Warning: Accidents (a lot of em'), Dinner, Meeting the Parents, and Reunions.
I STARTED TO REALIZE...
Naruto eyes fluttered slightly as he pursed his lips. There was some strange warmth there that felt nice, but out of place; almost awkwardly place there. Naruto scrunched his eyebrows with his eyes still closed, as he pressed harder into that strange moist warmth.
Sasuke slept peacefully, but was rudely brought out of his land of dreams by an unwelcome pressure on, what he guessed, was his lips. Opening his eyes slowly, Sasuke was assaulted by the image of Naruto with his eyes clenched tightly and his lips pressed against his.
Sasuke eyes were wide as he was forced into one of those situations of 'Do I leave it in or take it out? Do I leave it in or take it out?'. Putting a little weight on his knees, Sasuke looked directly down at Naruto's faced with his lips still attached.
He watched, petrified, as Naruto's eyes slowly fluttered opened and knew automatically what was about to come.
Naruto finally opened his eyes, pissed because he couldn't figure out what that strange sensation was in his head. Once his eyes were opened, his surrounding slowly began to clear around him. He recognized his living room, the couch he slept on, Sasuke's body hovering above him, Sasuke's lips on his own-
WHAT!? Naruto thought as his eyes went cross eyed to make sure that indeed his lips were locked with Sasuke. Looking directly into Sasuke's ebony eyes all thought left Naruto's mind.
"Aaaaagh!!" Naruto screeched as he tumbled off of the couch with his legs tangled in the blanket that were supposed to have been wrapped around him.
As soon as Naruto's body meet with the floor, his hand flew to his lips as he stared at Sasuke with eyes wider than ever. Sasuke just held his breath waiting for the outburst. His wait wasn't long as Naruto immediately shot up to his feet.
"What the hell was that!?" Sasuke decided that the best way to handle the situation was to be cool. Rolling his eyes, Sasuke responded.
"What did it look like, moron?" Naruto's nostrils flared.
"How can you act all nonchalant?! As if you didn't do what you just did!" Sasuke shoved his hands in his pocket and shrugged his shoulders, whilst tilting his head to the side with his eyes narrowed.
"I didn't do anything, so tell me, dobe, what you think I did? Don't hurt yourself." Naruto growled and was quick as he grabbed Sasuke's collar.
"You tell me." Naruto bit out through clenched teeth as he regarded Sasuke with a glare and received the same from the Uchiha. How could he act like this? They had kissed, again! And Sasuke had done it! Hadn't he? Hadn't he!
"Don't you think you're over reacting?" Naruto automatically let go of Sasuke's shirt collar when he heard Iruka's voice slice through the tension. Turning toward the stairs, Naruto watched, still pissed, as Iruka came down slowly with a knowing smile on his face. He had his cell phone in his hands, as he regarded Sasuke with it.
"You'll need to call your parents. I'm pretty sure they're worried about you since you stayed overnight." Naruto looked from Iruka to Sasuke and back again.
"Wait, he slept over? When did he get here? And why did you let him in!?" Iruka put his index finger and thumb to the bridge of his nose as if having a headache.
"Naruto, would you please stop yelling?" Naruto crossed his arms and pouted. Iruka watched Naruto with an exhausted smile. Kakashi had worn him out on just one date. He had come home and could barely make it up the stairs without stumbling.
Who would have thought that stalking your students for blackmailing material could be so exhausting? Iruka had to admit that he did have the time of his life, however, he couldn't say the same for Kakashi, whom hadn't scored any valuable evidence to use against his students.
"And I didn't let him in. He was here before I came home from work- wait!" Iruka yelled before Naruto could holler again.
"He's welcomed anyway he comes." He said to Naruto with a pointed look, daring him to argue. Naruto just crossed his arms and pouted like a child.
Sasuke looked at Naruto with a smug look, before taking the phone from Iruka's grasp, "Thanks, I'll call them now." Iruka nodded his head then patted Naruto on the shoulder, before going back upstairs with a loud yawn thrown over his shoulder.
Naruto watched with a glare as Sasuke dialed, what he could guess, to be his parents' number. Naruto could hear the tone ringing, and was slightly curious by the time the person answered the phone.
"Hello? Sasuke that better be you!" A firm and upset voice said over the phone. A sigh found its way out of Sasuke's mouth as he answered.
"Hai, Okaa-san. Sorry to have made you worry-." Naruto momentarily forgot his irritation at Sasuke as he laughed whole heartedly. Sasuke was making the worst distorted face. Naruto could hear, even from where he stood, Sasuke's mother tearing his ear off over the phone. What was even funnier was his expression once she was done.
Totally and utterly defeated.
What surprised the both of them was when another person hopped onto the phone and made an attempt to tell Sasuke off too, but obviously he didn't hold as much authority in Sasuke's mind.
"Itachi, dammit, get off the phone I'm trying to talk to mom! Oh, go fuck your boyfriend or something!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto heard something that sounded distinctly like 'I'm telling mom!' and then there was nothing stopping Sasuke's curses from streaming from his mouth.
Sasuke quickly put a stop to his curses as a deeper; more gruff voice penetrated the speakers of the phone and reached both their ears. He was so loud and clear it was as if he was on speaker phone. Sasuke straightened, much to Naruto's surprise, and Sasuke too spoke very clearly, and respectfully.
"Ohayo, Oto-san." Sasuke said stiffly, obviously afraid of offending the man, Naruto now knew as Sasuke's father. At least someone had Sasuke's mouth in check mode, Naruto thought with a snicker.
Naruto immediately stopped snickering when he heard Sasuke's father say something, the made him go white in the face.
"-dinner and your Mikoto would like for you to invite your new friend." He finished. Sasuke nodded his head and glanced sideways at Naruto's wiped out expression and smirked.
"Hai, Oto-san. He appreciates the offer-," Naruto looked up at Sasuke with a hopeful expression. Praying that Sasuke would tell his father that he couldn't attend, "-and says he will definitely make an appearance. " Naruto was shell-shocked as he stood there, his mouth agape, and his arms hanging limply at his sides, glaring heatedly at Sasuke.
"Why did you do that?" Naruto whined, much to Sasuke's amusement. His smirk was still planted on his face, as he hung up.
"What are you scared of meeting my family?" Sasuke said getting the reaction he had hoped for.
"Of course not!" Naruto yelled indignantly, his face flushing. Just then Iruka came down freshly dressed in all blue. His uniform consisted of his gun, stun gun, pepper spray, standard polyester blue pants and shirt, Iruka's many awards, and most importantly his well-earned badge.
Iruka smiled as he passed them, "You guys get along now. I'm off for another shift and will be back at about… eleven, so don't stay up for me. Just heat up your dinner-"
"That's okay Iruka. Sasuke," He grumbled as he said his name, "and his family invited me to eat at their house…. Wait when exactly?" Naruto questioned as he turned from a curious Iruka, to an amused Sasuke.
"My father said it was Saturday at seven, so you have nothing to worry about." Sasuke had thought saying this would put Naruto's troubled expression at ease, but it became worse as the seconds ticked by. Iruka coughed to interrupt the awkward silence.
"So then it's today, Sasuke-san?" Sasuke finally understood Naruto's expression.
The whole time he had thought that today was Friday. Slapping a hand to his forehead at how stupid he was, he nodded weakly to Iruka. His pride too bruised for him to utter words just yet.
Iruka turned to Naruto, "Well as long as it's okay with his parents, you could even stay the night if that's what you want?" Sasuke nodded his head as if to that it was fine. Iruka smiled to them again before he pulled on his shoes.
"Well just leave a note with your number and address on it. Oh!" Iruka exclaimed, he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "And you'll also need someone to watch after Kagai." With that said he hastily left shouting 'bye!' over his shoulder, so that he wouldn't have to deal with Naruto's furious expression.
"We what! How are we supposed to find someone last minute-!" Naruto cut his rant short as he suddenly remembered something. "-don't you need at least a little help when taking care of a baby? Isn't being a single parent difficult?" Naruto nodded his head slowly at Ino's words.
"Ino!" Naruto shouted suddenly, grabbing his cell phone and hitting the number eight for speed dial. Sakura had always wanted him to have her friends on speed dial in case he couldn't reach her. For once, it actually came in handy.
The phone rang twice before Ino's voice rang clear and loud enough for both of them to hear her, "Moshi, Moshi?" She said curiously, looking at her, but not recognizing the number.
"Ino?" Ino was surprised when she heard the familiar voice, "Naruto, what's up? Is something wrong? You've never called before." Naruto laughed albeit nervously, as he answered her.
"Well this is kind of an emergency," Naruto said, which peaked Ino's curiosity, "I need you to look after Kagai until like eleven? Can you do that?" Ino nodded over the line, but forgot that Naruto couldn't see her.
"Sure Naruto. I hope you don't mind if I drag Shikamaru and Choji with me though. My mom wouldn't let me out that late if I wasn't with them." Naruto sighed relieved.
"That's fine. Iruka should be back around eleven, so help your self to some of the food in the refrigerator. Tell Choji that that doesn't apply to him." Naruto heard Ino laugh on the other side of the line before agreeing.
"Okay, Naruto. See you at school next week! You should really call more often." Naruto grinned.
"Why Ino I didn't think you'd fall in love with me after just one phone call!" He heard Ino screech on the other line.
"As if!" Naruto laughed.
"Joking! Well thanks for the favor. Appreciate it!" Naruto said getting ready to hang up.
"Anytime." Ino muttered more to herself, but it was loud enough to be heard by Naruto and Sasuke. They both hung up. Naruto turned from putting his phone in his pocket to Sasuke, and grinned.
"So what kind of dinner is this? Does your mom make ramen?" Sasuke just smirked mysteriously.
----
"Aaargh! Stupid tie!" Sasuke rolled his eyes as he watched Naruto fumble stupidly with one piece of fabric. Snatching the tie away from Naruto and slapping his hands in the process, Sasuke made quick work of the tie. Naruto bunched up his shoulders in irritation.
"Stupid tie, stupid people." Naruto muttered when Sasuke finished adjusting his attire. "Why do we have to be so formal? It's just a dinner right? Can't I just wear jeans and a shirt?" Sasuke crossed his eyes at Naruto's mediocrity.
"Sorry, maybe in your house, but not in mine." Naruto crossed his arms over his orange button up shirt. The fact that it was orange annoyed Sasuke to no end, but Naruto didn't have any other color of that same type of shirt.
"Beside," Sasuke continued, still irritated, "You're the guest, and this is supposed to be special." Naruto pursed his lips a bit in thought.
"Just asking, what if your parents don't like me?" Sasuke nearly choked.
"Naruto," He said softly, "for someone who does things without thinking, I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. You're taking this way too seriously. It's not like I'm introducing you as my lover." Naruto left eye twitched slightly.
"Wow, thanks for the insult. I feel loads better, now." Sasuke sighed, exasperated. He thought back to Naruto's strange question. What if he did introduce Naruto as his lover and his parents didn't approve? Sasuke quickly shook the thought away, thinking it to be absolutely absurd. It wasn't like that between them.
A quiet voice in the back of his head muttered, not yet. Sasuke ignored it.
"Just don't worry about it, Naruto. Are we all set to go?" Sasuke asked as he checked himself in the mirror of Naruto surprising neat bedroom. It seemed that around Naruto and his territory, he was always getting surprises, but how would Naruto fare in his?
Naruto turned to Sasuke with a grin, "I'm all set! I left a note for Iruka, with your number, address, and the reason the refrigerator was raided!" Sasuke nodded to himself then snickered as he realized what Naruto meant by 'raided refrigerator', as he proceeded out of Naruto's room and down the hall. Naruto followed, carrying a duffle bag with his clothes in it.
Once in the living room and with better lighting than in Naruto's dim bedroom, Sasuke was able to assess their attire for details.
Naruto wore an orange button-up shirt with a dark-blue tie and dark blue trousers. He had refused to wear black. His hair was its normal spiky mop of blond strands, but it was more tamed when Sasuke attacked with a little something he liked to call gel.
Sasuke, being or a more moody personality, wore the normal black tie and black trousers, the only difference was that Sasuke's hair looked dark blue instead of black compared to the real color. Nothing major had been done to his hair either, but like Naruto he had also gelled it a bit.
Sasuke came out of his examination when Naruto rudely clapped his hands together impatiently, "So, are we going or not? I didn't change into this get-up to stand in my own living room!" Sasuke shoved Naruto by the shoulder out of the door.
"Ladies first." Naruto turned his head over his shoulder, as Sasuke continued to push him out the door.
"Oh ha, ha! Sasuke cracked a joke." With the front door closed, their petty arguing could still be heard inside of the empty house by Kagai who slept restlessly in her crib. A storm was coming and she could feel it down in her soul.
----
At about five to eight o'clock, a black Mercedes Benz pulled up to the Uchiha Mansion gates. Rolling down the window, Sasuke punched in the number code and watched with sense of déjà vu, as the gates slowly opened to allow his car to enter. The only problem was the gaping idiot in the passenger seat.
"Would you please close your mouth? You're drooling all over the seats." Snapping his mouth shut, Naruto turned to glare at Sasuke.
"Well excuse me, mister multi-millionaire I was just admiring the fences!" Sasuke rolled his eyes at Naruto childishness once again. Its times like these he thanked god for the gift of aging. Pulling out his cell-phone, Sasuke speed-dialed his mother and waited, as the tone blared on and off. Finally someone picked up the phone.
"Uchiha Residence, may I ask whose calling?" Itachi, Sasuke thought with an annoyed sigh.
"You know exactly who this is, Itachi. Unlock the door, I'm pulling into the drive way." Sasuke hung up the phone and vaguely heard Naruto mutter 'freeway's more like it', before he pulled the car to a stop.
The two were out of the car and at the door in less than a minute, as Sasuke grumbled at the door because it stood there still locked. Ringing the doorbell repeatedly, Sasuke wasn't surprised to see it jerked open and Itachi's goofily grinning face to appear seconds later.
"Ma, I forgot! Sorry Sasuke, I was momentarily distracted." Sasuke just glared as he shoved past Itachi's taller frame. Naruto timidly entered the gigantic house behind Sasuke, allowing the butler to take his coat and place it among the already huge assortment of coats and jackets. He forgot his cell phone in the pocket. He watched, distractedly, as the butler toke his duffle bag up the large staircase, lined with red carpet.
"I'm guessing your boyfriend's here?" Itachi laughed nervously before mumbling 'yes'. Naruto stared at Itachi for a brief moment before blushing and turning towards Sasuke's back. Itachi caught the look from the corner of his eye and smiled evilly.
"My, Otouto you picked a cute one! He's so precious! How long have you been dating?" Naruto eyes widened in an owlish manner, as he and Sasuke wiped their heads around to face each other.
"What!?" They both shouted in unison. All Itachi did was nod his head approvingly.
"Yes, I see. It truly is genetics. Uchiha's are naturally attracted to blondes!" Sasuke slapped his forehead with a groan.
"Itachi we are not dating, he's just a friend!" Itachi shook his finger in disapproval.
"Tsk, tsk, Sasuke. That's what they all say. So, how long have you guys been screwing each other?" In the next moment, Itachi face had connected with the ground with a huge 'crack!' as his rather hyper lover finally got fed up with his fiancé's choice of a subject.
Sasuke looked up at his brother-in-law with gratitude, "Thank you so much." The boyfriend winked at Sasuke and put a finger to his mouth.
"If he doesn't remember, don't remind him. I'm going to have to pay for it in the bedroom later." Sasuke held up his hand, as if to halt the oncoming conversation.
"Too much unneeded information." The blonde haired man laughed heartily and Sasuke smiled. No wonder Sasuke's parents took a liking to this man so fast.
The blond stranger's eyes strayed to the figure hidden just behind the youngest Uchiha.
"Who's your friend?" Sasuke frame automatically tensed for a reason Sasuke just wasn't sure.
Naruto couldn't believe his eyes, as he moved from behind Sasuke's body. Swallowing the lump in his throat, Naruto croaked out the only name he could apply to the familiar blond stranger.
"Deidara-oniisan?(1)" Sasuke suddenly felt left out, as he watched in a blink of an eye, the man addressed as Deidara, swoop Naruto into the biggest hug ever.
