They pelted snowball after snowball at each other till Naruto started coughing up a storm. That was the cue that they needed to go inside.
Minochi held the door open for Sasuke to carry Naruto in. They had only been outside for a few minutes for Naruto to be freezing like this.
It was odd.
Sasuke got him over to the couch where he laid him down gently. He then left to go start a warm bath for the two while Minochi checked on Naruto.
"Mom?"
"Hm?" Naruto cleared his throat afterwards.
"Are you still sick?" The child fidgeted with his 'mom's' coat sleeve.
"No…no sweetie. This is just a cold probably."
Minochi felt like Naruto was lying again. He never understood why he kept so many secrets.
"Alright the tubs ready for you two." Sasuke came back to help Naruto back up.
"I don't want to get Minochi sick Sasuke. If I am sick that is." Naruto tried not cough on the raven.
"We'll I'll run a separate bath then. Minochi's old enough now anyway to take baths on his own right?" Sasuke asked.
Minochi forced a smile and nodded.
"Good, I'll get Naruto in then I'll set yours up." Sasuke led Naruto to the bathroom within his room. After stripping the blonde down without an incident he helped him into his bath. Then he left to start Minochi a bath in the guest room. While the water filled he helped the child with picking out pj's from the spar clothes he'd left there by mistake.
Once the bath was done he let Minochi have his privacy. He then went back to Naruto. It took him a minute to get the nerve to just peek in the bathroom. He was surprised to see Naruto apparently asleep.
Sasuke chuckled causing the blond to wake.
"Why don't you just join me instead of perv out like always?" Naruto asked with a slight cough.
Sasuke walked in and closed the door behind him.
"You sure?" Sasuke asked as he started to rid himself of his clothing.
Naruto chuckled and rolled his eyes.
"Well you're already stripping down so…yeah. Plus I don't mind making you sick." Naruto moved up a bit to allow him to sit behind.
Sasuke got in behind the man and wrapped his arms around him like always and pulled him close.
"How do you feel?" Sasuke trailed kisses along his shoulder.
Naruto giggled and relaxed.
"Great, how's Minochi?" Naruto asked as he allowed Sasuke to wash him.
"He's fine. I don't think he's too happy about taking a bath all by himself. I told him he could bring some of his toys into the bath, but nothing electrical."
"Good job Sasuke. I'm proud!" Naruto leaned back and kissed the raven on the cheek.
Sasuke smiled triumphantly before sliding the rag he had on the blonde's chest downward.
"What do you think you're doing?" Naruto asked with a quirked eyebrow at raven's suggestive motions.
Sasuke shrugged and continued on down over his stomach.
"Nothing just cleaning you. Your sick remember?" Sasuke said with a fake apathetic tone. He then casually reached the man's inner thighs.
Naruto blushed and gripped the raven's wrist.
"You bastard, quit it!" Naruto closed his legs which proved futile later.
Sasuke forced the blonde's legs apart creating waves in the tub from the struggle. With Naruto out of breath from that little scuffle he roamed around the familiar territory freely with the rag.
"Lift up a bit."
"W-what?!" Naruto gulped at the sudden lust filled throaty request.
"Lift up so I can-"
"NO! Are you out of your mind?! You had your chance an hour ago!"
"I know, I know but here just move your hips up like this. "
"N-No! Let go of me!"
"What are you guys doing?" Minochi stood there in the open doorway wrapped in a towel and dripping wet from head to toe. His short raven black hair was plastered against his face. He tilted his head to the side with his toy ship in his hands.
Naruto froze with Sasuke's hands still on his waist holding him up a little ways out of the water.
"Nothing sweetie. W-what happened to your bath?" Naruto asked as he forced himself back down in the tub knowingly hurting Sasuke in the process.
"I washed all by myself but I heard a noise! So I came to make sure you guys weren't scared." Minochi explained. He fumbled with his toy ship somewhat embarrassed.
Sasuke had to look away to silently scream to himself from earlier.
Naruto on the other hand chuckled and held out his arms.
"Come on." Naruto said much to Sasuke's surprise.
"Wait Naruto he can't-"
"YAY!" Minochi shouted out before ditching his towel. He ran over and climbed into the tub to sit in front of Naruto and face him.
Though Naruto had calmed himself down Sasuke hadn't just yet.
"Did you say something Sasuke?" Naruto asked with a maniacal smirk on his lips while he played with Minochi and his ship.
Sasuke just winced and took deep breaths.
"Oh shut up." the raven responded anyway after he'd calmed down. He eventually joined in playing sea monster with Minochi.
"Your hands are Cthulhu and my ship is Ahab!" Minochi moved his ship away from their hands.
Naruto laughed and chased after the ship with his hand pretending it was said sea monster.
"He knows who Cthulhu and Ahab are?!" Sasuke asked Naruto in a whisper. He started to wonder what Naruto had taught their child.
"He gets into weird things when someone's not watching him. I don't know how he does it though." The blond whispered back and grabbed Sasuke's hand to make him join in more.
"We need the help of the Narwhals! Dive, dive!" the little boy shouted as he crashed his ship into the water.
Sasuke snickered and Naruto elbowed him in a joking way as they watched.
"Well if he can summon Narwhals we can summon dolphins." Sasuke used his other hand to pretend to be a dolphin.
Naruto did the same and made a dolphin noise at Minochi whom just giggled.
"H-how do I know you're a dolphin?!" Minochi made his ship ask Sasuke's hand.
Naruto smiled up at the raven.
"Do it." Naruto demanded.
"No way." Sasuke responded flat out.
Minochi pouted and brought his ship closer.
"So you lied you're not a dolphin! You're a baby Cthulhu!" Minochi flailed his ship around like it was shocked.
Naruto laughed and covered his mouth slightly.
Sasuke caved out of nowhere and made his best dolphin impression causing both Naruto and Minochi to laugh hysterically.
After that fun in the tub was over Naruto and Minochi got out first. Though they were still laughing at Sasuke's dolphin noise they managed to wrap themselves in towels off the rack without slipping onto the floor.
"Sasuke are you part dolphin?" Naruto jokingly asked. He watched the raven get out of the tub and grab a towel of the rack, wrapping it around his waist.
Minochi had went to his room to get changed and put up his toy beforehand.
"Yeah laugh it up." Sasuke rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Aww don't be grumpy it was cute. In a weird kind of light."
"Ugh." Sasuke groaned as he walked out of the bathroom back into his room with a giggling Naruto following. There they both dried off and changed in snickered silence.
Naruto changed into a spare orange shirt and black lounge pants while Sasuke changed into a black tank top and navy blue sweatpants.
"Sasuke its freezing put on a shirt!"
"Hn, make me." Sasuke shrugged and climbed into the bed. He laid on his back with hands behind his head and a taunting smirk on his thin lips.
"Alright bastard." Naruto crawled over on top of the man with an equal tease to his movements.
Meanwhile Minochi had changed into his white and blue striped pj's. He ran back to the other room to see his parents on each other again talking about something.
"Are we sleeping in the same room?" Minochi asked hopefully.
Sasuke felt like putting a giant 'cock blocker' sign over the boys head, but he couldn't blame him. It was the karma curse he'd gotten from Naruto.
Naruto looked at the little boy then back to Sasuke with a malicious smile.
"Of course."
Minochi smiled from ear to ear and ran over jumping onto the bed.
"How long are you going to keep this up?!" Sasuke asked in an exasperated hush, hush voice.
"For as long as I want to Sasuke. Especially since you pulled that little stunt in the bathroom." Naruto cooed in soft voice. He kissed the raven's forehead before rolling of the man to his side to bring Minochi over between them.
Sasuke opened his mouth to make a comment but his words froze in his throat when Minochi sort of hugged onto him. Naruto chuckled at Sasuke's stunned expression. He gave the man a reassuring wink that it was a good sign.
