Chapter 9: "Are You Ok?"

Song to Thank for this chapter (tell me how you like it) : Yuna-Lullabies (Adventure Club Remix)

Disclaimer- This Story is Mine but Naruto is Not.

"Hi Sasuke." Naruto said smiling sleepily as he woke up.

"Hello." Sasuke said gently, love clear in his voice.

Naruto quickly stood up before picking Sasuke up carefully and placing him on a chair so that he could make the bed. "Sasuke do you want to have a bath or a shower?" he asked.

"It's not safe for me to do either of them alone." Sasuke said a blush coloring his face.

Naruto smiled at Sasuke's embarrassment and quickly moved to the bathroom to set everything up for their shower, since it would be easier to clean both of them while standing up. He yet again carefully lifted up Sasuke before placing him in the bathroom "Go ahead and take off your clothes." he murmured turning away from Sasuke to take off his own clothes.

Sasuke carefully moved into the shower by himself, his face getting redder by the second when he heard Naruto enter the shower. He flinched when the water hit his skin.

"Sorry, I should have warned you." Naruto said before he started soaping Sasuke's body taking his time so he could continue to stare at his lover.

"Stop staring at me." Sasuke said quietly, feeling Naruto's eyes roaming his body. He gasped when Naruto started cleaning his thighs, biting down on his bottom lip to stop any unwanted moans from leaving his mouth. He had forgotten how sensitive his thighs were, he breathed a sigh of relief when Naruto moved to clean his legs.

"Sasuke I finished with you. Do you think you can get to your bed safely and wait for me there? I'll only take five minutes." he said when Sasuke nodded his head yes. He helped Sasuke get out of the shower and he wrapped him up in his towel, before watching him walk out of the bathroom. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Sasuke sit on the bed. He quickly started cleaning himself, slowing down a bit when he reached his back. Stepping out of the bathroom with a towel secured on his hips, he moved to Sasuke making sure he was fully dried and properly lotioned. "I'm going to look for your clothes Sasuke, just give me a few minutes." he said before walking into Sasuke's large closet.

'Everything seems to be fine.' Sasuke thought 'But what if I mess things up? What if he leaves? What if this whole time I've had a gigantic booger hanging off my nose?' He quickly raised his hands to check his nose and found that he was booger free. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Naruto's voice. "What did you say?" he asked Naruto while chastising himself for not paying attention.

Naruto stepped out of Sasuke's closet carrying a baggy shirt, baggy shorts that Sasuke liked wearing since they helped hide his three month pregnant stomach and underwear for Sasuke to wear. "I said that I didn't know that you had a kimono." he said referring to the beautiful red, black, and white, silk garment he found in the back of Sasuke's closet.

"It's used for special occasions like weddings." Sasuke said standing up so that Naruto could easily put on his clothes. "How are you going to change? I gave all your clothes back to Kushina when we were..."

"Fighting." Naruto said finishing Sasuke's sentence. "Don't worry Sasuke, my mom brought me a change of clothes that I'm already wearing." he said placing a kiss on Sasuke's head.

Sasuke blushed at how much Naruto touched him, a gentle kiss here, light brushes and strong hugs it didn't matter as long as it was Naruto he was fine. He spent a lot of time yesterday on Naruto's lap, enough time to realize that he had missed Naruto's strong and familiar presence. He heard Naruto open his bedroom and wasn't surprised when Naruto lifted him up so that they could go downstairs to eat.

Naruto placed Sasuke down and sat close to him so that he could focus on helping him, instead of the heated glares that were coming from everyone else at the table. Their glares faded away when they saw how gentle Naruto was treating Sasuke, he didn't even touch his food in favor for making sure that Sasuke was as comfortable as possible. Every Uchiha, except for Sasuke who had not realized that they were glaring at Naruto, decided that they would eat peacefully instead of questioning Naruto on his method of taking care of Sasuke.

Naruto brought Sasuke back upstairs to his room, so that he could help Sasuke brush his teeth. When they had finally settled on his bed together, Sasuke's hand accidentally brushed Naruto's thigh. Naruto tensed under his touch.

"I'm s-sorry! I didn't mean to!" Sasuke said quickly moving away from Naruto.

"Sasuke stop!" Naruto shouted watching in amazement as Sasuke froze immediately.

"Sasuke," Naruto said pulling the frozen boy into his arms "What's wrong? Why aren't you moving?" he said giving Sasuke a gentle kiss to get him to relax.

"You told me to stop." Sasuke said about to cry when he thought that he had failed Naruto as a submissive.

"Because you were about to fall of the bed." Naruto said calmly.

"But I touched you!"

"It's okay! I like you touching me." Naruto said with a smirk when Sasuke blushed. He leaned in to give Sasuke a kiss on his lips, deepening it when he felt Sasuke relax greatly in his arms. He pulled back to breathe, his smirk growing when he saw how affected Sasuke was. He had missed the flushed cheeks, glazed eyes and red lips that only he could cause. "Do you want more?" he said teasing Sasuke.

'Does he honestly think that I'm going to answer that? The dobe... But what if he leaves because I didn't answer?'

"Yes." Sasuke said in reply to Naruto's question.

'Did he honestly just answer that! Somethings not right here.'

"Are you ok Sasuke?" Naruto asked worry clear in his voice.

'Why is he worried, can't he see that I'm fine? Don't think like that Sasuke you need to be kind, positive and helpful.'

"I'm fine. I just want a kiss, please."

"I'd be happy to." Naruto said before capturing Sasuke's lips with his. He quickly slipped his tongue inside, fisting silky black hair in his hand so he could tilt Sasuke's head back as he deepened the kiss. They lost themselves while re-exploring and re-capturing each other's mouths, tongues fighting, moans slipping(most from Sasuke) until they heard a knock on the door and Naruto pulled away.

"Don't stop!" Sasuke moaned out before he pressed his lips on Naruto's mouth, moaning as he was pushed onto the bed feeling Naruto press his body on his. He whined when Naruto yet again pulled away from Sasuke when they heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Naruto shouted before Sasuke pulled him back down, groaning as their tongues wrapped around each other.

"Its Tsunade, and I'm here to check on Sasuke and the baby." she said impatiently.

As the words registered in Naruto's brain he pulled away quickly "We have to stop Sasuke, Tsunade hasn't said it's okay for us to have sex yet and if we go any further I won't stop." Looking at his lover's frustrated face, he gave him a short apology kiss and fixed their clothes before he moved away to open the door.

"I don't even want to know what you two were doing." she said as she walked inside. She quickly set up her equipment and did the basic checkup that every doctor had to do for their patients.

"I already showered with him." Naruto said when he saw Tsunade removing bath soap and towels from her medical bag.

"That's great but I still need to bathe him. The way I do things help to calm his body and stabilize him. And you said you showered with him?"

"We didn't do anything." Sasuke said quickly so that Naruto would not get into any trouble with Tsunade. "Even now, we weren't doing anything, we were just kissing."

Tsunade noticed immediately how Sasuke was acting towards Naruto and decided that it would be best if Naruto were to leave. "Sorry Naruto but you have to leave for this next part." her voice leaving no room for discussion. She carefully helped Sasuke to stand up and guided him inside the bathroom. She quickly filled up the tub with hot water, not too hot, and her special scents. "How's he treating you?" she asked "And don't give me any bullshit either."

"He's very gentle" Sasuke said as he felt Tsunade's strong grip guide him to the bathtub "And caring... I don't deserve him." he said while fully seated in the tub.

"Don't be stupid Sasuke, you're more than Naruto deserves." she said picking up Sasuke's favorite lavender soap.

"But he's so perfect, and I'm not."

"Are you even listening to yourself? You two are equals at the very least. In Naruto's mind he's forgiven you and you've forgiven him, but in your mind you've forgiven him but he hasn't forgiven you."

"I don't understand why I feel like this then? I've never been this insecure before."

"Submissive's naturally feel insecure and with the fight that you guys are still trying to fix your especially sensitive. You will constantly feel like you have to prove to him that you're worth forgiving."

"And when will that be?"

"I'm not sure, you two just need to spend enough time with each other to build up trust and restore your love. Of course sexual contact will speed things up."

"Tsunade! What about the baby?"

"I've talked with Gaara and we both agree that at this point, having sex will help the baby instead of hurting it. The babies nutrients have decreased, and its size is a bit too small. That doesn't mean that he or she won't survive it just means that having your relationship fixed soon can help heal and protect the child."

"Are you going to tell Naruto this?"

"Yes. Unless you want to?"

"No! It's fine you can do it."

"Sasuke, trust me the baby is getting better each and every day, just like you are. Please don't over worry because of what I said."

"I believe you Tsunade."

"I just wanted to tell you that's all."

"Tsunade."

"Yes?"

"The water's cold."


Tsunade had changed Sasuke and helped him downstairs so that they could both eat lunch. "Where's Naruto?" she asked when she noticed that none of the Uzumaki's were there.

"Naruto left to change, and he's coming back with his parents. He said that he'll be back as soon as he can." Mikoto said placing a bowl of rice porridge in front of Sasuke to eat. She helped him find his spoon before going back to the kitchen to get Tsunade some food.

"You look better, Sasuke." Kisame said complementing Sasuke's much improved appearance.

"Thank you, Naruto took away all the pain, and Tsunade says that everyday I'm going to get stronger and stronger."

"I still don't like how much he hurt you." Fugaku said.

"I know it looks like Sasuke's the only one who suffered and he did suffer physically. But you have no idea how much Naruto suffered."

"Then why isn't he blind?" Fugaku asked angrily.

"The boy that you see walking around with a smile on his face, has come to my office so I could restrain him before he hurt himself. Every single night that they were fighting his inner dominate spirit led him to believe that the fight was all his fault. Every night his body tried to kill himself he fought to save his life, while most of his being told him that he deserved to die. One night I woke up to find him lying in a pool of his own blood, he had lost control of his body and he had clawed out most of his own back. Not even Kyuubi could heal all those scars, he still has them on his back. Please don't say the he never suffered, he has endured more pain than most will in their life."

Before Fugaku could answer, the doorbell rang. Mikoto stood up to open the door but Itachi was already there, his opinion on Naruto had changed because of Tsunade's story. Even now he noticed lines of age that had never been on Naruto's face before.

"Sasuke are you ok?" Naruto said noticing just how pale his lover was immediately.

Sasuke stood up not caring that he most likely spilled his food on the floor and desperately tried to reach Naruto. He felt familiar arms wrap around him and he quickly used his hands to sneak under Naruto's shirt to feel his back. "Oh Kami!" Sasuke said as he felt scars that decorated his lover's back, "This is all my fault!" he said tears streaming down his face.

Naruto sent Tsunade a glare before he turned to calm Sasuke "Relax Sasuke," he said trying to brush off his injuries as nothing. "They don't hurt anymore and they never will, now that I'm here with you."

"They won't?" Sasuke said unable to keep his hands away from Naruto's back.

"No, as long as you're here I won't try to hurt myself. We help each other." Naruto said giving Sasuke a kiss helping him calm down. "Tsunade, when should Sasuke be able to see?" Naruto said trying to keep Sasuke's mind off his back.

"It depends on how much time you spend with each other and how you choose to spend your time." She moved close enough so that only they could here the next few things she had to say. "You can and I do recommend that you do have sexual intercourse. I know I said before that it would hurt the baby but you two need more physical contact, I explained it to Sasuke a bit more so just ask him if you have any questions Naruto." She stepped towards the door but stopped so that she could talk to Naruto without Sasuke overhearing. "Sasuke may act weird these next couple of days, his body and mind are telling him that he needs to prove that he's the perfect submissive so you'll stay with him. Anything that you'll tell him to do is the law for him, he will follow your every order and any harsh words now will destroy him. So don't fuck things up." Raising her voice loud enough for everyone to hear she said good bye to everyone.

"What did she tell you?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"She just told me that I have to be careful with you when we have sex." Naruto whispered in Sasuke's ear smiling as he blushed.

"Wait..." Sasuke said "Are you sure your backs ok?" he said quietly.

"I'm fine, I promise." Naruto said pulling Sasuke towards one of the many couches in the Uchiha living room. "Let me help your mom clean up, then I'll stay with you the rest of the day." Before he could take a step towards Mikoto the doorbell rang.

"Did Tsunade leave anything behind?" Minato said standing to look for anything that Tsunade could have dropped on her way out. "There's nothing here though..." he said not finding anything.

"And we didn't invite anyone to the house." Itachi added.

Their conversation stopped when the doorbell rang again.

"I'm coming!" Naruto shouted so that the person at the door would stop ringing the bell. He moved towards the door and opened it, his body tensing as he gazed into the person's eyes.

"Who is it?" Fugaku asked, when Naruto stayed quiet at the door.

"It's... Kiba."
