This story maybe ending soon or put on hold because I have no idea what to write anymore. More likely, it's going to take me weeks to upload another at a time. Sorry to disappoint.

Blind Date
Sasuke stood outside his family's door in a extreme petulant mood with Naruto standing next him looking all innocent as a baby, but permitting an air of complete smugness and conceitedness that people across the road can feel. The prick had gotten on Sasuke's last nerve for the past 3 weeks. That foreboding rhetorical question 'Is that so', accompanied with the creepy smile and blazing eyes full of determination, gave him the creeps making him feel as he definitely chose the wrong choice in opposing Naruto. And he was right, although he would never say it out loud. It was a stupid way to hold on to his dignity by pretending that it never happened especially when the other party knew full well what had happened.
The moments after the question started off really small like Naruto was building up to his big momentum. It was small stuff that he never noticed back then but he did now, such as the silent treatment. Sasuke was a naturally someone who hardly cared if someone talked or not so that barely bothered him. When that didn't work, Naruto resorted to loud chatting and rarely shutting up. He talked repeatedly for minutes at a time and whenever he was with Sasuke he called him up and talked. If they couldn't talked he would leave long texts and placed hidden messaged inside somewhere that Sasuke would have listen out for and remember when Naruto called again. That left him with barely any time to recuperate from the exhausting conversations. That didn't work as much as Sasuke just bought earplugs, and at least for him everything was alright again. But then it got to the bad stuff.
Two weeks ago, Naruto felt the need to touch him everywhere. Like a small brush of his lips against his neck or a squeezing touch on his hips. Usually such touches would feel like normal, intimate and regular thing Naruto did anyway. However the intention changed. It felt seductive and torturous. And it was seductive and torturous. Naruto became a demon-in-disguise. Wherever they went Naruto touched Sasuke. He touched lazily, covertly, openly and excitingly. All occasions with Naruto brought Sasuke into a rabid state filled painful need. And then when they were alone…
Sasuke shivered, vibrating violently. He didn't want to think about it. The cruelty he never knew Naruto had. He was sadistic and with stamina on his side… Just the thought of getting on Naruto's bad side again made him want to cry and ran away screaming in terror.
He coughed and moved a step closer to the door imperceptibly, away from the encroaching aura of the man behind him, making him sweat in almost fear. And lust, masochistic lust, he thought. He was so into his thought that he didn't realise the door had opened until Naruto touched his shoulder for attention. He flung his body away with a cry, instantly his mind flashed back to that day when his body reached heights it has never been before…
"Nice to see you too Sasuke and after such a long time, you greet with in such manner. I'm charmed." Shisui wryly let out from the body hanging out to him for dear life. "If I knew this was the greeting I would get then I wouldn't have answered the door." He walked away, guiding the guests to the leaving room where the rest of the family were, holding onto Sasuke and gestured with his hand for Naruto to come in and shut the door.
Naruto felt like a little kid in a candy store as he took in everything in the house. The dull blue yet bright colour of the wall, the family pictures hanging on the wall and the homey furniture about the place signalled a female's touch. The stripes of black on the walls, the crossing swords hanging high up on the wall gleaming with its sharp-edged beauty signified a man's touch. It reminded him so much of his parent's house where his dad tried to have a say in the decoration and leadership.
Naruto walked through the living room where he was caught off guard by who were scattered around the room talking to each other only that their heads turned simultaneously to look at the two newcomers. Their heads didn't even turn back at the sound of the doorbell ringing again. Their expressions only grew more incredulous as Itachi calmly joined them like was always there and was never disowned.
"S-Sasuke? Itachi?" Mikoto whispered uncertainly as if her eyesight was failing her and she was just hallucinating.
Sasuke stature, which was hard and unmoving as he stared at the hostile face of his father, softened almost unnoticeably at the figure of his dazed and crying mother. She was holding on tightly on the sofa as if what was only the in the world that could hold her up, leaving fingernail marks.
"Mother," Itachi spoke and bowed down and inch, not conveying a sign of discomfort Sasuke knew for sure he was feeling. Only someone who had been around him for a long time would notice it.
Mikoto, their mother, shook like the sound of Itachi's voice confirmed what her eyes wouldn't believe. She opened her eyes and it gave off a determined glint that told anyone looking into it , that she'd been given a second chance and it's one she won't let go off without a fight.
She breathed out shakily and stood up straight, smoothing out invisible wrinkles on her dress. She smiled with a degree of brightness that made the other Uchihas look at her in wonder. "Come in boys, and sit down. You came just in time for dinner."
"Mikoto! What the hell do you think you…?" Fugaku started but was quelled by the ferocious and deadly glare bestowed upon by his wife. He was not the only one which obviously showed that this was not a regular occurrence. She turned back to her son and smiled brightly.
"Get going, boys. The food is going to get cold," She ushered Sasuke and Itachi towards the dining table. "Now Sasuke, sit here please, who is this? Is this friend?"
Sasuke dawdled by shovelling food into his mouth as soon as he sat down and he was served his food. He murmured his thanks and enjoyment of the taste. He was pushed into answering by the elbow that dug into his ribs, courtesy of his dearly beloved Naruto. "Umm, well. He's my…he's my…he's my… my, umm, boyfriend," He whispered uneasily before saying it again, stronger and a tad inappropriately. "He's my boyfriend, lover, the guy I'm fucking whatever you want to call it."
"Awesome, Sasuke!" Obito blurted out loudly, disrupting the third reaction of shock from the audience. He focused on Naruto with an unwavering focus. "I never thought you would have the guts to finally come out in the open, especially with your dad here. I congratulate you. Man, am I proud. So, what's the name of the blond?"
Naruto twitched at the rude way of addressing him. The blond, indeed. Is that the only thing people notice about him? Though, I can't help but like it,he thought when he looked into the grinning face of Obito and the sly, mischievous eyes. "Naruto Uzumaki."
"Hmm. It suits you for some reason. Right, well I'll do the introductions. Starting from my left is Tobi, my twin brother. Oh yeah, that reminds me, if you don't know already, but I'm Obito. Continuing on, the next guy is my older brother Madara. Fugaku, the head of the family, Sasuke and Itachi's dad. Please don't take any notice of the scowl; it's been permanently stuck to his face the minute he was born. Mikoto, the lovely lady over there, their mother. Last but not the least, because there is a ton of Uchiha left in the world, cousin Shisui, Itachi's best friend and Sasuke's pain in the earse. This is the main and immediate Uchiha family members. Excluding the few who are too lazy or too busy to join.
Naruto followed the introduction, anxiously, feeling almost intimidated by the various responses yet happy to be here meeting them for the first time and hopefully many times after that despite how damage they may do to his mind and body. He repeated his greetings back to them as well, however he steadfastly refused to look into Fugaku, err Mr Uchiha's eyes.
"What is that you do, Naruto?" Mikoto asked politely and curiously. She didn't seem to have been stricken or infinitely surprised by the sudden turn of events and most importantly, Sasuke's declaration. In fact, she almost seemed to have expected this and took it into stride.
"I'm a chef and I own a restaurant…" Naruto stuttered out once a while as he was put on the spot but he babbled on about his job and a little more as the calm and patient face of Mikoto, the escalating rage on Mr Uchiha's and the uneasy or hostile gazes of the other Uchiha's stared him down. He only shut off when he was gently stabbed in the thigh with Sasuke's fork, telling him he was going on a bit too much.
"That was a bit more than I expected to know, thank you Naruto. I will have to come by and stop at your restaurant someday in the future. It's a good thing that I like a bit of everything." She smiled encouragingly at Naruto and he couldn't help but relax.
The way she smiled and her whole aura just seemed so familiar to him. She made him feel warm and fuzzy like a cat indulged with the pleasure of petting from his owner. Wait a minute. My mother!, he thought with sudden clarity. That was it! She reminds me of my mum. Granted though, they were the opposite in looks and personality. Mikoto was a brunette and petite. Kushina, his mum, was tanned and had a head of dark red hair. Mikoto was quiet, lovely and sweet. Kushina was loud, brash and compassionate. Most people would wonder how he'd made the connection between them if their beings were so different. But their basic foundation was the pretty much the same.
They ate and talked their way through dinner with barely any input from Fugaku. The conversation was never stilted or awkward because of Mikoto and Obito. Even Itachi and Sasuke talked much more than usually do because they were reuniting with their family and catching up on what they missed. Naruto came to love the individual personalities of every single family member. Such as Shisui sarcastic ways; he was like another Itachi just a bit friendlier. Tobi was quirky and cute and so different from the rest, He was so cheerful and happy and he definitely would have fit in with Naruto's family. The opposite can be said about Madara though. Completely. Naruto was sure that he was sadistic in every way. The few times in stumbled throughout the conservation and the Twister game that Obito decided they would play after showed this. When it was his turn to spin the wheel he definitely cheated and made them impossible moves and breaking every single personal boundary there was because he kept on putting Sasuke and Naruto uncomfortably close to each other, practically breathing in each other's air and Fugaku almost attacked Naruto once when it looked like they were about to have sex right then and there. While Naruto was fighting for his life and away from Fugaku's hands Madara snuck out to laugh himself silly over it.
At the end of the evening when everything was starting to die down and everybody was preparing to leave, Sasuke along with Itachi and Naruto stood by the front door with the Uchiha sending them off.
"Don't be a stranger. You're welcome back at any time, especially Naruto. It was lovely to meet you and I really do hope to see you again later. I will definitely come to drop by your restaurant soon." Mikoto said with a smile before hugging the three men tightly. Naruto said his goodbyes to his future mother-in-law and hugged her again enthusiastically portraying his eagerness to see her again. He then turned to Obito, Madara and Tobi and exchanged numbers so that they could hang out again sometime soon. When it came to saying good bye to Fugaku, he stiffly let out a "Bye" and bowed down to the displeasured face of the head Uchiha.
They left the house walking to their separate cars, giving their own goodbyes. Naruto let out an extremely happy smile, cuddling up Sasuke in thanks every few steps. "Seriously, thank you for doing this. I will do absolutely anything you want for the next few days. Starting now. By the way, you should also meet my parents too."
"Anything I want? Okay, first thing, step away you're going to make me fall. And no thank you, I don't need to meet your parents."
"What? Why not? I've met yours."
"Exactly! "
"I don't get it."
"Naruto, think about it. Why would I want to go through this again so quickly? It's going to be even worse because I'll be the centre of attention. But don't worry, I'll meet them eventually. Roughly after a year together, I'll meet them then if that still desperate for me to."
"Six more months?! That's too long."
"Please, for the peace of my mind, wait until then."
"Whatever, I'm in too good of a mood to think about it much."
"Good. I'm too tired right now. Drop me off home, I need to sleep."
"You're not coming back to mine?"
"No, I have something important to do tomorrow at work. If I stay at yours, I won't get to sleep until late."
Naruto didn't argue because he knew it to be true so he drove Sasuke home with no complaints. Once he got there, he managed to make Sasuke dawdle for a few minutes to kiss goodbye before Sasuke left.
