Day 29 Wednesday Mar 25
Naruto sighed happily as he laid in the hammock in the back yard. He and Sasuke had been given the day off mostly because Neji was coming to the office and Itachi didn't want Sasuke around for that and Naruto was home because everyone knew if Naruto was at the office Sasuke would throw a fit. Naruto stretched a bit so that his back would pop before closing his eyes and relaxing again. He heard the back door open and then feet crunching the gravel path they had from the back porch to the hammock.
"If you just wanted to sleep all day we could have stayed in bed." Sasuke sighed. Naruto opened his eyes to look at his lover.
"It would definitely be a bad idea to stay in bed all day with you." Naruto smiled. Sasuke sighed.
"Move over." Sasuke said as he climbed onto the hammock next to Naruto. They laid there for a few minutes in silence. "What are we going to do today?"
"I don't know, what do you want to do today?" Naruto asked looking up at the sky. "It's a really nice day. Let's go to the park."
"You want to? I'll take you." Sasuke said. Naruto smiled and kissed Sasuke gently.
"Thanks Sas." Naruto said. Sasuke relaxed in the hammock.
"How about we go in like an hour?" Sasuke yawned.
"Sounds good." Naruto smiled and curled into Sasuke's side. They didn't know how long they slept on the hammock but once it was the afternoon it started getting hotter and it woke them. "Can we go to the park now?" Naruto asked.
"Sure." Sasuke yawned as he got out of the hammock and then helped Naruto out as well. They changed into something cooler and walked down the street to the nearby park.
"Boss!" Konohamaru shouted excitedly. Konohamaru was a five year old kid that lived in the neighborhood that Naruto plays with on his days off.
"Hey, kiddo." Naruto smiled ruffling Konohamaru's hair.
"You wanna play on the jungle gym?" Konohamaru asked.
"Sure let's go." Naruto smiled and Konohamaru ran off towards the large wooden jungle gym. "You wanna come?" Naruto smiled at Sasuke.
"No, you go. I'll wait here." Sasuke said pointing to a bench nearby. Naruto smiled and waved as he ran off. Sasuke sighed as he watched Naruto playing with Konohamaru. Naruto really was good with kids. A few more of the neighborhood boys joined in on their game of pirates, or cowboys or whatever they were playing.
"Oh, you shot me." Naruto groaned dramatically as he clenched his chest and stumbled backwards.
"I killed you!" Konohamaru cheered.
"Oh. I'm dying." Naruto moaned and fell onto the ground. All the boys ran over to him and stared down at him.
"Naruto? Are you dead for real?" Udon asked.
"Bah!" Naruto shouted and all the boys screamed and jumped about three feet into the air. Naruto laughed. "Scared you." Naruto smiled.
"That was mean, Boss." Konohamaru pouted.
"I'm sorry, guys." Naruto smiled.
"It's okay. What can we do now?" Udon asked. Naruto looked over into the soccer field to see that the men practicing had left.
"Let's go play freeze tag." Naruto said. The boys cheered. "Okay, I'm it!" Naruto announced as they all ran into the field. They played for a few hours before the boys' families came to find them.
"Thanks for all your help, Naruto. Konohamaru always has so much fun with you." Asuma, Konohamaru's uncle, smiled as he pat Naruto's back.
"No problem, Asuma-san. Konohamaru is a great kid and I love running around with him." Naruto smiled.
"Well thanks for taking care of them." Asuma smiled as Konohamaru came running up to them.
"Can we go home now Uncle Asuma?" Konohamaru asked.
"Sure thing." Asuma smiled and picked up his nephew.
"See you later, Boss." Konohamaru smiled and waved as he was carried away. Once all the boys had been picked up Sasuke went and wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist and leaned on him.
"You wanna go grab some ramen before we go home?" Sasuke asked. Naruto's eyes lit up as he nodded.
"Please." Naruto smiled. Sasuke took Naruto's hand and they walked to Ichiraku's. After ramen they went back home so Naruto could take a shower. Sasuke laid down on the bed and sighed. He felt exhausted all of a sudden and started to fall asleep. Just before he fell asleep he felt warm lips press against his. "Night, Sasuke. I love you." Naruto whispered softly before Sasuke fell asleep.
