A/N: Welcome to the new chapter! I feel like The Pride of A Clan will be my longest story, I really enjoy writing it! Thank you so much for your reviews and support, it means a lot! Please enjoy this chapter!
Naruto opened his eyes slowly. He blinked several times to adjust to the light of the room and then let out a relaxed sigh. Gulping away the dryness in his throat, he cuddled closer to the naked chest below his head. He was motionless for a while, then opening his eyes again, he sat up. Rubbing his heavy eyes with his fists, he looked around.
The first thing he realized was the sun through the window. It was up in the air, it was already noon. Did they sleep that long? Naruto looked down and blushed brightly as he saw his stark naked husband sleeping silently.
Naruto closed his eyes tightly. Last night had been dark as Naruto requested so he could feel more comfortable with their newly developing intimacy. But now… Naruto opened his eyes and took in the scenery before him. Now, Naruto was more comfortable. They had done every single thing Naruto was embarrassed about, so there was no reason not to enjoy his husband's perfectness.
His body was pale all over. He wasn't overly muscled which Naruto liked. Biting his lips, Naruto put his hand against his husband's stomach. It was flat and hard. Careful to not wake Sasuke up, Naruto leaned down and rubbed his cheek against the abs he found there. Kissing the belly button, Naruto gave his attention to his chest.
Frowning, Naruto looked down to his own chest. His nipples were an angry red and swollen and also there were bite marks around them. Stupid Sasuke, he couldn't keep his hands and lips off of them. Naruto touched his nipples softly and gasped. They were extremely sensitive.
Wondering what was so special about them, Naruto leaned down and kissed one of the dusky nipples of his husband. He blinked. It didn't feel any different. Blushing as he remembered how his husband liked sucking on them, Naruto leaned over again and wrapped his lips around the bud. He let his tongue touch the smooth skin and then sucked gently. He sat up immediately as soon as he felt Sasuke stirring.
His hair was creating a perfect contrast to the white sheets and his eyelashes against his milky skin was so beautiful that Naruto forgot his momentarily embarrassment and leaned over to kiss Sasuke's lips.
He was so happy. There was a flutter in his stomach. It was like he was falling for Sasuke all over again. He loved his husband so much that he couldn't believe it. There had been times when Naruto couldn't bear his love. Sometimes it was too much and last night, he had shared it. He had shared his love with Sasuke and now he felt more love. It was such a joy.
Letting out a contented sigh, Naruto looked over his husband's body once again and his eyes stopped at his pelvis. He looked down to his own penis and then to Sasuke's again. Last night, one of the things Sasuke enjoyed tasting was Naruto's cock and essence.
Curiously, Naruto lied down over his stomach and leveled his gaze with Sasuke's crotch. Checking out his husband's sleeping face, Naruto neared his face to his pelvis. Without hesitation, he buried his nose at the base of Sasuke's cock, where it nested among soft, black hair. Naruto took a deep breath and closed his eyes. It was musky. This was Sasuke's pure scent.
Gently, Naruto grabbed a hold of his husband's manhood, holding it in his hand awkwardly. It was half hard, which surprised Naruto. He squeezed the smooth flesh softly and frowned as the skin slid down under his fingers to reveal a mushroom head.
Raising his eyebrows, Naruto looked down to his own penis and touched it. Just like Sasuke's, he could hide the head and then unravel it with the thin skin around it. Smiling at his new discovery, Naruto leaned over again and wrapped his lips around the head of Sasuke's cock. It was warm and smooth. Naruto gave an experimental suck and liked the sensation.
With his other hand, he touched the sack and held the balls in his palm gently. It was both soft and hard. So, babies lived here before coming to mommy, right? Naruto giggled at his own silliness. He kissed Sasuke's inner thigh and focused his attention on the length he was holding.
His eyes widened as he realized that the flesh he was holding had gotten bigger than he could imagine. The skin he was playing with was gone, leaving an angry red, fully aroused dick behind. Naruto touched the visible veins around it gently and then gave it a tentative lick. It looked like it was hurting, Naruto wanted to soothe it somehow.
Raising over his knees, Naruto held his husband's manhood with both hands. Leaning down, he took the head in his mouth again and started sucking with closed eyes. He had discovered his husband's body to his heart's content, now he wanted to taste his essence.
He sucked and licked. One time, he tried to fit as much as he could in his mouth and he could only reach halfway. He panted harshly, it looked like he couldn't get it all. He leaned down again and touched the little, black hole over the head of the penis. He probed it with his tongue and sucked before looking at it again. He gasped happily as a drop of clear liquid appeared. He didn't lose anytime to suck the bead of pre-cum, but it didn't quench his curiosity just yet. He moved his hands up and down and started watching for more cream.
And he had more. Suddenly, the cock shivered and then Naruto got he wanted, it spurt out in long waves. He looked up when he heard a groan and met with his husband's intense stare.
"Shit," Sasuke cursed under his breath.
What Naruto didn't know was that Sasuke had been awake the moment Naruto moved beside him. He had pretended to be sleep so that Naruto could do a discovery of his body on his own. And he had done more than Sasuke could have imagined. And now, he had Sasuke's cum all over his face and he looked so innocently confused that Sasuke sat up in a bolt and maneuvered his wife into his lap.
"What were you doing, baby?" Sasuke asked heatedly as he buried his hands in his wife's shiny locks.
Naruto blushed deeply. "Ughh, I just wanted to taste you."
Sasuke's eyes darkened. He licked Naruto's cheek, gathering his quickly getting cold cum on his tongue and kissed his wife deeply.
"How is that?" He asked as he kept licking Naruto's face clean.
Naruto smacked his lips after sucking his husband's tongue. "A bit bitter."
"But yours is so sweet," Sasuke smirked.
Naruto flushed a bright red. "Pervert Sasuke."
"Yeah?" Sasuke smirked widen and grabbed both of their cocks, stroking them quickly.
"S-Stop," Naruto moaned. "Didn't you have enough?"
"No," Sasuke replied easily as his free hand grabbed a plump ass cheek and squeezed it. "It's your fault. You should take responsibility."
"How s-so?" Naruto mewled as fingers entered him, preparing him for what's to come.
"I've been watching you," Sasuke whispered as he grabbed Naruto's hips and then lowered him down over his erection. "Touching you… But not having you have been a torture."
"I'm sorry," Naruto whimpered as his husband filled him. "I'm sorry," He repeated again as he wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck tightly.
"No," Sasuke kissed Naruto's ear and wrapped his arms around his small body tightly. "It was worth everything. You became mine willingly… You made me so happy, love, do not ever doubt it."
Naruto nodded against Sasuke's neck and gasped as his husband started moving him up and down.
When they made love, Naruto couldn't hold back the sounds that escaped his lips. But, to Sasuke… Naruto looked at his husband's face as he panted. He had a keen concentration on his face, eyebrows drawn together. He was watching Naruto with such intense eyes that Naruto couldn't help but shudder in delight.
Naruto touched his husband's lips and shivered as Sasuke sucked his thin fingers in his mouth. Panting, Naruto took his slick fingers back and then sucked them himself, tasting his husband. Sasuke grabbed a hold of Naruto's hair and crushed their lips together. He swallowed his wife's completion moan and emptied himself in him, painting his womb once again.
Naruto held onto Sasuke tightly as he panted. "I-I love you."
"Love you, too," Sasuke replied, kissing his brow.
Last night Sasuke had realized, it didn't matter how much he showed Naruto he loved him. For months, their relationship had lacked the intimacy it needed and they had showed their affection through words alone. And even now, when they were sharing the thing that was intimate the most, Naruto still needed to hear Sasuke's love for him. And it wasn't a problem, Sasuke would declare it over and over again for his wife.
"Let's take a shower," Sasuke said and stood up.
Naruto gasped and held onto his husband. "Put me down."
"Yeah, yeah," Sasuke chuckled and moved to the private bathroom of their room.
"Wait!" Naruto cried and wriggled down, standing over the bed.
"What?" Sasuke looked at his wife and then to the place he pointed on the bed. He frowned as he saw two droplets of blood on the white sheets. Sasuke gritted his teeth. "I asked you if I hurt you."
"And I told you didn't," Naruto replied quickly, not wanting his husband to feel bad about it. "It's normal, natural. It happened and I didn't hurt, okay?"
Letting out a deep sigh, Sasuke nodded.
"We can't let people see this," Naruto said as he took off the sheets. "We need to clean it."
"You can't get rid of blood stains," Sasuke said as they walked to the bathroom.
Naruto sighed. "What's your suggestion?"
"Burn it," Sasuke shrugged.
"You can't burn a cloth!" Naruto cried. "We could set the whole house on fire."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. He looked through the drawers under the sink and found a pair of scissors. Quickly, he cut the sheet in half and then cut it into small pieces. He took the bloodied part and threw it the sink. With a finger, he lit up the sheet easily.
"Wow," Naruto watched with wide eyes. "How did you do it?"
Sasuke shrugged as he took his wife under his arm. "Lightning."
"Cool," Naruto commented as they watched the cloth burning.
After the evidence was gone, Sasuke opened the water and extinguished the fire easily.
"There," He gathered the cut sheets and stuffed the trash can with them. "No one will know."
Naruto nodded and walked to the shower as his husband nudged him gently. He closed his eyes and let Sasuke take care of him.
He felt relaxed. They weren't lying anymore. They were together as it was supposed to be and the rest was destiny. Whatever the future brought, Naruto was going to embrace it wholeheartedly. He was going to keep facing each new day with Sasuke by his side.
They left the shower after Naruto managed to dodge Sasuke's wandering hands and they walked to the dining room hand in hand for the lunch.
Sasuke felt so relaxed. The silent tension had left his body, leaving his mind and heart clear. When they were together, Sasuke didn't feel like he was realizing his duty. No. He was together with his wife and they had made love. It was the point there, showing their love to each other.
Sasuke blinked as he realized that never once he thought of getting Naruto pregnant. All he wanted was to have Naruto close and please him. That was strange because when he was with his ex-wife all he thought was to get a child. He didn't even kiss her once.
Sasuke frowned. What was he doing? Comparing his shitty old life to the paradise Naruto gave him?
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked as he saw his husband's angry face.
"Nothing," Sasuke shook his head free of needless thoughts and squeezed Naruto's hand. "I'm a bit hungry."
"Me too!" Naruto smiled. "I hope they prepared some mezzes."
"I liked that green-white one you made me try at the feast," Sasuke commented as they entered the room.
"Yes, that's also my favorite!" Naruto beamed. "Ah," Naruto smiled as he saw his parents already seated at the table. "Good morning!"
Kushina wriggled her eyebrows. It looked like she could hardly holding back a laughter. "Good morning."
"Morning," Minato mumbled, facing away with a bright flush.
Sasuke watched his in-laws with a confused expression and mumbling a good morning himself, he sat down beside his wife across from them.
There was an awkward silence so Naruto decided to make some small talk.
"Last night was really good, yeah?" He smiled.
"Yes," Kushina smiled widely, her eyes twinkling. "It was really good."
Minato started coughing, whatever he was eating stuck in his throat.
"Something wrong?" Naruto asked, genuinely confused.
"No," Kushina replied, snickering. "It's just… We happened to pass by your room last night and we might have heard some stuff."
Naruto's eyes widened and he started coughing loudly.
Sasuke patted his wife's back as Kushina laughed, Minato still facing away, clearly embarrassed.
"It's good," Kushina smiled. "It makes us happy to know that you two are so in love! Right, Minato?"
"Y-Yeah," Minato nodded, looking down.
"Thanks," Sasuke mumbled. "I guess."
"Yes!" Kushina beamed. "Let's eat now!"
"Drink," Sasuke silently urged Naruto as he pressed a glass of water against his lips.
Naruto drank the cold water slowly. He felt calmer now, but there was no way for him to forget this situation ever.
"There is a hearing today," Kushina said after the lunch. "Naruto, you join me."
Naruto nodded. "Yes, my Lady."
"Sasuke-kun, you join me," Minato smiled after getting over his embarrassment. "We will patrol the area and I'll share out the missions."
"Yes, my Lord," Sasuke bowed his head.
"Great," Kushina smiled and left the room with Minato.
"What's a hearing?" Sasuke asked Naruto as they lingered behind for a little more.
"Once in a while the Lady or the Lord accepts the villagers. They listen to their problems and try to solve them," Naruto explained with a smile.
"That's really good," Sasuke nodded.
He liked Whirlpool more and more each passing day. It was so different than the village he was born in. He was so at ease here. Everybody welcomed him like he was their own and he didn't want to let it go. But then again, it was his home also. This was where he was going to live in the future. The thought made him happy.
"Yes," Naruto smiled.
Smiling back, Sasuke leaned down and kissed his wife. "I'll see you later."
Naruto bushed in joy. "See you."
After seeing Sasuke off, Naruto joined his mother in the big hall which was used for such occasions. Kushina was sitting on a comfortable looking chair and Naruto sat down on a cushion on the floor beside his mother. The same cushions were placed across from them for the villagers.
"Let's start," Kushina announced and the ninja that was waiting at the double doors nodded.
As soon as the doors were opened, two angry looking villagers stormed inside.
"My Lady!" The shorter one shouted. "I want justice!"
"Me too!" The taller and the fatter one exclaimed.
"Silence!" Kushina shouted, her voice echoing in the room.
The villagers silenced immediately and bowed down. Their Lady's short temper was legendary.
"Now," Kushina smiled and pointed the cushions. "Please sit down."
Bowing down once again, the villagers sat down, facing the Lady and the future Lord.
"So," Kushina started. "What's the problem?"
They started talking at once and Naruto winced at their loud voices.
"One by one!" Kushina shouted and pointed to the short villager. "You go first."
The man bowed before speaking. "There is a small river in my field. I water my crop with it and this man wants a share of it!"
Kushina nodded and turned to the other man. "What would you like to say?"
"My Lady," The man bowed down. "I own the neighboring field and I also have stuff to grow. My whole crop is fading! Just because the river is in his field doesn't mean it belongs to him, right?"
"Of course it does!" The other villager roared.
"Enough!" Kushina frowned and turned to her son. "Naruto, I'll leave the decision to you."
Naruto nodded as he thought for a while. The answer was actually very clear to him from the start. "The river doesn't belong to you."
The villager opened his mouth to argue but Naruto stopped him by raising a hand.
"Just because it happened to be flowing in your field doesn't make it yours," Naruto explained with a raised eyebrow. "You are both Uzumaki. You are brothers. How can you be okay with knowing your brother's gaining nothing?"
The man looked down.
"What are you going to do when his whole field dries?" Naruto pressed on. "Will you be victorious? Will you gain all the money at the market? What of his family? Will you be able to eat when they go to bed hungry?"
The man blushed in shame, not having the heart to reply to any of Naruto's questions.
"We will appoint a few ninjas to you and they will make a new canal," Naruto explained. "That way, you both will benefit from the river. Is that okay?"
They both nodded.
"Then that's my decision," Naruto gave a nod. "My Lady?"
Kushina smiled, pleased with her son. "I support my son's decision and I hope you won't have any more problems in the future."
"Thank you so much," The tall man ran to Naruto and tried to kiss his hand.
"No, no," Naruto shook his hands quickly. "I thank you for coming to us with your problem."
"You did well," Kushina praised his son after the villagers left.
"Thank you," Naruto smiled, wondering what his husband was going.
"Let's change into proper gear," Minato suggested with a smile.
"Yes, father," Sasuke nodded.
"I'll meet you at the gates," Minato said and walked to his quarters as Sasuke went to his own room.
He was quick with changing into more comfortable clothing, suitable for the patrol. After getting his sword, Sasuke left quickly, not wanting to keep Minato waiting.
He found the Lord waiting at the gates with a few other ninja around him.
"Let's head out," Minato ordered and they all walked out of the village.
The nature was beautiful. Different kind of trees surrounded the village and flowers Sasuke had never seen before shined under the bright sun. Animals seemed to love the village people. They weren't afraid of humans and they did nothing to cover. Baby animals were everywhere, proving the rumor of Whirlpool being sacred to Sasuke's eyes.
"A messenger," A ninja mumbled and Sasuke turned to where he was looking at.
A small, red fox was watching them among the bushes. His fur was shining under the sun, drawing attention easily. The animal didn't have any intention of running away. His deep red eyes were focused on Sasuke and Sasuke's eyes widened as he looked back as if mesmerized. For how long they stared at each other, Sasuke didn't know. But the contact broke as the fox went back to his way.
"There will be good news soon," Another ninja commented happily.
The Uzumaki clan was under the protection of Inari, the god of fields and abundance. The foxes were his messenger, so whenever a fox made contact with them, they knew something good was going to happen.
Sasuke was silent for a while. He didn't know why, but he felt like the fox had touched his mind in a strange way. He couldn't help but believe the other ninjas then. Good news were on the way.
"So, Sasuke-kun," Minato ruined the silence after a while. The ninjas had shattered around and Sasuke and Minato were walking lazily side by side. "Do you like the village?"
"I really do," Sasuke nodded. "It's really different from what I'm used to. I'm both surprised and happy to be honest."
Minato laughed softly. "I was just like you when I came here first."
Sasuke raised his eyebrows in surprise. "You weren't born in Whirlpool?"
"Ah, no," Minato chuckled. "You must know that I'm not an Uzumaki by blood," He said as he touched his hair.
"Yes, I do," Sasuke nodded. "But I thought you were from another clan."
Minato shrugged with a smile. "I was no one when I came here. I can't remember clearly. All I know is war, fire and then I was running and I somehow ended up here with no memory of the past."
Sasuke nodded silently, listening to his father-in-law closely.
"I was just an orphan kid, so the Lady and the Lord, Naruto's grandparents, took me under their care," Minato explained slowly. "They treated me like their own son. They sent me to the academy, they gave me the best masters and I became a good ninja. The village named me Yellow Flash."
"Everybody knows of your fame," Sasuke commented with a soft smile.
"Yeah," Minato blushed softly. "Afterwards, the Lord gave me the mission of being his only daughter's bodyguard."
"Ah," Sasuke smiled slowly. "Let me guess; you saved mother from some enemies and you two ended up falling in love."
Minato laughed. "It's true that she was cornered by enemies. But before I could help her, she already had beaten them up."
Sasuke laughed with the Lord. It was really amusing to imagine.
"So I was the one who ended up falling in love," Minato smiled softly, remembering the past. "She was so beautiful and strong, just like the demon fox itself."
Sasuke nodded slowly, his Naruto was just like that as well. In some ways, Sasuke thought that Naruto was like his mother but in some, he was the exact replica of his father.
"I don't know how it happened," Minato kept on, "But she also fell for me at some point. But the worst part was to talk to the Lord about this. Think, he entrusts his daughter to you and then you go to him and ask for his permission to marry her."
Sasuke winced. "That must have been hard."
"It was," Minato nodded. "But like a miracle, they supported us and our love."
"That's really good," Sasuke said quietly. "That would be impossible in Leaf."
Minato nodded. "I know. Leaf village is like white and black."
Sasuke nodded wordlessly.
"So, we got married and took over after the Lord and Lady," Minato said and then smiled warmly. "And we had our Naruto."
Sasuke smiled. Hearing about his wife's parents' life was making him happy for some strange reason.
"You know, he's our only child," Minato said and Sasuke nodded. "The Gods didn't give us any more children but Naruto has always been enough. And now, we have you too," Minato patted Sasuke's back with a smile.
Sasuke smiled back, happy to be accepted by his wife's family.
"Because Naruto's our only one, we couldn't keep a balance I guess," Minato admitted softly. "Not just Kushina and I, but the elders and the whole village coddled him. We didn't let him leave the village. We didn't let him face the real world. We didn't give him a chance to learn how to gain his life. I think I'm the one to be blamed the most about this."
"No, father," Sasuke wanted to reassure the Lord. "Naruto's doing really good."
Minato smiled softly. "You see, Naruto's really pure. He doesn't think of things having a dark side. He thinks everybody has a beautiful heart just like him. Tell him something and he will believe you."
Biting his lips, Sasuke nodded. It also explained why Naruto was so willing to forget about Sakura's wrongdoings and accept her in his life.
"The reason why I told you all about this is simple," Minato smiled. "You are now my son's husband. You are the one closest to him. Maybe it will be a heavy burden, but now it's your duty to protect Naruto. And I want you to teach him. Show him that the world is not as beautiful as he sees it."
"But, father," Sasuke faced the Lord. "I wouldn't want to break Naruto's heart. He's this way. He's happy. He's full of life. I don't want any ugliness touching him."
Minato started laughing suddenly, confusing Sasuke.
"You've already caught the illness!" Minato said with a smile.
"What illness?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"The Uzumaki illness," Minato whispered. "They capture you and you become their slave for the rest of your life!"
"Oh," Sasuke chuckled. "I think I'm already beyond salvation."
Minato laughed loudly, patting Sasuke's back.
"I'll give you my word to protect him though," Sasuke smiled. "When he hurts, I hurt too."
Minato smiled. "I'm happy. You have proved to be a good man and husband and that's all an old man like me could ask for."
Sasuke chuckled. "You are not old father."
"Yeah, yeah," Minato smiled. "Let's go back and I'll show you how I plan the missions and assign our ninjas."
"Yes," Sasuke bowed his head slightly and they started talking about a different subject as they walked back.
"How was your day?" Sasuke asked once they were back in their room at night.
"Tiring," Naruto moaned as he threw himself over the soft bed. "My Lady made me make the decisions. My head hurts. I'm not even sure if I was just enough for such decisions."
"I'm sure you were," Sasuke reassured as he lied down beside his wife. Tangling a hand in his unruly hair, he messaged his scalp.
"What about you?" Naruto asked as he faced his husband. "What did you do all day?"
Sasuke smirked. "If I should be honest, I had fun."
"Why?" Naruto cried. "It's no fair! You left your wife to his suffering!"
Sasuke chuckled. "How could I not notice? My Naruto senses were tingling!"
"Pfft," Naruto laughed as he punched Sasuke's arm playfully. "But I'm glad that you are having a good time here."
Sasuke gathered his wife in his arms and held him tightly.
"It's not just about having a good time," Sasuke murmured as he nuzzled Naruto's hair. "I feel so at ease, I've never felt like this in my own village. I just... I don't feel like returning. How did you leave here and came to the Leaf is beyond me to be honest."
Naruto cuddled closer to his husband as he wrapped an arm around Sasuke's waist and Sasuke placed his thigh between Naruto's legs.
"You see, everywhere is different," Naruto started softly, caressing Sasuke's back soothingly. "I came to the Leaf because it was my duty, but beyond that, I wanted to see your village, I wanted to see you... Now you know why I have been trying so hard in Konoha, I wanted to make a home there, with you. It's hard, our villages are so different, but I guess I got used to it. Because before the village, it's all about you. You are my home, my place is right beside you."
Sasuke kissed his wife's forehead and held him tighter.
"It's already been decided that onii-sama and Shisui-sama will take after the Uchiha," Naruto caressed Sasuke's hair gently. "When the time comes, you and I will move back here. But there are still so many things in Konoha we need to make right. So, help me, okay? When Leaf feels like a second home, we will come to our home here, alright?"
"Yeah," Sasuke nodded with closed eyes.
"Don't get distressed about anything," Naruto whispered as he felt his husband falling asleep in his arms. "Everything will be fine, trust me."
Sasuke gave a faint nod before falling asleep in his wife's warm embrace.
Naruto and Sasuke stayed in the Whirlpool village for three months.
They spent the whole time together. They rediscovered each other and their relationship. Now they were stronger than they had ever been. With Naruto's help, Sasuke became a Whirlpool citizen easily. He learned the customs and the habits of the people whom he came to love as a big family.
With Kushina and Minato's guidance, they learned the politics and the system of the village. When it was necessary, they were ready to take over. Of course they had much more way to go, but their parents promised to be with them the whole time.
"Farewells are always the hardest," Kushina commented sadly as they stood at the main gates, ready to see Naruto and Sasuke off.
"This is not a farewell," Sasuke smiled. "We will be back before you know it."
"Yes," Minato smiled as he hugged Sasuke. "Don't make us wait for long this time."
"We will visit soon," Naruto smiled as he hugged his mother. "Don't be upset."
"Okay," Kushina nodded, caressing Naruto's hair. "Be good, okay?"
"Yes, mom," Naruto smiled and walked to his father. "You won't even have time to miss us!"
"Good," Minato hugged his son tightly. "Take care of each other, okay?"
"Okay," Naruto nodded.
"Don't forget your promise," Minato said to Sasuke with a smile.
"Don't worry, father," Sasuke smiled. "You have my word."
Minato gave a nod as they waited for Naruto as he said his farewells to his friends.
Naruto waved enthusiastically as he climbed the small stairs of the awaiting carriage. Sasuke was right behind him and he didn't know how, but suddenly he was in Sasuke's arms, his vision darkening at the corners of his eyes.
"Hey, hey," Sasuke caught his wife easily in his arms. Naruto was blinking quickly but his eyes couldn't focus. "Naruto," Sasuke slapped his wife's cheek gently. "Love, look at me."
"Is he alright?" A frantic Minato and Kushina ran to their side.
"Naruto," Sasuke whispered and kissed his ear gently. "You hear me, right?"
Naruto nodded slowly and then steadied his gaze on his husband's handsome face. "I'm fine," He whispered.
"What happened?" Kushina asked as Sasuke helped Naruto to his feet.
"I got dizzy suddenly," Naruto smiled softly. "Don't worry."
"Are you sure?" Minato touched his son's forehead, checking for a fever. "We can turn back and get you examined."
"No, no," Naruto waved a hand with a big smile. "It must be the sun."
Kushina sighed. "Alright, drink more water, okay?"
"Yes," Naruto smiled and after their second farewells, they settled in the carriage and took off.
"Are you sure you are fine?" Sasuke asked, worry written all over his face.
Naruto smiled and hugged his husband. "My husband is the best. I love you."
Sasuke was speechless for a moment then he looked away, watching the trees out of the window.
He was mumbling something about Naruto's carelessness and dismissiveness but Naruto heard a small love you too between the lines.
Smiling, Naruto glued himself to Sasuke's side and closed his eyes.
If there was such thing as happiness, it could be found right here, between two hearts and a fastly growing one.
I really liked this chapter for some reason. I hope you did as well! Thanks for reading, see you next week!
