DISCLAIMER: Sometimes dreams don't come true… So I don't own

WARNINGS: Some Naru and Sasu time… aloonneee…

Minato was a man of his word. When he meant that he would subtly thank Sasuke, he meant it. And this seemed like the only way. Although at the same time he didn't like it.

He and Kushina were going on away for their second honeymoon. Just he and his wife. He was anticipating reconnecting their marriage with his wife. But they had to leave Naruto alone for a week.

Jiraiya and Tsunade lived too far for Naruto to stay with them. He did have school after all.

So he decided to leave his precious baby boy with Sasuke. In their household.

And there was no turning back now.

He waved back at Naruto who stood outside their doorway. He sighed to himself. He had to trust Naruto to take care of himself. He's taught him well and this is a test for Naruto to complete. No help from mommy or daddy.

Kushina sensed her husband's distress and smiled. She knew that he knew that their son had to grow up, he just didn't grow up the way they expected. She could tell why he was so insecure about Sasuke. It was as plain to her like a red apple sticking out from green apples.

She rested her hand on her husband's thigh. "He's not replacing you." She said.

Minato looked at her briefly before looking back at the road. What was that?

"Just because Naru-chan has a new boyfriend doesn't mean he's going to forget you." She said reassuringly. "Even if he gets married you're still gonna be his dad. Like I'm sure if Naru-chan ever got a girlfriend I would feel as if I was being replaced as the woman in Naru-chan's life."

He sighed and gripped the wheel a bit. "I know but, Naruto seems like he's been disregarding me a bit ever since Sasuke came into the picture."

Kushina just giggled. He obviously didn't remember what he was like during the first three months of their relationship. She remembered her memories clearly. The way they would stare all lovey-dovey at each other, they would focus solely on what they said, and how every time they would reunite, they went on and on about how they missed each other even if they just saw each other yesterday.

Ah yes, she remembered those days well. Of course over the progression of their relationship, they began to slip into a comfortable demeanor, no longer acting as if they were oblivious to everything around them but each other.

"Don't worry about it Minato, Naru-chan should be out of it soon."

Minato looked at his wife briefly and then back at the road.

Out of what?

Kiba leaned against the lockers and grinned at Naruto. "Man I am so glad you're out of it now!"

Naruto looked at his friend and tilted his head to the side a bit. Out of what?

"Man you don't even know, do you!" he said. He laughed when Naruto tilted his head to the other side, obviously confused to what he was talking about.

"No mutt, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm out of what now?"

Kiba looked over to Shikamaru, seeing the lazy boy smirk a little. Even he knew what he was talking about and the guy was asleep half of the time. Said lazy boy rubbed the back of his neck and yawned a bit before answering their blonde friend's question.

"You know, you're back to being yourself." Shikamaru answered.

Naruto was utterly confused now. Back to being himself? What were they talking about? "Psh, what are you saying? I've always been the same."

Both boys shook their heads. Yup, Naruto was just that oblivious about his own actions sometimes.

Kiba slung an arm over the shorter male and grinned a feral grin. "Come on man, don't tell me you didn't know!"

Alright, now he was getting upset. Naruto squirmed out underneath Kiba's arm and glared at his friends. Raising his hands above his head he shouted, "What are you guys talking about?"

"Quiet Uzumaki!" boomed a nearby teacher.

Naruto winced but asked again in a quieter tone, "What are you guys talking about?"

"Dude, for the past two months when you were dating Sasuke you've been like a little lovesick girl. You were with him almost all the time, you always blushed when he was near, and you practically jumped in his arms every time you saw him as if you haven't met with the guy in a year or something." Kiba answered, "They actually got a name for that, right Shika?"

The blonde directed his gaze toward his lazy friend and looked at him expectedly. He was going to defind him right? Well he was wrong.

Shikamaru yawned his response, "The honeymoon stage."

Naruto gaped at his friend but then put on a pout. "Yeah right! You guys are shitting me right? I have been totally normal ever since I started dating Sasuke!"

Both boys looked at each other before back at Naruto. "Okay fine, ask Gaara about his opinion. You always take his word for almost everything."

Naruto turned to look back and saw his best friend arriving towards them. When the said boy was in their presence, Naruto instantly got into his face.

"Gaara! Be honest with me! I've been totally normal ever since I was dating Sasuke right? I wasn't acting weird or like a lovesick girl right!" Naruto shouted in his friend's face.

The best friend of the blonde picked at his ear a bit then answered, "No you weren't normal. Yes you were acting like a lovesick girl."

Naruto was taken aback. He couldn't believe Gaara didn't back him up! But then again, he told him to be honest. And Gaara was honest. And that was his honest observation, which was both shared by Shikamaru and Kiba.

"You were in the honeymoon stage is all."

Naruto stomped is foot. What the hell was this whole 'honeymoon' thing? He saw Kiba hand over some money to Shikamaru and then to Gaara. "Alright you guys won the bet. He snapped out of the honeymoon stage before three months. Dammit! For sure I thought he would last for another month!"

Gaara pocketed the money, a twinkle of victory in his eye as did Shikamaru.

"You guys bet on me on this whole 'honeymoon' thing?" Naruto asked. He seriously couldn't believe his friend's at the moment.

"Yup, when you started dating Sasuke we made a bet to see how long you would last in the honeymoon stage. Gaara and I bet two and Kiba bet three." Shikamaru said.

"And he lost." Gaara added in. Despite his blank face, you could sense some sort of smug, victory tone in his voice.

Naruto pouted and crossed his arms. He serisouly couldn't believe his friends at the moment.

"So dude, speaking of honeymoon's, didn't you tell us a little while ago that your parents were leaving for their second one?" Kiba asked.

"Uhh… Yeah. They left yesterday. It was weird, Papa actually let me stay at Sasuke's home while they're gone. I thought for sure he would bunk me in with one of you guys."

Kiba grinned again and chuckled. "Rooming with your boyfriend for a week huh? Wonder what you guys are gonna do in the same bed!"

Gaara punched Kiba in the arm harshly. Naruto smiled in appreciation at the action.

Sasuke could hear Naruto humming through the bathroom. He lifted the carry-on bag Naruto had brought and put it on his bed. He couldn't help the curiousity in what his boyfriend brought. He unzipped the luggage and flipped open the top.

First thing he saw was green boxers decorated with bananas.

What the fuck?

"Bastard! Hands off my underwear!" screeched the blonde, standing behind him. He grabbed the garment out of the raven's hands and glared. "Don't you know not to go snooping in other people's belongings?"

"Yes I do," Sasuke said with a smirk, "but that doesn't stop me anyway."

Naruto huffed and through his underwear back in his luggage and zipped it back up. "Whatever. Just keep your paws off my clothes alright?"

The bastard just smirked and wound his arms around the smaller male. Fuck he was too cute. He nuzzled the tan neck and sighed, "Sure, whatever keeps you from being loud and annoying."

Naruto huffed once again and shrugged out of Sasuke's embrace. He was beginning to formulate the idea that Sasuke might be a bit of a pervert.

He jumped on the king sized bed and took in the feel of it. He bunched up the sheets between his fingers and reveled in the texture and scent. It was soft and smelt of Sasuke's cologne. He almost felt bad for ruining it. He rolled onto his back and stared at the white ceiling and appreciated that there was no popcorn, just a smooth white surface.

Naruto hated having popcorn on his ceilings.

He felt the bed dip and Sasuke was next him, propped up on his elbow and looking down at him.

"Hey Sasuke, I've got a question."

"Hn."

Naruto twiddled with his fingers a bit and continued, "When we were started dating, I wasn't acting… like weird or anything right?"

He looked up and saw Sasuke contemplating a bit. Then he was answered, "You were a little out of character but I was expecting it. It's part of the honeymoon phase."

Naruto shot up and let out a frustrated cry. "Fuck! Why does everyone know about this honeymoon shit but me!" He turned back to see Sasuke smirking at him. Then he sighed and laid back down, pouting and crossing his arms.

Sasuke leaned down and pecked him on the lips. "Don't worry about it babe. The honeymoon phase only lasts so long. I heard it only lasts about two or three months."

The blonde groaned and covered his eyes with his arm. "Kiba, Shikamaru, and Gaara actually made a bet to see how long I would last in that honeymoon stuff or whatever." He turned over and snuggled into Sasuke's chest.

He felt an arm wrap around his waist and then a deep chuckle. "Really now. Who won?"

Sasuke felt a small pinch to his chest and squeezed his fingers around the slim waist.

"It doesn't matter. I was just pissed that they made a bet about me."

A deep chuckle rung out again and Naruto felt the raven nuzzle his nose into his hair and sort of hum against it. People were always fascinated by his hair.

He didn't know what for. It was just hair. Yeah it was blonde and it was natural, it's called genetics. It came from his dad. And they said it always smells like sunshine. He didn't get that either. He always thought if you were in the sun too long you smelled. And then pondered why people were sniffing his hair in the first place. And they were always commenting on how soft it was. Well yeah, because his mom taught him good hygiene and how to take care of himself.

Naruto just didn't get this fascination with it.

"Bastard get your nose away from my head."

"Hn. Don't tell me what to do dobe."

"You're sniffing my hair."

"Yeah and?"

"It's weird."

Sasuke pushed himself back a bit and looked down at his boyfriend. He was still pouting and the expression went down to his dick.

Fuck, control yourself.

"It doesn't bother me."

Then he kissed the idiot before he could respond with something stupid. He adjusted himself so that he hovered over the smaller male. There was a bit of resistance but he smirked against the kiss when Naruto gave in anyway.

It was always nice to win.

Two bodies shifted beneath the sheets when an alarm went off. A pale hand reached out from underneath the thread and smacked the clock quiet. He shifted when the other body groaned and felt a leg invade his side of the bed.

"Dammit Sasuke, what time is it?" Naruto yawned, cuddling next to the other body.

"It's six." The raven answered, suppressing a yawn when he watched Naruto.

"Six? What the hell? I don't get up that early to get ready for school." He groaned and retreated back into the warmth. But then he peeked back up because he caught something interesting. Seeing Uchiha Sasuke have bed head and tired. He was sure fangirls from his school would chop off a finger or two to see the sight.

"Maybe not for you, but I take my time dobe."

Sasuke's head was slightly messed. His usually perfect hair had a few strands here and there standing out from the rest. And his bangs, which usually were perfectly kept to frame his head, it hung in his face. And he slept shirtless and his posture was slouching.

Naruto always knew that even the most prim and proper people would have to let their hair down sometime. And the way Sasuke did was nothing short of sexy.

How lucky was he to actually have Sasuke as a boyfriend and see him a bit out of character?

Very lucky he would say.

Many others would say that he was blessed.

He sat up and crawled into Sasuke's lap.

Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto and pulled him closer. He noticed that the blonde was staring at him in wonder, his gaze was intense and his eyes were wide and glazed over a bit. He watched blue eyes travel down and he realized that the idiot was checking him out.

"You know Sasuke," Naruto mumbled, still sleepy, "I like seeing you like this. It actually makes you look less like a stuck up prick."

"Really? Maybe I should go to school like this if it satisfies you." Sasuke asked teasingly.

Naruto shook his head and leaned himself closer to Sasuke so that their foreheads bumped. "No way. I wanna be the only one to see you like this. If you the fangirls saw you, they'd practically drag you into a closet."

Sasuke smirked and pressed his lips against the soft pink ones of his boyfriend. He felt the body press even closer and arms wrap around his neck. He shifted a bit and adjusted the body seated against his. He didn't want Naruto to feel the slight bulge forming in his lower extremities.

He honestly thought that this was a nice way to start his mornings. He had to remember to cherish this because Naruto would only be sleeping in his room for a week until his parents came back from their honeymoon.

He would appreciate every second of this.

"Otouto!" Itachi greeted, barging open the door, surprising both boys. Naruto jumped away, off of Sasuke's lap onto the floor. Without giving away any sign of amusement, Itachi merely said, "Good morning. And to you too Naruto-kun."

Sasuke growled at the intruder and glared. "What the fuck do you want Itachi?"

"I just wanted to greet my little brother and his guest a good morning."

Bullshit!

"Now get ready for school and come join us for breakfast."
