The next morning was... well. As to be expected. Naruto, when he had woken up, had been disappointed to see that Sasuke had left him at some point earlier in the morning. He'd hoped to wake up with those arms still cradling him and Squirt at the same time, but clearly that was not meant to be.

And whose fault was that? Definitely his own. He was the one who had told Sasuke to back off. IAs friends/i, he had said, and that was what he was getting. As friends. Ugh, it was so frustrating. Naruto wanted to be more than friends for sure, and had wanted that for quite some time, but he was worried. Sasuke often moved at a fleeting place. He left at his own whims, he left when things got hard or too real. So who was to say that he'd stay for only Naruto's sake?

Only- well, to be fair, it wasn't only Naruto's sake anymore. Now it was Sasuke's son's sake too. And Sasuke really was going to be a good father. That's what Naruto rather thought, anyways. The chance to rebuild his clan, something he'd long thought about. And Naruto was a part of it. He was the reason that Sasuke had claim to the Uchiha compound again. Kakashi had realized that with a new Uchiha on the way, it was time to devote a little more of the village's resources to cleaning up the carnage that was once a prosperous little portion of the village. And to be honest, the only reason it had even survived Pain's destructive powers was because it was so very far away from the centre of the village. One of the original reasons the clan had thought to protest.

But that didn't matter anymore. Naruto was pretty- okay, not all the way, but almost there- sure that Sasuke wasn't going anywhere. If he had run when Naruto had told him the truth about the pregnancy, why would he run now?

Except for that little nagging thought in the back of Naruto's mind that they were still so, so young. Not ready to be very good parents, maybe. And to top that off, Naruto had only ever had brief glimpses of ghosts of his parents to show him what it should be like to be a good parent. And Sasuke's parents hadn't really been all that great, if Itachi's betrayal of his family was anything to go by.

The only thing they had going for them, and Naruto hoped it was enough, was that they both knew what it meant to be loved unconditionally. Even if the people that loved them were gone now. Why wouldn't that be enough? Even if... well, okay, so neither of them could cook anything other than instant food. And neither of them knew how to keep an entire house clean (only this one room in Sasuke's house was clean) and neither of them knew how to change a diaper, or burp a baby, or feed one. Oh god.

Naruto was nearly hyperventilating when Sasuke came walking back into the room wearing nothing but his boxer shorts and carrying a tray with what looked like oatmeal and tea on it. Gross.

"Naruto?" He asked slowly, eyeing him with uncertainty. "Are you okay? Is- is the baby okay?"

Naruto shook his head and rested a hand on his bump. "Oh my god, we're going to kill him, aren't we? We're going to put diapers on his head, and feed him super spicy ramen by accident, or or mud or something, and you'll probably think that burping him with chidori is a good idea, and Sasuke! He doesn't have a bijuu in him, so if you use chidori, he will die! Don't do that!"

The uncertain look on Sasuke's face morphed into one of disbelief and he just kind of... stared at Naruto. "Are you done?" he asked, a little bit of annoyance in his voice.

Naruto nodded, and as though he agreed with his Papa, Squirt gave a firm kick right in his ribs. "Yea- ow! Cut it out, Squirt!"

"Listen to me, you unbelievable idiot. We're young. But we're not- well, I can't speak for you after what you just finished saying, but I'm not an idiot. I may not know a lot about taking care of a baby, but I can assure you: I sure as hell will not be using chidori to burp the baby. And we both know where the diaper goes. I'm not entirely sure, at this exact moment, that you're not still wearing one."

Naruto flushed and flinched a little when Squirt gave an agreeable kick towards his bladder. "I get it, it's just... neither of us had younger siblings. I don't know about you, but I was out of diapers at very young age. About the same time they let me move into my own apartment, out of the orphanage. I was four. I don't remember being a baby. Maybe we should..."

Sasuke's shoulder slumped at the fact that Naruto was at least a little right. Definitely hysterical, but his opening hypothesis left Sasuke to believe that they might be in a little bit of trouble.

"All right. We'll take a parenting class. A iprivate/i one, though. I don't need weirdos signing up for the class just to see the '~hero's of the shinobi world' preparing for their son. Will that make you calm down?"

Feeling suddenly overwhelmed, Naruto slid out of the bed and stepped towards Sasuke. He ignored the fact that he was only wearing his boxers, and the fact that his morning erection was still iquite/i evident. He was just too grateful that his child was Sasuke's child too.

Damn hormones.

As he stepped closer, his vision was a little bleary, and he was worried for a second, before he realized it was just tears. Grateful tears. Damn. Was he turning into a woman? How annoying. He lifted one tanned hand up and wiped at them annoyed.

When he blinked clearly again, he saw Sasuke staring at him apprehensively. "You've lost your fucking mind, haven't you, dead last?"

Naruto took the platter from Sasuke and placed it carefully (although a little precariously) on the bedside table beside the clock. "I might've," he agreed as he stepped into Sasuke's personal space.

Sasuke tensed a little, but relaxed incrementally when Naruto lifted a hand to tilt Sasuke's head a little upwards so that he could slant his lips against his friend's in a slow, but not lacking heat, leisurely kiss.

Sasuke hummed, leaning into it for a second before pulling back. "You are so confusing," he said slowly, blinking dark eyes. And he did look a little confused.

Naruto was confused, too. The more they were together outside of the battlefield, the more it felt like they were close the way they'd been when they'd been kids. And it didn't feel like they could make a single mistake.

It just felt... perfectly safe. Perfectly hot. Very hot. Yeah, Naruto was hot now. Hot and... well. Desperate.

Naruto closed his legs and rubbed them together, looking for a little friction for his fully hard cock. It was bad enough that it was the morning (and he was always horny in the morning), but the pregnancy hormones had his libido out of control.

"I should... take a shower," Naruto said slowly, his cheeks flushed a deep red. "Hormones, and all. I'm surprised I haven't started chafing."

Sasuke raised a brow, but glanced down quickly. When he looked back up, his pupils were a little dilated, and his cheeks were a little pink, his breath coming a little quicker, and he licked his lips. That definitely caught Naruto's attention.

"Unless..." Naruto began, taking a step towards the beds. "We're still friends, after all. Friends can help each other out right? Especially when one is pregnant with the other's baby. And horny as fuck."

Sasuke swallowed hard. Naruto could see the way his adam's apple bobbed nervously. "As friends?" He asked.

Was it just Naruto or did those words hold a lot of weight? "As friends," he agreed, sitting down with his legs falling open a little.

Sasuke wasted no time closing the distance between them, and moving in to stand between Naruto's parted legs. "What do you want to do?"

Naruto licked his own lips. He was nearly face-to-face with Sasuke's dick, and he could see the way it tented out the fabric of his shorts. So he was still affected by Naruto. That just drove Naruto a little more wild. To know that this ordinarily stoic boy was taken off guard by something as simple as Naruto aroused.

Which would've been funny, because Naruto was almost always turned on when he was around Sasuke, but instead of being funny, it nagged something in the back of his mind that Naruto vowed to think about when there wasn't a dick so close to his face, needing his attention.

"Right now? I really fucking want to see your dick up close."

Sasuke made a garbled and unintelligible sound unlike anything Naruto had ever heard from him, and he found that the sound went right to his cock. He wanted Sasuke. More now than ever.

Thankfully, and really, really thankfully it was, Squirt seemed to have quietened down temporarily. Maybe he knew his dad was finally getting some.

"You have a filthy mouth, last place," Came Sasuke trembling voice as Naruto reached up and yanked the boxers down, leaving Sasuke standing there completely nude, his cock bobbing up and curved towards his belly. It was a deep red and it was swollen hard and thick. Just like Naruto remembered. Perfect. It was perfect. Unsurprisingly, though. Since Naruto was sure that it was impossible for Sasuke to be anything but perfect, even in such a vulnerable state.

This was the first time he'd found himself so intimately close to a dick. Sure, he'd touched Sasuke's before. Once during the conception of their son, and then again the first time they'd honestly and truly had given into something that had been years in the making.

But now... now it was at eye-level, and it was intense. When he glanced up, he saw Sasuke staring down at him, dark eyes blown wide open and full lips parted a little as his chest rose and fell quickly with each shallow breath.

"I'm just gonna try something, okay?" Naruto said slowly as he took in the appearance of the cock again. Once he'd gathered up his will, and it was hard, he'd dreamed of this at least once since he'd been pregnant (and that was not to mention the unmentionable times he'd thought about this when he'd been on the chase for Sasuke.) and he knew exactly what he wanted to do. He leaned in and pressed his cheek against the hard angle of Sasuke's hipbone, and tilted his head closer so that he could inhale the strong pheromonal scent of Sasuke. It was heady. It was all trees and fresh rain and... power. And not to mention the scent of arousal, the musk. It all mixed together to send shivers through Naruto, sparks that settled deep in his belly. He was so hard now that the head of his cock was peeking through the slit in his boxers. He had no choice but to ignore it, though, because he wanted to worship Sasuke. Wanted to let him know just how much of the right decision it was to stay in the village with Naruto to raise their child.

"Stay still, okay?" he murmured, and it was the only warning Sasuke got before Naruto was brushing full lips against the slit at the tip of his hard, leaking dick.

A loud, obscene gasp escaped Sasuke and it was clear that he was fighting all of his instincts. His legs were shaking with the effort of holding himself upwards, and Naruto felt more powerful than he had ever before. And that was saying something, seeing as he was currently touted the most powerful ninja in the world. But right then, with his lips pressed together, pursed as a kiss at the leaking tip of Sasuke's cock... it was more than anything he'd ever experienced. He had the ability to take completely control of the most wound up person he'd ever met. The person that had the most control over himself out of anyone Naruto had met in his entire life.

Right then, Sasuke was completely his. And it made him shiver with arousal that he had such power. The only kind of power he ever wanted to have again.

"S'suke..." he murmured, his lips teasing the slit at the tip of Sasuke's cock. He could taste him, and he'd expected it to be gross what with the way Sakura had spoken about giving a blow job the first time she'd done it, but it wasn't gross at all. It wasn't delicious or anything, but it was... heady.

The taste was a little salty, but not as bitter as he was expecting. It didn't really taste like much of anything. The texture was kind of gross, slippery and slimy, but it didn't bother him. Not even when he pulled back just a little, and a string of precome was lingering between the tip and his lips. He looked up at Sasuke, and the sight that greeted him left him feeling even more destroyed than he was.

Sasuke looked wrecked. His face, throat, chest, all of it. Was a deep flushed pink and his nipples were hard, and protruding just a little. There was a slight sheen of sweat covering his chest, and his hands were shaking where they hovered just above Naruto's shoulders. His eyes were half-lidded, but focused entirely on what Naruto was doing. They were so dark that they were basically black. Darker than even the moment before they spun to Sharingan during battle. He had his bottom lip pinched between his teeth so hard that Naruto could see how it was outlined with white from blood loss.

He was the most beautiful thing Naruto had ever seen.

Naruto licked his lips clean a moment and cleared his throat with some difficulty. "Is this- is this okay?" He asked, though he figured he knew the answer. Sasuke didn't look like a guy that was about to ask him to stop. Still, though, Naruto knew it was important not to go too far. Not when there was a child (that he was insistently not thinking about in the heat of the moment) at risk if he pushed Sasuke the wrong way.

"A-as friends," Sasuke stuttered slightly, nodding. "Yeah, friends sometimes do this, right?"

And Naruto raised a brow at the way Sasuke sounded. His voice deeper, breathier, harder to understand. He sounded mildly delirious, and Naruto couldn't help but wonder if this was the first time someone had given him a blowjob. He knew that when he'd first- when they'd first- that day in his bedroom when they'd first... had sex (and it was still so hard to wrap his head around) that that had been Sasuke's first time doing that. But he hadn't known if Sasuke had ever experimented with anything else... y'know. Sexually. Naruto had once had a clone give him a blow job, so he knew the basic happenings around it (not that he bragged about going around giving himself blowjobs). He'd enjoyed the feel of receiving it, but afterwards, when the clone had disappeared and relayed its knowledge to Naruto, he'd wondered if he'd ever be able to appreciate the giving portion. Now that he was in the middle of actually doing it? Yeah, he was appreciative of his experience. He knew what to do.

"Yeah. Some kinds of friends do this," he replied quietly. He hated himself just a little for implicating the 'as friends' status of their relationship, because just then he wanted to be doing things like this with Sasuke all the time, and not just when he was hormonal and pregnant with his child. Although, realistically, that was probably the only reason that Sasuke was putting up with it. Aside from the obvious other reason- what sane guy would refuse a blowjob? Especially mid-blowjob?

Sasuke was reasonable- maybe not Inow/i, but usually.

He didn't want to think about things that made his stomach do somersaults, though, not when he was so close to having exactly what he wanted. Which was Sasuke falling to pieces.

He took the words of approval and tilted his head closer, taking the tip of Sasuke's cock into his mouth and sucking softly. The response was instantaneous. Sasuke's hands came to rest on his shoulders, holding him tightly. The long, pale fingers were digging into his shoulders almost painfully, but it just spurred Naruto on.

"Mm," he hummed against the small amount of cock in his mouth, and Sasuke shuddered slightly. Naruto lifted his hands, and rested one on Sasuke's pale thigh, and the other around, holding tight to one firm, round globe of his ass cheek. he had never taken enough time to appreciate just how well toned Sasuke's body was, but he certainly was taking note now. Holy shit was his body ever tight and oozing a refined sexuality where Naruto was curved muscles and tanned skin, Sasuke was edges and sleek muscles. They were always opposites in every way, and Naruto wouldn't take Sasuke any other way.

This was much, much better than it had been with his clone. Hell, this was almost better than even being on the receiving end of what his clone had done for him.

"Na-N'ruto...a-ah...!" Sasuke gasped, the most unlikely source of the spoken word. Except during intimacy. Then he was chatty. Naruto wanted to see how chatty he could get.

Naruto tilted his head a little and relaxed as much as he could to take a couple of more centimetres of that cock into his mouth. Thankfully Sasuke wasn't huge so it wasn't a big deal, but man. He was thick. The further down Naruto sank, the more his lips stretched around the width of Sasuke's dick.

He hollowed his lips and began to apply a little suction, the hand on Sasuke's thigh coming up to cover the little bit of cock that wouldn't fit in his mouth, and Naruto opened his mouth as much as he could to allow his drool to slide down the length of the cock. He knew how good it felt when it was wet.

"Y-yeah, just like that," Sasuke murmured and Naruto's gaze, as best he could, darted up to see him watching intently. "So hot, you look so hot down there."

At the praise, Naruto felt his cheeks warm, and he began bobbing his head a little, his hand following the motion, even though it occasionally bumped him in the chin. His own cock sat untouched bobbing up against his pregnant belly as he moved to get into a better position to take more of Sasuke into his mouth.

Sasuke was shaking where he was holding onto Naruto and it was intoxicating to know that he was already so close, even though Naruto had barely begun touching him. Well, that wasn't entirely true, Naruto had been sucking on his dick for a little while now, but to Naruto it felt like he'd just started.

Carefully, and almost reluctantly, he pulled off of Sasuke's cock, and lifted the hand that had been holding Sasuke by the ass, and slipped his index finger into his mouth. Sasuke continued to stare down at him in that drunken way, and Naruto grinned wolfishly up at him before lowering his head to drag his tongue against that slit, tasting up all the fluid there.

"Don't stop," Sasuke panted. And it was clear that it was taking everything he had not to move his hips, or to close his eyes.

Naruto knew already that this wasn't something he'd ever do for anyone else for the rest of his life. There was no one who could match Sasuke. Who could make him feel so... so... perfect.

"Definitely not stopping," Naruto murmured and he closed his lips over the head of Sasuke's cock and just sucked on the head for a second before spreading his lips and taking Sasuke back in as deep as he could.

At the same time, he carefully worked that now-wet finger between Sasuke's ass cheeks to pressed just at the tip of his rim, the smallest part of his finger sinking into the hole.

Sasuke gasped and lost the fight to keep his eyes open a single breath of a second before also losing the fight to not move his hips, because as soon as his eyes slid closed, his hips rocked back, forcing Naruto's finger inside to the first knuckle. "A-are you going to fuck me again?" Sasuke asked raspily, not sure if he should be rocking back onto the finger breaching him, or the mouth sucking him in. He was so close.

"Because I'm about to- a-ahh! Nar'to-! I'm about to, to, to... if you don't stop, you won't be able to fuck me."

Naruto shook his head humming softly as he continued to suck, the hand stroking the base of Sasuke's cock, sliding down to cup his testicles, gently massaging them as he angled his finger in the way he remembered from the last time they'd been intimate, and pushing against that spot that felt just a tiny bit different.

Sasuke gasped loudly, and arched his back into the touch as he came apart, spilling hot and messy in Naruto's mouth. Naruto gagged slightly at how sudden it was, and pulled back as Sasuke's come burst from him in strings, coating Naruto's lips and even a little on his nose.

He pulled his finger out of Sasuke as his friend slowly collapsed onto the bed beside him, shaking hands coming up to rub at his face.

Naruto licked his lips clean, and wiped the tip of his nose with Sasuke's pillowcase. He was grinning wildly, and when Sasuke looked at him, eyes still a deep red of Sharingan, he realized that he'd completely broken his friend. Good. He needed it. Maybe he would be... easier going.

Sasuke lowered a hand to where Naruto's cock tented out his boxers, leaking profusely, and desperately aching for attention. He closed his fingers around the length of it without looking at it, and stroked him quickly in tight, unpredictable jerks.

It dind't take more than three thrusts downward of his hand before Naruto's eyes were squeezed shut and he was spilling his own come into his boxers with a gasp.

Sasuke wiped his hand on the outside of Naruto's boxers and lay back, resting his head on the foot of the bed. His eyes, now their usual dark selves, focusing on Naruto as they both fought to catch their breaths.

"I think we need some ground rules," Sasuke said breathlessly.

The breathlessness of it made Naruto's grin widen, and even though his cheeks were still flushed with his own orgasm, he nodded. "Yeah, maybe. If we're going to live together. As friends."

Every time he said 'as friends' he wanted to punch himself in the face. He didn't want to be just friends. He wanted to be so much more. The feelings for Sasuke had been there for a long time, although they hadn't been decipherable until the first time they'd been intimate, and now they were morphing into something that was so much more than physical. He didn't want to lose it.

Of course the physical? Very much still important to Naruto, but it was so much more than that now. Now he thought he might be sick if Sasuke ever- no, Sasuke wouldn't go and hook up with someone else now that his ass cherry had been popped, would he? Not when he could just ask Naruto to do it again, and he would.

"Okay. So we'll work to clean a room for you so that you don't have to share a bed with me." Sasuke began matter of factly, and Naruto realized that he liked him so much better when he was sexed out.

"I don't mind," Naruto grumbled. "It's nice."

Sasuke looked a little taken aback, but nodded. "Okay, well... we'll still need a nursery."

Naruto nodded. "Yeah, Squirt will keep us up all night if we keep him in the same place as us."

"You do realize he's your son, so he'll do that no matter where we put him."

Naruto scowled a little, but felt a little warmth in his chest at the playful tone. "He's your son, too, so who knows. Maybe he'll be too emotionally constipated to cry."

"You could only wish."

Naruto was grinning a little openly now, but that was quickly going to change. "I won't bring anyone home for the night without giving you a heads up first. I'd appreciate if you could do the same for me," Sasuke said a little tightly. "And I mean, more than just putting a sock on the doorknob or whatever. More than that."

Naruto felt like someone had punched him in the chest. "Why would- I mean, we can just... why would we bring other people home?"

"Well, you clearly have needs," Sasuke said slowly, tilting his head a little. "Sexual ones. And I have them too. And we both know that it's not really something a friend should take care of. So it's only reasonable that we might become attracted to other people."

Naruto snorted. It felt like Sasuke was intentionally trying to hurt him. He just didn't know why. "Oh yeah, because all the chicks go crazy for the pregnant guys," he said coolly.

"I'm talking more about after. But if you want to bring Sakura or Ino or Hinata by, I'm sure any of them would still be willing to sleep with you in your current predicament. They've practically told me as much. Women understand more than you think."

Naruto flushed darkly and looked away. He felt entirely uncomfortable with the line of conversation. Not because the thought of sleeping with any of those women would be horrible, but because it was Sasuke that was saying it. Sasuke who was basically telling him that from now on, he was off limits.

"Why can't we just... do it this way?" Naruto asked slowly. "I'm attracted to you and you're attracted to me, and this is your baby so clearly you aren't allowed to think I'm fat and ugly. So why not... while I'm pregnant, anyways, we just take care of each other? And if you still- if you want to bring someone home, that's fine. I'll deal. But why not just agree to help each other out during this... situation?"

Sasuke raised a brow at Naruto and shrugged slightly. "I guess sex with you isn't... horrible. Fine. For now, we'll help each other out. But just keep in mind what I said. It's perfectly natural if either of us wants to... branch out."

Honestly, to Naruto, the idea of Sasuke branching out and having sex with Kiba or Shino or- oh god- Sai, made Naruto feel sick to his stomach.

As if understanding his predicament, Squirt gave a gentle kick to his kidney. "A-ah! Squirt!" He said exhaustedly. "Stop kicking me, you maniac!"

Sasuke grinned a little at that, and then did something inexplicable. He lifted his head and twisted his body so that he could press his ear and hands to Naruto's belly. "Wh-" Naruto began, but as if on command, Squirt gave a kick right to where Sasuke's ear was.

"Oh, good. I'm glad he kicks you, too." Naruto said sarcastically. "Now get off me. I'm gross and need a shower, and to wrap my head around all... this. Oh. Shit. Do you have any boxers I can borrow? Mine are wrecked currently."

Sasuke suddenly had that look on his face. The cat-that-ate-the-canary look. Naruto didn't like it. "None that would, uh, fit you," Sasuke said, eyes shining with mirth.

Naruto wasn't pleased. His cheeks flushed and he scooted off the bed and out of Sasuke's reach. "Oh yeah, because you made me fat," he grumbled as he turned his back on Sasuke, feeling incredibly self conscious. "Just tell me where your washroom is."

Sasuke drew in a calming breath and had every intention of trying to soothe Naruto's bruised ego. After all... it was at least a tiny bit his fault that Naruto wouldn't fit the average person's underwear anymore. But Naruto was just grabbing his shirt and pulling it over his head. "Never mind," Naruto mumbled as he speed-walked towards the door. "I think I remember."

Sasuke sighed as Naruto walked out the door and shook his head. Hormones.
