Naruto put the stack of paper back on the edge of the desk, before he now took the invitation in his hands.
The invitation looked really good. Modern but still classic and Naruto knew, that this exhibition wasn´t a normal exhibition in a normal museum. It must probably mean a lot to Kakashi and he probably was really happy to get this chance, while Naruto hadn´t even looked at the invitation at all.
He felt really bad about that.
The blond boy was so lost in his thoughts, that he hadn´t heard the knock on his door and jumped startled up, when Sasuke suddenly came inside and called him by his name.
The blond boy looked shocked at the Uchiha and hide the invitation immediately under the stack of paper.
,,W-What do you want?" He asked a bit panicked and turned now to Sasuke, who sighed loudly and walked towards him.
,,You know, that you don´t need to hide that from me, right?" He smiled gently and took the invitation out from the stack.
,,Are you really sure, that you don´t want to go?" Asked Sasuke a bit worried. ,,Your father would certainly be happy, if we could go there together."
,,I´m totally sure." The Uzumaki boy said seriously and turned now back to his desk and to his homework.
The Uchiha sighed again, before he sat next to him on the chair.
,,So can you at least tell me, why you don´t want to go?" He asked unsure. He didn´t know, if Naruto was in a bad mood right now and if he would freak out again. He really didn´t want that.
The blond boy stopped shortly, before he slowly turned his head to Sasuke and looked at him, before he sighed loudly and looked back at his homework.
,,It´s not like I don´t want to go…." He stopped shortly and looked down on his hands. Sasuke knew, that he didn´t wanted to talk about it and that it was obviously hard for him, but the Uchiha couldn´t help him like that. He needed to know the reason.
,,But when I see, who the people… look at the stature, I…" Bite Naruto on his lip and Sasuke could see his painful look even from the side. ,,I just can´t do that." He looked now at the black haired.
,,I don´t know.. It feels like they are looking at me and some memories are coming back in my mind…" Naruto´s breathing got very difficult and the blond boy got really unsettled.
,,Naruto." Took Sasuke his face in his hands. ,,Calm down." He said quietly and looked him deep into the eyes.
The Uzumaki boy looked with big eyes at him, but his breathed was still fast and hard.
,,These people don´t look at you. They are only looking at Kakashi-Sensei´s hard work." He said gently and the other one slowly started to calm down.
,,These people don´t want anything from you and I will make sure, that no one can touch or hurt you." He said seriously, but with a softness in his voice, which calmed the blond boy even more down.
,,You don´t need to be afraid. I won´t let you out of my sight. I will be by your side." Stroke Sasuke gently with his thumb over Naruto´s cheek and smiled gently at him.
Naruto swallowed hard, before he dropped his head and nodded.
The Uchiha smiled softly, before he pushed Anruto´s head up, so that he had to look at him.
,,Kakashi-Sensei will be happy." He smiled. ,,And your Dad too." Again nodded the Uzumaki boy unsure, but the Uchiha smiled only. He couldn´t do anything against that. Naruto was just too cute, but at the same time it hurt him.
He felt so bad, that Naruto had even problems to go to an exhibition. It was hard to watch.
But that also showed, what a good person Naruto actually is. The blond boy was still modelling for Kakashi, even though he isn´t feeling good about that and now he will go to the exhibition, just to make Kakashi happy.
Sasuke was actually a bit jealous of their relationship. They were to close. Naruto was of course not sleeping with Kakashi, he knew that already, but Sasuke also knew, that they were really really close and that bothered him.
,,Good." Smiled Sasuke, before he got up. ,,I will tell your father the news." He smiled and ruffled shortly through the blond hair. ,,Just call me, when you need help." He smiled again.
,,Okay.." Said Naruto and turned back to his homework.
The Uchiha really wouldn´t mind helping him and spend a bit time with him, but Naruto had made clear on Tuesday, that he wanted to do the rest alone and at the moment he didn´t wanted to make Naruto angry. He also didn´t want to give Minato the impression, that he saw Naruto just as a friend and not as a client.
He was still his bodyguard.
Knock Knock.
,,Yes?" Turned Minato from his table up and looked at the door.
,,Am I interrupting you?" Opened Itachi the door and poked his head through the door into the small office.
,,No." Smiled the Namikaze. ,,How can I help you?"
,,I just wanted to talk to you about something." Closed the black haired now his door behind him and went a bit towards the table.
,,Sure. Go on." Smiled the other one and put his hands in his lap.
Shortly sighed Itachi, before he looked seriously at him. He had hoped, that he could start this topic gently, but he simple couldn´t think of a way how to do that, so he just had to ask directly.
,,Why are you going out of him way?" He asked seriously and looked deep into the blue eyes of the other one. Minato looked surprised at him. He hadn´t expected that question.
,,W-What makes you think that?" Asked the blond boy now surprised and overwhelmed. He was always bad at lying and didn´t know, how he could evade that question.
,,Minato. If my brother or I didn something wrong, then-" But the Namikaze interrupted him.
,,No! You did nothing wrong." Stood Minato now up. He knew himself, that his behavior was stupid and not fair. He had only got a stupid letter and he already questioned the Uchiha´s. The sender probably wanted that and he knew, that it was absolutely wrong, he knew that himself, but still…
Too many questions were open. He first had to be sure, even if he had to live with a bad conscience.
,,But something is bugging you, right?" Asked Itachi gently and depressed, when he slowly walked to the other one.
,,It´s nothing." Looked the other one now at him and the Uchiha knew, that it wasn´t true, but he knew it was useless to ask more. Minato would close himself up even more.
,,Are you sure? You know that you can talk to me about everything." Said the Uchiha now gently, placing a hand on the cheek of the other one.
,,It's really nothing." Smiled Minato sad. ,,But thanks."
,,Minato..." Said the Uchiha quietly, almost whispered, before the black haired simply hugged him.
Although the Namikaze did not tell him what was going on, he still wanted to be there for him.
,,Itachi? What-" Asked Minato confused, but when he realized that the other one pressed him even closer, so he stopped himself and hugged Itachi back.
Shortly came tears into Minato´s eyes and he hide his face in Itachi´s chest.
The Uchiha was such a nice and carrying person and Minato suspected him to have something to do with the letter and his wife´s dead. For a brief moment Minato hated himself.
Itachi, who noticed the tension, looked briefly at him, before he pressed Minato even closer.
,,Minato…" He whispered softly, stroking his blond hair.
,,And what should I do?" Asked Naruto now angry.
He had again taken the invitation in his hand, after Sasuke was gone, when he noticed something important.
The exhibition was tomorrow, just like the meeting of Orochimaru and Kabuto. He immediately called Kiba, but he was absolutely not pleased. Of course, Naruto knew, that he wouldn´t be happy about it, but the brown-haired was a little too angry.
,,Don´t go?"Asked Kiba angry.
,,Are you serious?" Jumped the blond boy up from his chair and struck mad at the table. ,,How do you think I should do that? My Father has already told Kakashi, that we are coming and even if I suddenly say, that I don´t want to go, they wouldn´t let me."
,,So? Something like that could never stop you! You´re always found a way out!"
,,Yeah I did, but it isn´t so easy anymore." The Uzumaki boy calmed slowly down and dropped down in his chair again.
Even if he tries to run away again, Sasuke would never let him out of his sight for a moment and he couldn´t take Sasuke with him. He would stop him and ruin everything.
,,It´s because of him right?" Asked Kiba angry. ,,You´re scared, that he will get fires when you run away again, right? Is he more important than this?" Yelles Kiba now almost.
,,What?" Yelled Naruto now angry and stood up again. ,,Are you joking? Sasuke and my feelings for him have nothing to do with that!"
,,Oh, so you are having feelings for him?"
,,I never said that!" Said Naruto angry, but he was happy, that Kiba wasn´t here to see his face. He really red right now.
,,You can´t fool me Naruto. I´m your best friend." Said Kiba still angry, but had calmed down a bit and didn´t yell anymore. He sounded more disappointed then angry.
,,That´s not true!" Shook the Uzumaki boy his head.
,,Oh, fine. Whatever." Sighed Kiba now. ,,You only have two choices. You have to think about a way to come or we have to wait forever for the next opportunity." He said now serious.
,,Fine." Sighed Naruto, thinking.
He had to think about something. He wouldn´t let this chance go away, but he also wanted to go to the exhibition.
,,Fine. I will go to the exhibition and after that I will meet you there." Said Naruto now.
,,How will you do that?"Asked Kiba skeptical.
,,I will think about a way to go. I always thought about something."
,,I hope so." Said Kiba seriously, before they ended the call.
Again threw Naruto angry his cell phone on the bed, but he threw it too far and his phone fell down on the side and rolled under the bed.
,,Awesome.." Sighed Naruto and knelt now in front of his bed.
,,I can´t even do that…" He muttered to himself and searched with his hands under his bed for his cellphone. But his hands felt something different and pulled it out and looked with wide eyes at it.
,,That should work." He smirked now and put it now into his drawer. Sasuke would see it early enough.
Sasuke knocked softly on the door in order not to wake his brother or Minato up. It was quite late but the lights were still on in Naruto´s room.
,,Naruto?" He opened now the door and stuck his head through the door and smiled slightly.
He quietly closed the door behind him and walked towards the sleeping Uzumaki boy. His laptop was still on and beside him stood a pair of Red Bull cans, while Naruto´s head was laying on the documents and already started to drool.
The black haired had to stop himself from laughing, but couldn´t help to take his cell phone out and made a picture of him. Naruto would probably kill him, if he would see that, but he had to make a picture. It was just too cute.
The Uchiha quickly took his cell phone back in his pocket, before he carefully pulled some documents under Naruto´s hand out and leaned with his back against the desk, before he read through it.
He had to smile. Naruto really had worked hard and he only found a few spelling mistakes and that was pretty good, since spelling was not one of his strengths.
The Uchiha shook slightly his head and put it back on the desk, before he now grabbed Naruto and carried him to his bed. He quickly covered him again, before he sat down on the chair and finished Naruto´s homework.
The Uzumaki boy would kill him, if he noticed that, but Sasuke had promised him, that he would get a 1 for this and he always kept his promises.
,,And? Nervous?" Grinned Sasuke at the other one.
,,Why should I?" Joked the blond boy, but inside he was a bit nervous. The homework was finished and he was happy, that it was finally finished.
But Kakashi-Sensei came inside, interrupting his students.
,,Take your seats." He said, how he walked to his seat and put his things on the table.
,,As you already know, your exams starts in two weeks and I hope, that you already started to learn." He said serious and looked through the ranks.
The Uchiha looked also briefly around and he could see in some faces, that some people obvious hadn´t learned at all.
Kiba was quite calm and silent, which never happened.
Shikamaru was still laying on his desk and didn´t even think about looking up.
Shortly looked the Uchiha to the side and was not surprised, that the blond boy was a bit pale.
Naruto had been so focused on the homework, that he had forgotten everything else.
Shortly sighed Sasuke. He could already imagine, that he had to play his tutor.
,,That´s why I have some exercise sheets for you." Pulled the teacher now a bunch of sheets out from his bag and stood in front of his class.
,,If you can answer these question then the exams will be now problem." He smiled now and started to spread them to his students.
But he stopped at the back, right in front of Naruto and Sasuke.
,,I´m really happy, that you are comine." He smiled now at the Uzumaki boy.
..Sasuke doesn´t give me a choice." The blond boy scratched embarrassed the back of his head.
,,Then I probably have to thank you." The teacher turned now to Sasuke and smiled.
,,I haven´t done anything." Smiled the Uchiha and shrugged.
,,Nevertheless, thank you." Knocked Kakashi briefly on his shoulder, before he gave them also some worksheets.
,,So? Where is your homework?" He said now serious and looked down at the Uzumaki boy.
,,I have it." Searched Naruto in his back, before he took it out and gave it to Kakashi.
,,Here." He smiled and Kakashi looked surprised at him.
,,Thank you.," He looked still surprised, but took it from him.
Normally Naruto´s work had never a cover page with the subject and his name on it.
,,I will read it immediately." He said now and went back to his table.
He gave his students some work, before he put his feet on the table and started to read Naruto´s homework.
