Ever After

Chapter XX

Summary: Ever after is usually found in a fairy tale and rarely at the heart.

I have no real excuse, so I'm sorry for not updating in...months! OMG, you guys are probably pissed...Sorry about that. So...Um, yeah well its my last year of High school, but unlike regular seniors when your in the IB program there is no...um, senior awesomeness time, it appears.

Few changes I want to mention. From now on Sasuke will be known as 'papa' while Naruto will be referred to as 'Daddy'.

Yue grabbed the two different dresses from her closet as she decided which one to pick. She had the perfect flats that matched with the pink dress that her grandmother had bought her a few weeks ago. Then again she had the perfect accessories that will go perfect with the yellow dress. Grr! Today she was going to be going to a concert with her daddy and she needed to look perfect. She raced down, still in her pj's, and asked the opinion of her papa and her grandmother.

"Papa! Grandma! I need to know which is better. This one or this one?" Yue asked.

"Calm down Yue-chan," Sasuke said.

"Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down? Daddy will be here in only a few hours and I still haven't decided what to wear or how to do my hair or what shoes to wear! I mean if I wear the pink one then I know which shoes but then what accessories should I wear that will match? But then I have the perfect accessories for the yellow dress but then I have no idea what shoes I should wear!" Yue ranted.

Mikoto giggled at her granddaughter, "Wear the yellow one dear. I remember you having a pair of nice white flats that will match heavenly."

Yue smiled and raced up to her room after yelling her 'thank-you's'. Mikoto smiled while Sasuke sighed. He never really understood what the big deal was with women and being absolutely perfect.

"Don't give me that look Sasuke. I remember when you were dating Naruto you suddenly developed a horrible case of narcissism," Mikoto said with playful mirth.

"What? No I didn't," Sasuke protested.

Mikoto picked up her tea that rested on the coffee table and said, "Before you met Naruto I admit that you didn't care what you looked like, though this might just be my motherly self being biased, but you and Itachi were more beautiful than most therefore didn't need to worry what you wore. Anything you put on looked good on you," Sasuke blushed at his mothers comment. "But the moment you laid eyes on Naruto, you spent hours in front of a mirror and constantly making sure you looked alright...then there was that week you dressed in different styles trying to get his attention because he wasn't paying attention to you."

"I know it sounds cheesy but I fell for him almost immediately. I never had to work for attention it was always there. Naruto though...he was difficult because he lived in his own little world." Sasuke replied.

"Well all I'm saying is that you could sympathize with your daughter for wanting to look her best," Mikoto said.

"I suppose..." Sasuke murmurer.

"What is it?" Mikoto asked as she set her tea cup down.

"I'm glad that Naruto is making an effort to get the girls to be friends and all, really I am. I met Yoruki once and I swear that her and Naruto are very similar. But..." Sasuke answered.

"Yes?" Mikoto pressed.

"It just makes me wonder about Sora," Sasuke turned his gaze towards the the pictures and gazed on the picture of his son. Guilt settled into his stomach as he was reminded that his most recent picture he had of him was their last vacation when they twins had barely turned five. His son was ten now...

"Well maybe Naruto shouldn't be the only making the effort," Mikoto suggested.

"I know mom, but I don't know how to approach it. You weren't there at the dinner...he hates me," Sasuke whispered.

"Talk to Naruto. Find out what Sora's current interest are. Naruto's taking Yue and Yoruki to a concert because they all love music. He's making connections with them and getting them to get along. And maybe that's the key. Have the kids reunite first, then get together as a family," Mikoto said.

"I'll try that. I just really want us back as a family." Sasuke replied.

Yoruki sat on a chair in the living room of the Namikaze household while her grandmother Kushina did her hair in a half ponytail. While Yoruki smiled contently at the treatment Sora leaned back on the couch with his arms crossed.

"I don't see why your so happy to be going," Sora commented.

"Well I don't see your reason for not understanding. What I also don't understand his why your refused daddy's invitation," Yoruki replied.

"Because I have no intention in making dad's plan easy...not on this," Sora said curtly.

"What's that supposed to mean Sora dear?" Kushina asked.

"I'm not stupid grandma, I know what dad's trying to do. Neji-sensei and him aren't together anymore. Its obvious he's trying to reunite our family...And I'm not liking it," Sora replied.

"Don't say that Sora-nii," Yoruki said.

"Its true! After everything that's happened they think that we'll accept them back so easily, well it'll take more than a guilt trip to even begin to think of forgiving them! I can't believe you guys are so easily willing to accept them back!" Sora cried.

"Sora-nii, daddy loves his family. It's hurting him not being with them, and they miss him...and you." Yoruki said.

"If they loved him so much then why did they hurt him in the first place? Yoruki-chan you weren't there but grandma you know that it wasn't just some random argument that caused all this. It was years! Years of different feelings and horrible actions that drove us away! Why am I the only one who hasn't forgotten that?" Sora demanded as he stood up abruptly.

Both Yoruki and Kushina were silent, but instead of looking at Sora they were looking passed him towards the living room entrance.

"Dad..."

Mikoto had offered to help Yue get ready by helping her with her hair and such. Yue decided to let her hair down and use a simple yellow headband. Right now Yue was sitting in front of her mirror while her grandmother brushed her hair into place.

"You'll look like a princess when we're done Yue honey." Mikoto said.

"I hope so. I want things to get better...I want daddy and papa to be together again. I mean I was seriously happy when they went out the other night. Papa couldn't stop smiling and I haven't seen him smile like that in a long time. And that kiss was just so romantic!" Yue cried.

"I know! It reminded me of their teenage days..." Mikoto said nostalgic.

"What were they like?" Yue asked serious yet curiously.

"Wow...those two...Well, let me start by saying that it was very entertaining watching Sasuke obtained your fathers attention. Once he did though it was very sweet. Naruto was very conservative and Sasuke felt...like he was given a special place in the world, and he was. Naruto wasn't anymore social than Sasuke but that was for...uh, different reasons, your papa just didn't like socializing with other people because he found them annoying," Mikoto explained.

"Why was daddy like that? What happened to him that made him like that? I mean when it came to him and papa I could always tell their personalities were very different but there were times when daddy was grandpa Fugaku's level of scary when someone at the office screws up. It wasn't that he was scary, but he gave off a level of power that screamed 'fear me'," Yue said.

"That's something you'll have to ask your parents someday...but not someday soon," Mikoto said, "Anyway, Naruto would rarely talk to someone that wasn't his family or Sasuke. He just didn't need anyone else, being with Sasuke just made him happy and it gave Sasuke a new feeling."

"What kind of new feeling?" Yue asked.

"Sasuke came from a very wealthy family. He was given anything he asked for without much hesitation. He's very intelligent so he had looks, money, and brains. He never had anything to aspire to. If anything he'd just get married for the sake of being married, if even. But once he was with Naruto, every smile, every chuckle, every thing he did that made Naruto happy gave Sasuke the satisfaction of accomplishment. Which added a lot to his character that I'm very grateful to and happy about," Mikoto answered.

Yue turned around and stared at her grandmother, "What should I do about Yoruki?"

"Well there isn't much to do sweetie but accept her and love her as much as you can. She's apart of our family now and your father cares for her. If anything I'm willing to bet you two have a lot in common," Mikoto said with a smile.

"You think so?" Yue asked.

"Of course. For one your both going to a classical music concert with your father because you all have a love for music," Mikoto replied.

"I guess that's true. She also likes to paint and draw so maybe we can have art as a common interest too," Yue suggested.

"See? That's the spirit," Mikoto said. "Now, lets get you all jazzed up. Naruto and Yoruki will be here soon."

Hours later Yue returned and retold every bit of detail from her night with Yoruki and Naruto. She was over ecstatic about how the night turned out. The concert was heavenly and afterward Naruto had taken them out to dinner which was, quote on quote, really fun. Sasuke smiled and laughed along with Yue as she retold how Naruto tripped and into the ice cream he had bought for them after dinner. Yue said she loved that even after everything her dad still managed to appear so human.

Later that night Sasuke was in bed thinking things over in his head. He promised to spend the next day with Itachi, who was trying to sort things out as well. Ever since Naruto had returned Kyuubi's attention has been on the Namikaze Uzumaki family and Itachi is no longer able to tell what he's up to and its driving him crazy.

He was almost asleep when he heard a noise from his window. Puzzled he stood up and went to see what was causing the noise. Standing in front of the window he didn't see anything so he opened it. On the ground was Naruto looking up and waving with a grin on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto didn't respond. Instead he climbed up the wall and entered their old bedroom and kissed Sasuke with a peck before going over and sitting on the bed.

"Why didn't you just use the door?" Sasuke asked as he joined Naruto on the bed.

"Its normal and vastly overrated." Naruto deadpanned, "And besides I was hoping you'd remember."

Sasuke made a puzzling face ans asked, "Remember what?"

Naruto raised a golden brow, "You seriously don't remember?"

"It'll help if you help me," Sasuke rolled his eyes slightly irritated.

"Humph, You seriously don't remember me coming over to your house in the middle of the night while we were dating..." Naruto's voice drifted into a whisper as the memories were coming back to Sasuke.

Sasuke was having trouble sleeping. It was his first anniversary every, and he wasn't sure what was supposed to happen. His relationship with Naruto was different from what he's seen with other relationships. It wasn't just some high school trend or whatever, it was real. Being with Naruto gave him a feeling of being where he belonged and he liked it. He also liked how Naruto only had eyes for him and didn't bother paying attention to anyone else. Naruto wasn't like what Sakura describes other guys . Never had Naruto put him in a position that he wasn't comfortable with, but with their one year anniversary coming up Sasuke couldn't help but wonder if Naruto would bring something up...he was secretly hoping he did. He wants Naruto to own his everything and vice-versa.

Suddenly he hears something from the window. When he opens the window and looks down Naruto is there smiling at him. In no time Naruto climbs up and enters Sasuke's room.

"What are you doing out in this weather? Its freezing!" Sasuke demanded.

"Shh, I don't want anyone to know I'm here," Naruto said.

Sasuke blushed, he didn't really want to explain to his family why his boyfriend was in his room at such an ungodly hour.

"Oh..." Sasuke said.

"Now do you remember?" Naruto asked.

"I think so...Um..." Sasuke walks over to Naruto and caresses his face, "You shouldn't put yourself at risk like this."

Naruto smiled as Sasuke said the same words he said all those years ago. Word by word. He just thought he'd do something romantic like when they were teenagers, and I suppose their first time replayed was pretty romantic, "I know, but remember that I have a higher tolerance to the weather than you. I'm fine...and I really wanted to see you."

"Really? Why did you have to see me so badly that it couldn't wait until morning?" Sasuke asked.

"I've been thinking about you more lately...well, our relationship. I...I'm not used to...normality so I don't know anything about this kind of stuff. I want to make you happy and I wanted to ask you what you wanted for tomorrow, but...I also just want to be with you."

"I've been thinking about the same thing," Sasuke said as he laces his arms around Naruto's neck and they kiss. Their kiss becomes more passionate as they land on Sasuke's bed.

"Are you sure about what your doing?" Naruto whispered.

"I think-no, I know so. I...I want this." Sasuke said.

"Well...um, I think we should lock the door then...this isn't something I think parents approve of," Naruto said. Sasuke blushed and rapidly went to make sure that no one would come in and interrupt them. They resumed kissing until things got more heated and clothes were beginning to be removed.

Naruto moved his way down and began kissing Sasuke's neck and his hands traveled lower which caused Sasuke to moan.

"Shh, you don't want anyone interrupting us do you?" Naruto asked.

"Nuh uh," Sasuke answered.

Naruto chuckled and continued his actions. By the time Naruto finished preparing Sasuke, it was difficult for him to remember exactly what happened all those years ago to the T, hell he could barely stay quiet. All he wanted to do was scream until his throat hurt. After Sasuke sheathed Naruto completely and after a while of getting accustomed to the odd but familiar feeling Naruto managed to find Sasuke's spot that made his want to scream, but luckily Naruto quieted his screamed with feverish kisses.

Naruto switched their positions so that Sasuke was riding him. The sight of it just aroused him more that his dreams ever could. He saw the look in his lovers eyes and reached over to help him reach his point. Not being able to hold any longer Sasuke let go as he reached completion. Naruto soon followed and made Sasuke feel unbelievable as he wrote out his orgasm.

"You look amazing right now, do you realize that?" Naruto asked with a tired smirk.

Sasuke reached down and kissed him, "Uh huh. Is this...is this going to be like the first time? All of it?"

"I don't see why not," Naruto replied.

Sasuke woke up the next morning feeling really sore. He blushed as he remembered what he had done, but then frowned. He wished...

Suddenly an arm draped over his waist, pulling him closer to a warmth he barely realized was there. He turned to his other side and realized that Naruto had actually stayed instead of leaving right after. Sasuke being very happy about that action pecked Naruto on the lips, which woke him up because that peck turned into a make out session.

"Morning," Naruto whispered.

"Hey," Sasuke replied.

"What time is it?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke looked over to his clock on his nightstand and replied, "Almost six."

"Hmm...I wish I could stay here longer but I don't think I'll live if I get caught," Naruto said.

"Yeah, and I need you alive so you can love me and make love to me again," Sasuke said which made Naruto smirk.

"So...you liked it?" Naruto asked nervously.

"Yeah, I most definitely did. It was perfect for my first time...and almost getting caught by Itachi only made it more dangerous and amazing," Sasuke said.

"Heh, yeah," Naruto stood from the bed and began to look for his clothes.

Sasuke watched, enjoying the view, but then thought of something, "Why did you stay?"

Naruto stopped and looked at Sasuke, "It was our first time...I didn't want you to think I only want you for your body. I want you to know that this is special to me...plus, its nice not waking up alone..."

For over the next few weeks Yue and Yoruki have been spending time together and were actually getting along. Mikoto had been right when she said that they had a lot in common. Naruto had once again taken over Namikaze Corps and was getting things back to the way they used to be before things got out of hand. The family feel to the place returned and it seemed like everyone was acting like everything was alright again...well, almost everyone.

One Sora was walking around the house his father had bought. His father had gotten tired of being babysat by Kyuubi so he moved them to their own place. It was about the same size as their apartment but a but bigger. Anyway, as Sora was walking around, bored, the phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and almost growled. He didn't bother with it and ignored it, but forgot about the machine. Sora didn't even want to hear his voice on the stupid machine. Angry, Sora unplugged the damned device and stormed out of the house.

Usually when he was angry he would go spend time with his father but not this time. He got a feeling that right now his father would try and convince him to accept Sasuke and all that bull. Sora didn't want that. If he got to that talk then it meant that they were returning to them and that just couldn't happen! But talking with his dad always made him feel better than anything else. So Sora decided he'd get a snack to calm him down and then head over to Uzumaki Corps and talk to his dad.

After stopping at Burger King for a Hershey pie Sora made his way to Uzumaki Corps building. The place still looked as amazing as it did when he was five. Both on the outside and inside. Apparently from what he remembered the secretaries somehow managed to convince his dad about getting the latest statues and paintings and other modern things top notch businesses had. He made his way through and didn't bother stopping to ask anyone for help or permission. This was his grandfathers business, run by his father, and one day it'll be his! Besides, he had a really good memory and remembered that the presidents office was on the top floor.

He opened the door to his fathers office and was about to say hi when he froze at the scene in front of him. His dad had his arms around the waist of that...that...Uchiha! And they had obviously been kissing and who knew what else.

Sora felt angry, shocked, and betrayed. He was sure he was crying as he ran out of there. The elevator seemed too slow so he used the emergency stairs. He was positive he heard his name being called and he even heard the footsteps that followed him, but he didn't care. He didn't want to be there anymore. He didn't want to know what happened...he just wanted to be anywhere but there.

He reached the lobby and was about to leave when he heard his father calling his name. He stopped and turned slowly. He numbly realized that there weren't too many people there to witness this.

Naruto carefully approached Sora, but stopped when Sora took a step back.

"How could you?" Sora demanded.

"Sora, let me explain," Naruto said.

"Explain what? That you were fraternizing with the enemy?" Sora yelled.

"Sora its not like that and you know it," Naruto said calmly.

Sora shook his head as the tears continued to fall freely. "How could you leave someone like Neji-sensei for him?" Sora demanded as he pointed at Sasuke accusingly.

"Sora please let us-" Sasuke began but Sora cut him off, "NO ONE'S TALKING TO YOU!"

"Sora please," Naruto tried.

"NO! Dad, he hurt us! He betrayed you! He cheated and broke our family! You had nightmares and you were broken! Then we find Neji and things start getting better! We were starting to be happy again...but then he comes along again and ruins everything all over again!" Sora looks directly at Sasuke, "WHY? Why can't you just leave us alone? You made it perfectly clear to me that you didn't want me! That I wasn't good enough! Why, after I found a good family do you have to ruin it!" Sora cried as his angry tears fell. Naruto rushed over to Sora and picked him up. Sora didn't fight him but buried his face in the crook of his neck and harshly cried. In between gasps and hiccups Sora asked, "Why can't he just let us be happy? Why?"

Sora lifts himself from his father and yells at Sasuke, "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU I HATE I HATE YOU! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!"

"Shhh...calm down Sora," Naruto tried to sooth his hurting son. He turned towards Sasuke and said, "I have to go. I'll fix this, promise." and left while all Sasuke could do was stand there with a defeated expression. Sakura rushes over and hugs Sasuke, who barely noticed his own tears.

Sorry for any errors but it is currently like 3:30 in the morning and my eyes are like begging to be closed so I can't double check everything.

But other than that, um, sorry for the mega long update. I hope the next one won't take me forever, but if I get alot of reviews for this chapter maybe it'll motivate me to update sooner.

Writers love reviews, they thrive on them. So let me see the love and hopefully a new chapter will arrive by the end of the weekend.
