoto hadn't left him, if Jiraiya hadn't found him, if Hiashi hadn't shot him, he would have never met his angel. His life would be meaningless.
"How did it go?" Naruto asked after his husband left the prison. Sasuke hadn't wanted Naruto inside with their son.
Without responding, Sasuke leaned over and kissed his angel fully on the lips.
"Wh-hic-at?" Naruto blushed breathlessly.
Sasuke chuckled as he took the love of his life in his arms.
This was his life. No other route could ever make him happy.
"He's getting fattier each day," Naruto said with an adorning smile as he changed his eight month old baby's diaper.
"Don't call my son fat," Sasuke said as he kissed his son's exposed, chubby belly, causing him to giggle madly. "He's deliciously meaty. That's what he is."
Naruto laughed at his husband's logic as he closed his baby's onesie. "Now it's sleep time!"
"I'll put him to sleep," Sasuke picked up their son and walked to the nursery.
Naruto changed Kyuubi's food and water and walked to their bedroom. He didn't bother to switch on the lights, the moon was lighting inside well enough. He took his black book from the nightstand and stood before enormous windows, reading through his favorites parts quickly.
Things had been going fine for a while. Sasuke had placed Mikoto in a nice apartment and he was taking care of her expenses monthly. His lawyer was working on Itachi's case and it looked like they could shorten his charge. Sasuke still refused to see his mother but Naruto was in touch with her constantly. She loved Tsuki and wanted to see him. So, Naruto took his son to her apartment a lot. He was hoping that the ices between the mother and son would melt soon.
He closed the book as strong arms wrapped around him from behind and held him tightly against a hard chest.
"You've become the corner of my soul's thoughts," Sasuke whispered into his angel's ear. "With having seen your beauties, love has entered my heart directly. And you've painted it with the never fading shade of the darkest red. And its flames has burnt, consumed my lungs… I wish I could give you my whole being and soul. And if you asked me-"
"Would you sacrifice your sleeps for me?" Naruto asked with his soft voice.
"Yes, without a doubt," Sasuke whispered as he held his lover tighter. "I would even sacrifice my eyes for you."
Naruto had no doubt.
The moon was his witness.
END.
Oh my, it ends here! One Thousand and One Nights becomes my fifteenth finished story. Congrats to all of us!
So, here goes my rants for this story:
I've been meaning to write another yakuza themed story but I've wanted a bit of different Sasuke. I wanted him to be somehow manipulative. I wanted him to want Naruto and do everything to get him. But at the same time, I wanted him to be vulnerable. I wanted him to depend on Naruto and change with him. I hope I was succesful.
Aww, Naruto in this story was too cute for me to handle! But even when sometimes his mind couldn't grasp what was happening, his heart was always there for him. He also learned the life in the painful way slowly. Sasuke was the one who destroyed him and then picked up the pieces. I think he grew up nicely along with Sasuke.
As in my every story, I wanted them to effect each other in a way others couldn't, I hope I managed that.
Hinata! Many people were surpised by her in this story. But why? Why she always has to be the sweet, well mannered girl? Why she can't be someone different? Why she can't be someone bad? Why she can't have strong beliefs -even if they may be wrong- and fight for them? I wanted to give her this chance in this particular fic. I hope people see a different potential in her!
The thing that gave everything away about Sasuke and Naruto's relationship in this fic was I think when Naruto went to Sasuke in the seventh chapter. It was always Sasuke chasing after Naruto but at that point the decision was Naruto's to make. And he chose Sasuke.
One Thousand and One Night stories were everywhere in this story. I've used a lot of quotes and I hope they were nice to read. I myself haven't finished reading 1001 nights. It's said that nobody has ever finished reading them and whoever finishes it, dies shortly after. It's best to be cautius! :)
We'll have five more chapters to Our Stories next! And then I have other multichap story ideas, please look forward to them!
So, for the last time, thank you so so much for reading, faving and taking your time to comment. Your support has been what made this short journey so enjoyable. Thank you again and I hope to see you again soon with new stories!
