A/N: *Sniff* This is the last chapter before the epilogues… I can't believe it!

BTW you guys, I just found out something FUCKING amazing. If you have google chrome then you have to type it in there (cuz it worked for me there instead of the internet explorer and also on safari if you have a mac). All I ask that you do is to just type in 'do a barrel roll' in the search bar.

DO IT.

DISCLAIMER: Kishimoto's characters

WARNINGS: fluff…..

It was just the three of them in the house. Two of them in the living room, together they were laughing and talking to each other. She was in the kitchen of course, doing her duties like any other hard working mother.

Kushina listened to the two other interact in the other room. She listened intently but had to try and stifle her squeals.

Every time she heard the almost quiet 'smack' in the other room, indicating the two kissed, she tried to not go into the room and snap a picture. It was just so damn adorable.

Quite recently over the past week, the situation between Sasuke and Naruto had seemed to almost been washed over. They had their uncertain moments but other than that, things seemed quite alright. The routine seemed to have returned.

Except there was something that was different now.

"Sasuke told me he loved me."

Kushina remembered her son's words clearly. After all, who could forget their first love confession? And she felt like such a fangirl when her baby boy had told her. What she wondered now if Naruto had felt the same?

After Naruto had told him the 'news', she had asked him how he felt. But he flushed at the question and decided to ignore it.

She pouted the rest of that day.

But she understood. He was very taken back and he wasn't sure yet. He needed that defining moment to determine it.

And by what was happening right now in the other room, that defining moment had finally happened.

She set down the dishes she was washing and decided to eavesdrop a little.

As quietly as she could, she tiptoed to the corner and listened to the quiet talking going on between Sasuke and Naruto. She peered around to see them on the loveseat together. To say the least, she almost let out a scream because she found it so adorable.

Neither of them seemed to notice her and they were just wrapped up in each other.

It was sort of like they were back in the honeymoon stage.

She strained her hearing but she heard what she wanted. Kushina walked away quietly with satisfaction and then a thought stopped her.

How would Minato react?

She was nervous for a second but then she collected herself. Minato would be upset in some sort of way. But what was happening in the next room was not that different from about twenty or so years ago when they were like that.

Yes, she would stand by her baby boy.

Minato smiled at his son who seemed back to his normal self. It was a big relief to him. He was almost ready to take his son to a therapy session to figure out what was wrong with him.

To see him smiling and laughing was all he wanted to see.

That's all that mattered.

Although he was very curious to know why had bounced Naruto back so suddenly. He had tried asking his wife but she was very coy about it. He knew that she knew but she wouldn't tell him.

He kept on thinking about all the possible reasons in his head.

And then he almost toppled over in his chair at the very last reason he thought up of.

"Papa! What's wrong?" Naruto shouted.

Kushina was by his side and helped him up. "Minato, are you okay? What just happened to you?" she asked. She inspected him to make sure that he was okay.

Minato stood up and pulled Naruto up and put his hands on his small son's shoulders. "Naruto! You didn't have sex did you? Is that why you're like this so suddenly?" he shouted. He was getting frazzled now.

Naruto let out a scream and shook off his hands. "What are you talking about Papa? Of course I didn't have sex!"

Kushina looked frantically between the two, unsure of what to say.

It's not like she knew if they did it. All she knew was that they were saying 'it' now.

"Are you sure? Because I swear if you did, we'd have to go through some serious lectures!"

"Yes! I swear! I'm still a virgin!"

"Then why are you acting like this?"

"I'm acting like what? Aren't you glad that I'm not all depressed anymore?"

"Well of course I am! But why?"

"It's no big deal Papa! Sasuke just told me that he lo-"

The whole room was quiet now and everything seemed frozen.

Minato had wide eyes set on his son, dreading what he knows for sure what his son was going to say. Kushina's eyes darted back and forth between the two blondes. Naruto's face was flushed red and a variety of curses were being yelled in his mind.

"Wha… What were you going to say son?"

Naruto pursed his lips. He knows that his father would have a freak out. But the truth was practically spilled out now. Minato just wanted the confirmation to come from him. He glanced at his mother and saw the support in her eyes.

He sighed through his nose and decided that he might as well say the truth.

Sasuke read silently in his room, waiting patiently. He had received a phone call not too long ago from Naruto, just telling him that he would be over at his house. And not only that, but his parents would be in tow right behind him.

He had hoped that he and Naruto would spend more time alone together.

But he wondered why the blonde's parents were coming alongside with him.

The doorbell rang from downstairs but he didn't move from his spot. He didn't want to seem too eager to see his blonde. Of course he actually felt that way but he's supposed to keep that cool façade that he was naturally born with.

"Sasuke, you have guests." A deep voice said from the other side of the door.

He stood from his bed and opened the door. He nodded to his father and walked carefully down the stairs. Naruto and his parents stood in the foyer. He tried to meet Naruto's gaze but the blonde was looking down at his feet.

"Minato-san, Kushina-san, it's nice to see you again." Sasuke greeted. He bowed to them slightly and rested his gaze on his boyfriend.

Naruto hesitantly looked up at him and gave him a nervous smile. He walked up to Sasuke and placed a quick kiss on his lips.

"Please, come with me. We can chat together in the family room with Mikoto and Itachi." Fugaku said in that authoritative voice of his.

They all walked quietly through the Uchiha household and reached the family room. The room was still silent as they sat down. They were all quiet, unsure of how to break the silence.

Naruto was playing with his fingers. He had spilled the truth to Minato and now that he was here at Sasuke's house, he had no idea whatsoever about what was going to happen. He hadn't the slightest clue. Only that some sort of confrontation would go down.

"So, what brings Minato-san and Kushina-san into our home?" Mikoto asked politely.

Kushina and Minato exchanged glances with one another, both unsure of how to start off.

"Well it's come to our attention that Naru-chan and Sasuke-kun have advanced in their relationship lately." Kushina started.

All of the Uchiha's present in the room, their ears perked up, curious to know what Kushina meant.

She quickly added, "Of course it didn't cross any physical boundaries! I just mean that they seemed to have reached an emotional point in their relationship. And we're concerned that perhaps they are moving a little fast?"

All dark eyes shifted to the young couple, the center of attention now. Naruto flushed at their gazes but Sasuke was unfazed of course. Blue eyes drifted down and tried to will the floor to swallow him whole. Sometimes he really wished he wasn't so open and honest with his parents.

"Sasuke, is she saying what I think she's saying?" Itachi asked his little brother. All he received was a nod as an answer.

Fugaku eyed his youngest son and thought silently. "Sasuke, what do you have to say?"

The youngest Uchiha stood up and pulled Naruto up as well. He held Naruto against his side and with a serious expression declared to the adults, "I love Naruto."

Minato and Kushina had held their breaths at the declaration. The Uchihas were stone faced, as if they were contemplating what had just been announced.

Naruto bit his lower lip and scanned the room. With reluctance that he wish he could shake off he said, "I love Sasuke."

"Then I suppose that Sasuke will have to take responsibility," Fugaku said, standing up, "isn't that right Minato-san?"

Minato looked up at Fugaku dumbly and then his words processed in his mind. He stood up and looked at the young couple.

He was nervous; this was a big emotional step for his son in such a short amount of time. But he couldn't argue and say that it wouldn't work out in the end anyway. He and Kushina were almost in the same exact position so many years ago. Who is he to say that they wouldn't up together in the end?

He sighed to himself. Well, in no way was he giving up his only son anytime soon to his boyfriend. But for now he'd just have to watch over him… very carefully.

Minato cleared his throat and gave a stern look to Sasuke. "Take responsibility. If you do anything wrong, I swear you'll never see my son again."

Sasuke smirked and hugged Naruto tighter. "You're going to get sick of seeing my face."

Naruto smiled in relief. He thought for sure that his father would have a huge freak out. He looked at his father with gratefulness and said, "Thank you Papa."

"Just be sure to tell me or Mama if anything goes wrong. Tell us right away."

"I will, I'll do it right away."

Sasuke pulled Naruto's chin up and kissed him right in front of their parents. He ignored when Minato huffed, Kushina squealed, Mikoto aweing them, and when he heard the click of Itachi's camera phone taking a picture.

Of course in the end Sasuke got what he wanted.

And yes, definitely Minato would get even more tired of seeing his face.
