"SHIT!"
My eyes fly open as I awake to a panicked Sasuke. I instantly fly out of bed and start looking around the room, trying to find the assailant that wasn't there.
"Whatwhatwhat!?"
I look back at Sasuke to find him staring in horror at the white-stained mess on his bed covers.
"Oh, yeah... next time, we might wanna use condoms," I state as I shiver, feeling Sasuke's semen drip out of my anus, down my leg, and onto the floor. Sasuke looks over and watches it happen, then cringes.
"I am so sorry about that, I didn't mean to-"
I shut him up with a kiss on the lips and a smile. "Doesn't matter. We made love and it felt nice to be one with you last night." He blushes and gives off an unusually goofy grin.
I then realize I just jumped onto a fractured limb and swung my casted arm about. I wince and also realize the semen dripped into the boot.
"Oh god! Sasuke! Help me get the boot off!" I screech as I half-run to the bathroom, Sasuke tailing me as he gets to boot off my leg. "Can you wash it out as I take a shower?"
"No problem," Sasuke nods and goes over to the sink to clean out my boot while I take a shower.
"Uh... Naruto... You're gonna need a new boot. You cracked this one when you jumped out of bed..."
This was going to be an interesting.
After (begrudgingly) explaining to the doctor how I broke the boot (and why it smelled like our cherry blossom hand soap), I got a new one and we were on our way to lunch with Sasuke's parents and my guardians.
"Why am I dressed in a monkey suit?" I growl out, not happy to be in a tux.
"Because this place is pretty high class. Even Kakashi-sensei put on a tuxedo," Sasuke chuckles and I look shocked for a second. Wow. That old man really did it.
"You don't need to add the suffix '-sensei' anymore. He's not your teacher," I state, feeling a tinge of jealousy. "Just 'Kakashi' is fine. Even he will tell you that."
Sasuke smiles and nods. "Fine. Just 'Kakashi', then." He complies so easily. I think he's afraid of doing anything that might upset me. But... I'm sure I do things that upset him all the time.
"Hey... I mean... if you want to, you can. You don't have to instantly agree," I look at him suspiciously.
"Well, I know you don't like it when I treat him special or anything. And besides, you're right. He's not my teacher anymore, so the honorific '-sensei' is null and void. But just 'Kakashi' is a bit lonesome and I'd feel rude. Mind if I use the '-san' honorific for both him and his partner?" Sasuke asks me and I blush.
"Why ask me? Go ahead. I'm not your decision maker!" I look away from him.
"I just wanna make sure I'm not upsetting you. I want you happy because that makes me happy," He looks at my earnestly and my face goes from a light pink to a deep maroon. He chuckles.
"Hey, the car is noisy. I'm turning off my hearing aids," I state as I turn them off. He tells me something with my hearing aids off and I scowl, turning them back on.
"What did you say?" I ask with a quirked brow.
"Nothing, nothing. I'll tell you when we get to the restaurant. Enjoy your peace and silence," He smiles and I look at him suspiciously before turning my hearing aids back off and looking out the car window. Technically, we're in a limousine.
A little over an hour passes by before we get to the first destination on our way to the restaurant... it's an airport. A private airport.
"Goddamn rich people..." I mutter as Sasuke visibly chuckles (I don't know if it's audible because my hearing aids are still off). He leads me to the private single-engine aircraft. It only has four seats. Two up front for the pilot and co-pilot and two in the back for me and Sasuke.
"Where are we going?" I ask with a quirked brow, turning on my hearing aids to hear his answer.
"We're taking this small single-engine plane to get to Hiroshima Airport," He states, giving me time to ask a question. Which I intend to do.
"Then why did we have to drive an hour?" I ask.
"Because this particular, Uchiha-owned airport is in Tsukuba and we were in Ikebukuro. It's faster to travel north to Tsukuba and charter this plane to Hiroshima Airport rather than drive all the way to Hiroshima Airport," Sasuke explains.
"Why didn't we just take Haneda Airport?" I ask with another quirked brow.
"Because it's still faster to travel to Tsukuba, fly to Hiroshima, and then from Hiroshima, fly to our true destination," Sasuke nods his head and I make a face.
"What's our true destination?" I ask with a frown.
"Seoul." That's it. That's where we're going. JUST TO FUCKING SOUTH KOREA!
"HOW DID KAKASHI AND IRUKA GET THERE!? They don't have that kind of money!" I shout then hiss at Sasuke, who chuckles as we buckle up on the plane.
"My parents of course. But they took a single-engine to Port Uchinada and they're taking a cruise boat to Seoul. We'll be staying in Seoul for a few days," He explains. "But they'll be there by lunch and from South Korea, we go on that cruise boat and enjoy a nice cruise together."
"You give me way too many things. I don't know how to repay that," I look down and sigh, frustrated with how Sasuke spoils me.
"All I need is your love and I'll be fine," Sasuke smiles at me.
I look back at him. "And all I need is yours. I don't need all this fancy mumbo jumbo. I really don't care for luxurious plane rides, cruises, or high-class restaurant meals. I'm fine with a walk to a nearby park and something from McDonald's."
"But I want to spoil you. Just so you can taste the luxuries I was fortunate enough to have in my life. I want you to be able to experience it, too. After you've experienced what I've been able to experience and you still wish to have a luxury-free life, we will have a luxury-free life," Sasuke smiles and I nod.
"If that's what you want," I say.
"Yes. I want you to experience all of it so that way you can decide if you wanna help me with my parents' company or lead our life. I'll follow you whatever you decide. I'm content just being by your side," He says something rather embarrassing. I blush and turn my hearing aids off once more. Mostly so I didn't have to hear him say embarrassing things, but also because hearing aids and high altitudes weren't a good idea.
After much airplane riding, we arrive in Seoul and rented out a limousine to take us to this really high-dollar South Korean restaurant.
Once we arrive, I get out the car and go inside with Sasuke, hand-in-hand... and me in a boot.
Inside... awaited a world I've never known. The ceilings had magnificent ancient Chinese paintings on them with glass and crystal chandeliers transcend down to brighten the area. The walls were made of inlaid white ash with elegant designs, the columns of ivory. The trims were solid gold and the floor was polished white marbled. The chairs, tables, and booths were white and gold and seemed to be made of the finest materials to make the customers most comfortable. The room seemed to glow with purity and an untainted environment. This... this is a rich man's paradise.
...but I'm not a rich man. So this is more "Hell" than paradise.
I fidget and look around awkwardly as the hostess leads us to the table that the Uchiha's reserved. Sasuke's speaking to her in perfect Korean. I barely know English or any other language, let alone Korean. I sigh as I remember... Sasuke was a lonely child, shunned by his own schoolmates because of his autism. I see his autism every now and then, but he's worked at it really hard over the years and has developed some social constructs that he lacked before. He really wanted to be normal.
"Normal's boring," I mutter out loud as Sasuke looks at me confused.
"Why is normal boring?" He asks.
I blink, realizing what I said out loud. "Because everyone wants to be normal. The same Plain Jane as the next person. To be abnormal is a unique quality in this dry, boring world. Being normal is overrated." Sasuke isn't normal. He's far from normal. But the fact that he tried so hard to be normal irritates me. "Sasuke... do you wanna be normal?"
Sasuke looks taken aback for a second and then looks down with a sad look. "Well... yeah... I've always been the weird kid growing up because of my autism. I just... wanted to fit in with everyone else. I had no idea what was socially acceptable and what was socially unacceptable... I hated feeling like everyone hated how abnormal I was..."
"But that's what makes me you unique. It's what colors you in this black and white world. Never change that. You're a splash of blue in this gray monotony. I like the color you portray on this canvas of life," I smile at him. "Autism and all."
He blushes and smiles. "Yeah... I suppose you're right. You're a splash of color too, though. A bright and prominent orange. You remind me of the sun."
"And you, the moon," I smile as we look into each other's eyes.
"Ahem. I hope we're not interrupting." Sasuke and I blush and look wide-eyed at the 'intruders' to our private conversation. My guardians... and Sasuke's parents. Mikoto and Iruka were giggling over how 'cute' we were while Fugaku and Kakashi looked amused.
I was rather NOT amused.
Lunch ended with dessert as we all talked about the plans of our futures and what not. It's kind of a dull topic but I don't mind it. I really don't have any plans, but I didn't let them know.
"Alright, one bottle of champagne," the waitress comes over with a smile. She's speaking in Japanese.
"Thank you," Sasuke nods and pours everyone a glass of champagne. He then stands up, straightens his tie, smiles, and looks directly at me.
I gulp and look around as I watch everyone's eyes suddenly attract themselves to our table.
"Naruto," He begins. Dear lord, what does he want? I can't handle being the center of attention like this. "I've known you since High School and have loved you for quite a while now. Though blinded as I was, I realized I needed you in my life. I want you in my life. You're the sun to my moon; you're what lights up my world. You are my everything... So..." He blushes, scratches his cheeks, takes my hand in his and then... gets down on one knee. Oh... my... fucking... god... HERE?! Of all places!
My face is so red and so hot, I think I'm gonna pass out. He pulls out a tiny little box and looks at me with a confidence I've never seen in him before. "Will you marry me?"
There's only one act left to this series before it's done!
I hope it'll have been a worthwhile adventure!
