Chapter 11
Naruto was walking, well, hopping with the support of his crutches, down the street with Sai and Kiba; both of them felt concerned for the blonde because he was living by himself because both his patents had gone missing and he had been having drastic mood changes, many of them were about Sasuke, so they'd offered to walk him home.
Sai glanced at Naruto who was humming a tune of a song that he had never heard before, mainly because he didn't listened to music he just painted and if he did it was during that time and it was classical music, so it was pretty alien to him, but he listened to Naruto's humming.
Kiba had one headphone in his ear but his ear closest to Naruto was free so he would still be able to hear if Naruto was going to speak to him, but he didn't. It was quite an awkward walk as no one would start up an conversation.
Sai gradually got too close to Naruto and touched his bum. "Sai, don't touch my ass, you idiot, I have a boyfriend!" Naruto yelled, glaring at his dark haired friend. Sai's coal black eyes looked down at the ground guilty of what he just did.
"Sai, if you are touching my Naruto I will fucking kill you." They heard someone yell, it sounded a lot like Sasuke but they couldn't see him. Sai kept looking around and started to spin, he soon got dizzy and stumbled into Naruto, pushing him over and landing on top of him.
"Oh, Sai has something for Naruto." Kiba grinned, taking a photograph of them both as it looked like Sai was going to kiss Naruto. "I don't think Uchiha will be happy to see this and I want to see a fight."
Sai blushed heavily quickly scrambling off Naruto. "S-Sorry, Naruto-kun, I didn't mean to." He mumbled, looking away. "I just fell." His blushed deepened when Naruto held his hand out to him but he didn't take it.
"Dude, I need a hand up, I can't get up by myself." Naruto mumbled, still holding out his hand. "I still can't walk by myself yet, idiot."
Sai blinked, taking his hand and pulled Naruto up so he could pick up his crutches. Naruto picked up his crutches just as he was hit over again by Akamaru running into the trees that was by the main road to Naruto's home. Kiba chased after Akamaru not giving his friend a second thought, Akamaru was more important to him.
Sai helped Naruto up again and gave him his crutches so he could balence again, they both started to walk the way Kiba and Akamaru had when they heard, somebody in hysterical laughter. Naruto and Sai looked at each other blinking and then carried on that way, feeling unsure about it all.
As they slowly got closer they could see Kiba was on the ground having a laughing fit. Tied to the tree was Sasuke who was struggling against his bounds that kept him there. He was glaring at the laughing mess on the floor, trying to kick him but Kiba was out of reach. Naruto and Sai looked at Sasuke in shock and puzzlement.
"Sasuke, why are you tied to tree?" Naruto asked softly, getting the raven haired boy's attention. Sasuke onyx eyes, stared into Naruto's blue ones, then looked down and away. The blonde went around to the back of the tree and got the knife he carried in his bag out. He sawed through the rope until it snapped and he heard a loud thud of Sasuke falling to the ground.
Sasuke stood up, kicking Kiba in the side to get him to stop laughing. He then brushed himself down, looking at the ground. Naruto walked around and looked at his lover. Sasuke's skin was pale, paler than normal and he was shivering, he looked sick like he had caught a fever or something.
"Sasuke, come home with me, I'll warm you up." Naruto grinned. "And I'll look after you, I'll get you anything you need."
Sasuke glanced at him but didn't say anything. His hand quickly came up to his mouth before he coughed. He looked at the ground, sighing heavily. He still trembled and he pulled his black blazer around him. Naruto could tell he was out here all night as he was wearing what he wore at Mikoto's funeral. Sasuke got something out of his pocket, a small box that had an image on. He popped it open, pulling out one of the roll ups and popped it in his mouth.
Naruto blinked in shock. "Sasuke, I thought you stopped smoking." He said, his voice full of worry and concern.
Sasuke got his lighter out, lighting it, taking in a puff before he start to talk. "I started again after my mother's death, Naruto." His voice was dead and it almost had no emotion but Naruto could pick up on the sadness in his voice. "It relaxes me."
Naruto sighed, taking it from his hand and chucking it on the ground, using his crutches to put it out. "You can't rely on them, Sasuke, you've got me to talk to remember. I won't think anything bad about it." He told him. "I'm here for you like you are for me, now why we you tied to a tree?"
Sasuke sighed, feeling like kicking Kiba again. "Itachi, he tied me there." He mumbled, looking away. "Can we go to yours and get away from this mutt please?"
Naruto chuckled softly at the name he called Kiba knowing that Sasuke called him that because of his eyes and teeth and the way he acts around Akamaru. "Sure, Sasu-chan." Naruto grinned, he could see that Sasuke blushed heavily at that and it made him even more happier. "Kiba, Sai you can go stright home, Sasuke will look after me." He told his friends.
Kiba and Sai blinked, looking at them both. "Uchiha, you better look after him and do not let him cross the road on his own, he isn't getting hit by anymore trucks." Kiba glared at Sasuke.
The raven haired male just scoffed, looking away. "I won't let that happen again, don't you worry mutt." He grumbled, crossing his arms.
Naruto blinked looking between the two and then grinned. "I'm glad both of you are getting along so way." He sarcastically said, making them both glare at him and then at each other.
"We are not getting along!" They both yelled, together, making Naruto laugh so hard he nearly collapsed to the ground but Sasuke didn't let him, holding him up.
"Let's... Go... Home." Naruto said between breaths as he tried to calm down, water was leaking from his eyes as he laughed so hard. He slowly started to walk in the opposite direction that he had came in thinking it was that way.
Sasuke sighed, turning him around and pointing in the direction he had to go in. "Dobe, it's that way." He sighed. Naruto started to walk in that direction, thanking Sasuke, who followed him.
They both soon got to the main road, Sasuke was staying closer to the road keeping Naruto away from who didn't have any protest to it. They both walked in silence, not feeling up to talking. Naruto could feel the cold aura coming off Sasuke and he knew Sasuke once again was depressed not like the time before he found out his mother was dying, then he was happy and had a nicer aura but now it was dark and had hardly any emotion but sadness.
Sasuke glanced at his blonde and then down sighing heavily. "What if our dads get together after this, Naruto?" He mumbled, looking down sadly. "Would that mean we would have to break up because we basically would be brothers then and wouldn't that be weird."
"Nah, we can still keep going out we would have been going out with each other for a long time until they get together, it wouldn't be fair." Naruto grinned, as they approached his house. Naruto walked up to the front door, unlocking it and then got gently pushed in by Sasuke who had his arms wrapped around Naruto's waist. Naruto didn't care that he did that, he was actually happy about it.
Sasuke walked in behind Naruto, nuzzling into his shoulde. Once they were both inside, Sasuke kicked the door closed, not wanting to let go of his blonde boyfriend. Sasuke's arms tightened around his waist as Naruto tried to pull out of his grip.
Naruto looked back at him blinking. "Sasuke, could you let go, I jut want to check if dad or mum have come back yet." He mumbled, looking down.
Sasuke gripped loosened and he spun Naruto to look at him. "Naruto, your parents are always here why would you have to check?" He asked, looking worried now. "Were you here alone last night?" Naruto looked away not saying anything. "Naruto, answer my quesion!" He snapped without even meaning to.
Naruto jumped at his tone of voice and timidly looked at them. "They both have gone, Sasuke, both of them, they didn't come back last night. They didn't come back!" He buried his face into Sasuke shoulder before Sasuke could see the tears that started to fall. "They didn't come back, Dad told me to stay at yours but I didn't want to because I knew you would need more comfort than me so I came here and waited for them but they didn't come back." He sniffled into his shoulder.
Sasuke looked at Naruto sadly. "I'm so sorry, I should have came here last night for you." He mumbled, cuddling him. "You shouldn't have been on your own, something could have happened to you." He closed his eyes trying not to rememeber that time when he was walking home himself.
Naruto looked up at him with watery eyes. "I was going to call you but then I didn't because I knew you would have been grieving with your family and I didn't want to call you out so late just incase that Orchimaru was out and he got you again." He sniffled, clinging to Sasuke shirt to keep him up as he had lost the crutches.
Sasuke shook his head. "You still should have, I would have got Itachi to drive me around even if his blonde friend was there, you should have called me or your brother." He mumbled. "Either would have been fine but tonight I'm staying here, I kept some of my stuff here on purpose."
The blonde nodded. "Okay, Sasu-chan." He mumbled into his chest, a small smile on his lips now but it was very smaller. "Could you carry me over to the sofa pwease?"
Sasuke sighed, picking him up. "Usuratonkachi." He chuckled softly going over to the sofa and sitting down with his blonde on his lap. "That better?"
Naruto nodded, cuddling into his boyfriend. "Much." He mumbled happily. "Do you wanna watch a movie or something, there might be one on?" He asked not sure if Sasuke liked movies because he had never seen him watch movies or watch TV for that matter.
"I don't mind, I'll do whatever you want to do." Sasuke mumbled softly as Naruto leaned over to the table to grab the remote. "Just not some pansy chick flick."
Naruto grinned, turning on the telly. "Okay, I don't like them either." He flicked through the channel guide trying to find a movie they both would like but then Naruto just put on a comedy. Of course Sasuke didn't care what he had put on because he just wanted to spend time with Naruto even if that meant sitting through an hour and a half of touture just to do that.
Naruto could feel one of Sasuke's arms was not around him as tightly as the other and he could tell that everytime Sasuke cuddled him he was quickly loosening the grip of the arm. He liked the gloves Sasuke wore but he knew now that there was only one reason why he would wear them now but he kept quiet until the film finshed.
The film soon finished after a load of laughter coming from Naruto and small chuckles coming from Sasuke. They both had stayed in the same position for the whole film, neither of them getting uncomfortable. Naruto although had cuddled into Sasuke more during it but his lover didn't mind.
"Sasuke, I'm hungry." The younger blonde whined. Sasuke chuckled softly, picking up his blonde and plonked him down in the empty seat. "I want ramen."
Sasuke leaned into him, his face inches from Naruto's, making the blondes face heat up. "You get what I cook, Dobe." He smirked, he quickly pecked Naruto on the lips before standing and going to the kitchen.
"Teme, that's not fair!" Naruto pouted crossing his arms but when he got no reply from Sasuke he knew he wouldn't be able to fight him, Sasuke would cook even if he fought for what he wanted it wouldn't make a diffrence even if did try so he just changed the channel over to something else.
In the kitchen, Sasuke was looking through the freezer, trying to find something for them to eat but after a whole of searching he stuck with pizza. He had already started to preheat the oven so all he had to do was unwrap it and place the pizza in the oven and all he had to do was wait. He sat down looking at the plan walls that seemed to get on his nerves a lot, probably because he prefered things dark. He could hear the laughter of Naruto knowing the blonde was probably watching some child's program.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Sasuke, can you get the door." Naruto called. The yougest Uchiha sighed heavily, standing up. He walked out the kitchen, glancing at Naruto who was intoxicated with the TV. Sasuke went over to the door, pulling it open. He looked at the man stood there smirking at him.
"Hello, Sasuke-kun." The man grinned.
