Chapter Ten


As much as Naruto hated his alarm clocks growing up, he actually somehow despised being woken up by a phone call even more.

Probably because it involved human interaction the second he woke up, which everyone had to agree sucked absolute balls.

So he felt quite justified in glowering blearily at his phone as it vibrated loudly on his bedside table. He just thanked God he'd had the forethought to leave it on vibrate last night.

But it was still damn loud and it wasn't just him who made noises of disapproval as the metal slab of evil continued to shake angrily.

He glanced down at Sakura, a mess of pink tresses covering her face and his chest as she shuffled against him and grumbled. It'd be adorable if he wasn't too annoyed by his phone to enjoy it.

Reaching for his phone, doing his best not to disturb the sleeping woman draped over him, Naruto swallowed a yelp as while he reached and Sakura snuggled in she slightly kneed him in the balls.

Ow, ow, OW.

Thankfully, focusing on trying to scoop up his phone was distracting him from the slight ache Sakura's knee had caused, only for him to growl as he looked at the time and who was actually calling him.

His grandpa's profile picture, the old man pulling some kind of ridiculous face he thought was funny, filled his phone, bathing Naruto and Sakura in light as it continued to shudder in his grasp.

Why was the old man ringing him at eight in the goddamn morning? He knew Naruto wasn't a morning person. Hell, Jiraiya wasn't either, so what the actual hell?

He considered actively ignoring his call. He'd let it go to voicemail and then text him that he'd call back later at a civilised time, and go back to sleeping. It was certainly more appealing to sleep with a beautiful, naked woman burying her face in his neck than have a whispered conversation with his grandpa.

A conversation that could wake Sakura, who wouldn't know he wasn't talking to her and if his grandpa learned Naruto had female company this early in the morning … it would only add more time to the conversation. Mostly him insisting on every detail about Sakura and how she'd wound up in his bed.

Maybe he was being unfair to him but given how Jiraiya had asked Naruto the cup size of the last hook up he'd had before he'd gone off to university … Naruto wasn't taking that damn chance.

But he also knew that if he didn't answer the phone … his grandpa would just keep ringing until he'd gotten him on the phone. As much as Jiraiya Namikaze liked having access to the internet, had all the social media a professional writer should have, he still had the same approach to talking to his family that nearly all his generation had. A phone call was almost always insisted upon.

Plus it was really early and Jiraiya didn't tend to wake up himself until later. What if it was an emergency?

Sakura grumbled cutely and let out an annoyed breath that tickled his neck. He unconsciously ran his fingers around the small of her back and the pinkette smiled into his skin.

Fuck it, he'd answer the call, make sure his grandpa was alright and then tell him to call back later. Quick and easy and if he kept his voice low, he might not wake Sakura and they could nestle back in for a couple more hours of sleep.

He felt more than justified in not wanting to stop feeling Sakura's body pressed into him before he absolutely had to. She was absolutely stunning and he had very quickly become very fond of waking up under a naked Sakura Haruno.

Repositioning himself, still trying to cause as little disruption to his bed mate as he could, Naruto answered the phone.

'Ah finally!' His grandpa's exuberant and slightly frustrated voice all but blared through the phone. So loud Naruto's eyes snapped to Sakura, staying on her even as she continued to sleep soundly. 'I knew calling you would finally get you to talk to me. You're so predictable Naruto.'

'Yeah, yeah,' Naruto whispered down the phone. 'It's eight a.m. old man, if you just called to talk this can wait until we're in double digits for time.'

'And have you dodge me by being 'busy'? No, I made the gargantuan effort of waking up before ten so I could talk to my favourite grandson and you will talk to me.' Jiraiya actually sounded a little upset at having to force him into talking to him.

Naruto would feel bad but he was still sour after all of his family not telling him what the old man was going to be leading his whole degree.

He could take a week of the cold shoulder.

'I'll tell Menma you said that,' Naruto was still whispering, glancing at Sakura still but she seemed to be blissfully undisturbed. At least he hoped so because if she was edging her knee into his balls on purpose he'd be more than a little upset. 'And I have been busy. I have a life you know.'

'Yes I saw,' Jiraiya snickered down the line. 'It appears I was being unkind when I suggested you hadn't gotten any in a while. Is 'Busy' that blonde babe you're living with? If she's why you've been busy I'll forgive you for ghosting me.'

Naruto swallowed a growl and tried instead to focus on how nice Sakura being smooshed against him felt. It soothed him immensely.

'How do you even know about Ino?' Naruto hissed.

'Your sister, you know the grandchild who talks to me without prompting? She showed me her 'thirsty pics' of you.' Jiraiya's smirk was so powerful it was palpable through the phone. 'Well done grandson, that is one fine specimen of the female form. But don't settle for just her, I saw you running out of class with that pretty 'girl next door' type you were sat next to. I approve, you're a young man with no ties, spread those Namikaze seeds and then find a good woman to put up with your bullshit. You're only young and free once kiddo. Just don't try juggling women, that's not fair and you know how many times I've told you to be a gentleman. It makes it so much easier to get into women's pants if you're respectable.'

Naruto wanted to throw up in his mouth.

'Well anyway, if you can drag yourself out of between either of their legs-'

He had to bite his tongue so he didn't yell at him and completely ruin his currently successful task of getting his grandad to back off while not disturbing Sakura. Thank god he'd kept her soothed by rubbing up and down her back.

'I'd like to see you, you can have your little moan about my genius prank and then we can catch up,' Jiraiya said.

That did actually sound alright. He hadn't seen any of his family for a couple weeks now and while he'd been in the same room with his grandpa, that didn't really count and he supposed he did miss the old pervert.

'Fine, where?' Naruto said with a long sigh. He winced as Sakura jerked in her sleep and her knee came up. He was gonna have to move her soon or he'd be unable to walk today.

However, in his attempt not to shout out in pain his fingers dragged up over Sakura's ass, where his hand had dipped to without him really thinking about it, and the beautiful woman let out a happy little sigh.

Which went right down his ear and way too close to his phone.

He prayed his grandad didn't hear that. Just please, a small mercy please God.

'Well don't sound too happy about it jeez, not like you'll have to pay to have lunch with your old grandpa,' Jiraiya hmmphed down the phone. 'Are you really so angry that I convinced you to go on a writing and literature degree and didn't tell you it was the one I'm heading up? You're being a little childish about this Naruto.'

Apparently God was smiling on his right now because it didn't seem like Jiraiya had heard Sakura's happy sighs or the rustling covers.

And as he continued to rant at Naruto for being childish over his perfectly reasonable reaction, considering he'd now actively have to lie to people about who his grandpa was for possibly years …

Naruto wasn't really listening because his accidental bit of grab ass had woken Sakura and she was slowly shifting next to him, her eyes opening slowly as she nestled into him and started kissing the parts of him directly in front of her tender lips.

Thankfully when she looked up to meet his eyes she was with it enough to see him pointing at his phone and mouthing – sorry.

'Besides Naruto, your dad's protégé didn't tell you he was gonna be one of your lecturers either and I can't imagine you're being anywhere near as pissy with him.' His grandpa continued on unaware.

'Yeah well that's different,' Naruto said, still locking eyes with Sakura, who was slowly lifting herself up off of him, still laying over his chest but her legs untwining from his. Her knee mercifully no longer pressing into his balls.

She nodded at him, scratching at her hair and stretching against him. Grinning wickedly as she undoubtedly felt the throb of his approval at more of her body being rubbed against him.

He tapped her nose with his spare fingers and mouthed – behave.

Sakura made an o-shape of acknowledgement and settled back down on him, laying her head on his chest and breathing softly, tickling ever so slightly.

God he was lucky she was so cool. He'd fully have understood if she'd been a bit annoyed with him for answering the phone and ruining her beauty sleep.

But then Sakura was an early riser. Or at least she had been in the last four mornings they'd shared together. But maybe the promise of sex was what had her up bright and early? It certainly was what had got his admittedly lazy ass up before ten a.m.

'How exactly?' Jiraiya grumbled. 'Your sister thought it would be funny.'

'Kurama inherited your sense of humour,' Naruto fired back, unable to really be angry though as Sakura was placing tender little kisses over his chest and her fingers were idly running over the arm he'd wrapped around her.

It also helped immensely that she'd wrapped her leg around his and was rubbing her thigh up and down his. Looked like he was on to day four of morning sex. Would it be childish if he said yippee out loud?

He smirked to himself and let his hand, the one he'd innocently rested on her hip, run up her side and earned him a giggle the pinkette had to cover with her hand.

She glared playfully at him and he winked.

Seriously, finding out just how ticklish Sakura was, was a gift that just kept giving.

'Besides, she doesn't have to deal with the consequences of your pranks.'

'Oh whatever,' Jiraiya snorted. 'I had four years where my only grandchild was Kurama, I practiced all my grandpa tricks on her first, you got the more refined version.'

It was Naruto's turn to snort. 'Lucky me.'

Though he supposed he was lucky. He had a beautiful, naked woman lying on top of him, running her fingers over his stomach and dipping lower and lower as she placed soft kisses over his chest. He had to swallow a groan when Sakura's fingertips reached his waist.

Wait …

She wasn't actually going to …

He pulsed on reflex at her hand being that close and the muffled giggle she breathed into his chest betrayed her plan.

Shining green eyes, filled with mischief and a little lust met his as he stared at her incredulously. He could appreciate a joke and he was never gonna complain about Sakura's anything near his dick but right now?

She shrugged, the movement rubbing her breasts, hard nipples and all, against his chest and he bit his lip. He was greeted with a sly smile as Sakura continued to trail her fingers lower, tickling over his thighs and bringing her fingers closer and closer to his morning wood.

'Naruto? You still there?' Jiraiya grabbed his attention. He blushed furiously and Sakura's sly smile slipped into an innocent one as he widen his eyes at her and her hand rested on his thigh.

'Yeah, sorry.' He cleared his throat and ran his fingers through his hair. It was too early for this kind of stress. 'You did wake me up, I'm just a bit out of it.'

And Sakura had a far better way of holding his attention than his perverted grandfather. Though he imagined that the old man would probably approve, which was all kinds of creepy so he pushed the thought out of his head fast.

'Baby,' Jiraiya said. Naruto could hear ruffling of papers and things being moved around in the background. He wasn't really able to focus though.

Sakura had gone back to kissing his chest, making very, very quiet pleased noises after each kiss and her fingers were running up and down his shaft.

This was all kinds of messed up if he was honest but he wasn't about to stop her from whatever game she was playing. He'd just have to get his grandpa off the phone as quick as possible.

Then he could properly enjoy himself. And pay her back for her deviousness.

'So when are you next free? I don't want to drag you away from any prearranged sexual escapades.' There was a dirty chuckle and Naruto forced himself not to chastise the old man.

Well that and the fact that he didn't feel like he could.

Sakura's lips were moving further down his stomach, her fingers wrapped around his shaft and pumping him tenderly. He couldn't really tell the old man off for assuming he was busy getting laid all the time when, well … he was.

'Ummm,' Naruto dragged out as the pinkette looked up at him, her body gliding down his side and leg as she repositioned herself. She was still grinning, clearly ecstatic with her little joke and not at all bothered about being quiet. She threw back his bedding, leaving nothing between them but air. 'When did … did you have in mind?'

Her gaze left his and moved to his rigid dick, her fingers marvelling up the length of him and rubbing small circles over his throbbing head. She let out a happy little purr that Naruto was barely quick enough to cover with a cough.

'Well we can't go out tonight, your grandma and me have date night,' Jiraiya said thoughtfully, still mercifully oblivious to what was happening to his grandson right now.

Which was good because Sakura had appeared to have gotten tired of giving him a handjob and, with a lingering look that promised he was in for more of what he'd been getting daily, she pressed a suckling kiss to his eager tip.

Fuckkkkkkkk.

'That's okay,' Naruto said, his voice pitching higher as Sakura continued to place soft kisses over his tip, the involuntary throb she was causing delighting her so much that she was giggling against him. Her fingers grazing his balls as she decided to make it as difficult as possible for him to speak. 'I'm busy today anyway.'

Sakura lifted herself up on her elbows and grinned at him devilishly, pecking at his tip delicately before wrapping and unwrapping her tongue around him. Fuck she was so mean and it was so fucking hot.

She moaned softly as she took him in her mouth, sucking on his aching head lightly, testingly and Naruto had to throw his head back to swallow back his own delighted groan.

He was so getting revenge. The second he'd gotten his grandpa off the phone. She was so paying for this one. She wanted to play it like this? He could play.

'Busy huh?' Jiraiya said slyly. 'That's my boy, how's tomorrow then, will you still be busy then?'

Oh thank God, they were nearly done, all he had to do was say tomorrow would be fine, agree to whatever time the old man suggested and then he could hang up and deal with Sakura properly. The torture was nearly over.

And then Sakura started bobbing her head and thoughts meant nothing to him anymore. He couldn't even begin to cover the sound of her actively moaning as she took more and more of him into her mouth. It was all he could do to stop himself putting his hand on top of her head when she started sucking on him and swirling her delectable tongue around his cock.

Because if he did that she'd only make it worse and he was barely able to string words together as it was.

'Mmmmmmmm,' he managed to force out as the tease of a woman sucking his cock took a breather. 'Tomorrow should be good, what time?'

He had to cover his mouth as Sakura, having caught her breath apparently, had gone back to bobbing her head and moaning, making his dick vibrate as she sucked on it.

'Let's say evening, I'm in meetings all day about the semester and I will undoubtedly need a good meal, I'll text you tomorrow with the where and when, look after yourself Naruto, looking forward to seeing you,' Jiraiya said happily, Naruto was just relieved he was saying goodbye. 'Tell Busy I say hi.'

'Bye,' Naruto said hurriedly, hanging up the phone and all but throwing it onto his bedside table. He was half expecting Sakura to stop and tease him when he said bye but she was clearly too lost in what she was doing.

'Sakura?' he groaned out the question as the gorgeous woman sped up and he gripped at his hair, collapsing against the headboard of his bed. 'Fuck.'

'Mmmm,' she moaned, swaying her head back in a wave-like motion and Naruto nearly swallowed his tongue, tickling his balls until her lips were kissed against his head. She smiled and pecked at the abused tip. 'Good morning Naruto.'

The fucking 'like butter wouldn't melt' smile was so smug he was about ready to spin her ass around and take her hard until she was screaming down the whole building.

But first, she needed to know what she'd been doing. If he'd been mortified, she had to be too. Though any anger he'd had was very swiftly fading away with his rock hard self in kissing distance to her soft lips.

Which she clearly could tell as she pressed a playful kiss against said stiffness. 'Hi,' she purred.

'Yeah, hi,' Naruto snorted. He ran his fingers through his hair and groaned out his frustration. He couldn't even be angry with her for fuck's sake. He laughed ruefully.

'Sorry Naruto,' she said, totally not sorry though. Peppering his shaft with more sweet kisses. 'But your big, hard dick was right there and it looked like it needed my attention. What was I supposed to do?'

It was really hard to bring up the exasperation he needed when she kept kissing his dick, did he mention?

'And how would you feel if I'd just pulled that on you?' Naruto asked, crossing his arms over his chest and doing his best to look much angrier than he was.

'I mean,' Sakura started, another lingering kiss. 'I'm always down for your giving me head Naruto, you're very good at it.'

He rolled his eyes at the innocent smile she was giving him and groaned as she continued her ministrations. 'Sweet talker.'

'Mhmm,' Sakura murmured, her lips capturing his head again, a divine sigh tickling him as she sucked on him gently.

Fuck it, he couldn't even bring himself to care when she was touching him like that. Least he could properly enjoy the morning blowjob now.

'Who was on the phone by the way?'

'Does it matter?' Naruto asked, his eyes squeezed closed as pleasure rocked through him, Sakura's previous teasing turned up to eleven now. Apparently she'd been holding back during his phone call. Now he wasn't on the phone though … the pinkette was going for it properly.

And Naruto's brain decided to shut off everything non-essential so he could focus on just how good Sakura was making him feel.

'Mmm,' Sakura hummed as she dragged her lips back up his shaft, his head released with a pop. 'No, I'm just curious. You said you were meeting them for dinner tomorrow. Wanted to know who I'm sharing my new favourite friend with.'

She winked at him before running her tongue down the entire length on him and pressing her gorgeous lips to his base.

'Fucking hell,' Naruto hissed to Sakura's clear pleasure. He didn't wanna tell her now, it might ruin the mood and given how close he was to cumming … he didn't think he could take blue balls right now.

'Go on Naruto,' she murmured gently, holding his shaft so his cock stayed still as she licked at him like an ice lolly. 'Tell me.'

'You're not gonna like the answer,' Naruto said breathlessly as Sakura ran her tongue in a teasing circle over the slit of his head. Fuck that felt so damn good. 'Might ruin the mood.'

Sakura sighed and shook her head fondly. 'Naruto, I have been playing with your dick more or less since I woke up, I can feel you throbbing in my damn hand, tell me who was on the phone or I will blue ball you.'

'Mean,' Naruto groaned, Sakura pumping his shaft slowly as she stared him down.

It was dramatically effective, considering she was literally holding him by the dick and glaring at him playfully, it was a miracle he didn't just babble out the words instantly.

Though it did only take one long, hard suck to break through the last resolve he'd been holding onto.

'God that feels so good,' Naruto hissed. 'Okay, it was my grandpa.'

He almost cried when she froze, his manhood falling from her grasp and her open mouth as she stared at him. Damn it, he'd tried to warn her.

'Wait,' she said slowly, her cheeks going steadily pinker as her hand shot to her mouth. 'I was ...' she gestured at his throbbing self. 'While you were talking to your grandpa?!'

Naruto nodded. 'I did try to tell you you wouldn't like it.'

He was so gonna have to finish himself off now, fuck it never felt as good doing it yourself.

'Oh my God,' Sakura gasped, and not in the way he liked. 'You … I … oh God, what if he heard? Why didn't you stop me?!'

Naruto scoffed. 'You saw me on the phone Sakura, don't play innocent.'

'Well yeah, but if I'd known …' Sakura's face was almost as pink as her hair as she lifted herself up onto her knees, sitting back on her ankles as she semi-straddled him. 'You should have stopped me!'

She actually looked a bit affronted and it was all he could do to not laugh in her face. She saw he was on the phone, she had to know it was actually someone he knew. He was now curious who she'd thought he was actually on the phone to.

Where was the line where blowing someone when they were on the phone, went from funny and hot to embarrassing and upsetting?

'How was I meant to do that without tipping him off?' Naruto raised an eyebrow at her. 'It's not my fault you woke up horny and thought it'd be funny to give me an amazing blowjob when I was on the phone.'

Sakura smirked despite herself and budged closer, her knees rubbing against his. 'You could have still found a way.'

Yeah, he figured complimenting her skills would help. That and the way his hands were running up and down her legs and ass. She ran a hand up her face and shook out her hair, making her glorious breasts jiggle in the motion.

He ignored the throb swelling down his shaft at the sight and gave her ass a playful squeeze, earning him a truly beautiful smile. It was one of those small, thoroughly pleased ones. She leant down to kiss his chest and he knew he'd gotten her mind back where he wanted it.

Thank God.

'You had my brain in your mouth Sakura,' he replied back. He brought his thumb up to graze her nipple, a rush of exhilaration flashing through him as the beautiful woman in his lap's eyes fluttered closed as he rolled the nub. 'Besides, it felt amazing. Now can we please go back to what we were doing before you got suddenly shy? My balls are starting to ache.'

Which was true, the dull ache of a denied orgasm was sitting heavy in his balls and he really, really, really needed to cum.

She grinned as she edged right into his lap, his still hard member resting against her belly. 'It's still wrong. What if he heard?'

Naruto closed the shrinking distance between their lips, losing himself in the heady sensation of their naked bodies rubbing together, her arms going around his neck and almost crushing his hand on her breast between the two of them.

'But he didn't,' he whispered against her lips. 'He wouldn't have been able to resist making a comment if he had. He's kinda a pervert.'

'Says the man who's playing with my nipples while talking about his grandfather,' Sakura murmured back with a happy sigh. Her hand trailed down to stroke his length against her damp sex. 'Mmmm.'

She moaned lowly into his ear as his lips found her neck and he continued to roll and gently pinch her pink nipples. 'Going by how wet you are Sakura, don't think you care all that much.'

Sakura sighed into his ear and giggled. Continuing to giggle as he nibbled up her neck to her ear and played with her earlobe. 'No, I'm offended and appalled that you're this hard right now. I think you should make amends for being so perverted.'

She gave his dick a playful squeeze and he nearly swallowed his tongue as she rolled her palm over the sensitive area lovingly.

He sucked on her pulse and bucked his hips against her, earning him a hearty moan that made him throb. 'I'm open to suggestions.'

'I bet,' she laughed. She pushed him back against the headboard. 'How about this?'

And before he could ask her what she meant, Sakura had lifted up and eased him inside of her, lowering down until her ass was resting against his thighs, a silent moan stretching her lips in delight as she wiggled into a comfier position. The feel of her around him felt so heavenly without a condom Naruto could've sung.

He settled for a low, steady moan as Sakura started to bounce.


Naruto allowed himself a chuckle as he eyed the restaurant his grandpa had told him to meet him at.

He had to give the old man some credit, no matter how much money he'd made off his books, or the movies of his less risqué books … though Jiraiya would proudly tell you about the porn films his works had inspired … he'd never spent his money frivolously.

The house he'd raised Naruto's father, uncles and auntie in was big and lavish but that had been for his wife and children. In the entire mini-mansion there was just one room for Jiraiya – his study. And it was easily one of the smaller rooms in the house. Auntie Konan had had a closet bigger than her father's study.

And that mentality had spread throughout the man's entire life. He drove a nice, functioning car, a bit flashier than necessary but not too flashy, still bought his clothes from places like Walmart and Target unless he needed something fancy then he'd find a local tailor.

But if it was for his kids or grandkids? Well … Naruto's eighteenth birthday present was the orange Jeep sat outside his student dorm. And it was pretty typical of the presents he'd gotten off his grandparents throughout his life.

Jiraiya had always said that if he was gonna spend money in great excess it would be to help people or to give them presents. His family, his friends or even the local businesses in his hometown that had been going since he was a kid himself.

There was a reason why Jiraiya Namikaze was a beloved figure back in their neighbourhood and as much as the old man annoyed Naruto endlessly with his perviness, he'd never try to deny the man's philanthropic nature.

There were several businesses in their portion of Konoha that only still existed because of Jiraiya's investment and the free advertising some of them got through his books. And he never asked for any reward, he was given them anyway and he always passed them on to anyone but himself, but that was never why he helped.

If Jiraiya could help you, he was damn well gonna.

It was actually one of the things that made him very proud to be his grandson. And the only thing he'd tried to emulate of him.

So yeah, of course when they arranged to eat together it would be at one of the businesses his grandfather had helped out.

Or at least, one of the restaurants in the chain he'd helped it grow in to. Naruto hadn't realised there was one so close to campus …

'Welcome to Ichiraku's! My name is Emiyo!' a friendly and pretty woman, he guessed in her mid-thirties, called from the counter at the entrance, her eyes flashed with recognition and she smiled a bit more as he approached. 'Ah, you must be Mr Namikaze's grandson, he said you'd be here soon. You look very like the photos he showed me. Please follow me Mr Uzumaki.'

'It's just Naruto, and thank you,' Naruto said sheepishly, he never got used to people recognising him in places like this. He normally had anonymity like everybody else but anywhere his grandfather had helped … it was like he was a mini-celebrity. 'Which pictures did he show you?'

Emiyo smiled over her shoulder at him, her neck length black hair bouncing in its ponytail, as she led him to where his grandpa's table must have been. 'He showed me a few, though he kept coming back to the one of you and your sister at the lake? He was very proud of that one, and though you're taller you're just as cute.'

Naruto smiled gently, blushing ever so slightly at the compliment. 'Thank you. Did he show you the one of my dad at his wedding?'

Emiyo nodded. 'He's such a lovely man, it's so sweet how much he loves you guys. Ah! There he is.'

Naruto rolled his eyes, partly because going by the couple of undone buttons at Emiyo's collar he knew why his grandpa had been so 'lovely' to her, but also because the sixty-plus years old man had risen from the table for two he'd been sat at and was waving animatedly at him.

'Naruto! My boy! Come over here and give Grandpa a hug!' Jiraiya crowed as Naruto left Emiyo to cross the rest of the distance to his table. Desperately trying to ignore the blatant staring at Emiyo's cleavage he could see the man doing. 'Emiyo, my dear, could you please bring my grandson a menu? And another beer for me and one for him, I promise he's over eighteen!'

Emiyo, who didn't appear to have caught on to his leering, smiled beautifully at the old man. 'Sure thing Mr Namikaze, I'll be right back.'

Naruto hugged the older man and sat down across from him, smacking Jiraiya on the arm when he was still staring after the retreating woman's back.

'I know she's a bit old for you Naruto,' Jiraiya chuckled lowly and winked at him. 'But you gotta admit, you definitely would. Did you see those things?'

The old man gestured at his chest, his hands acting like he was grabbing something and waggled his eyebrows as he finally sat down.

'Grandpa, come on.' He shook his head. 'Do you have to objectify every woman you meet?'

Jiraiya put his hand to his chest, adopting the perfect affronted expression and gasped. 'Naruto! I don't objectify! I merely appreciate the female form in all its beauty. And Emiyo's form is most definitely worthy of appreciation.'

Naruto rolled his eyes. 'You're being gross.'

'Gross?' Jiraiya frowned and shot him a disappointed shake of his head. 'What's gross about admiring a stunning woman? Just because she's not quite as perky and bouncy as the young ladies you're used to … trust me Naruto, as you age and your tastes mature you will learn the majesty of an older woman … your grandmother is still a fox even now! I mean, every night when we get into bed …'

'Stop! Please stop, okay?' Naruto felt bile rise in the back of his throat, desperately trying to disperse any images that were threatening to put him off sex for life. 'Fine, God, stop talking.'

The old man grinned victoriously and sipped from his glass of water.

Naruto shuddered, filling his mind with images of Sakura and the kiss goodbye she'd given him when she'd gone back to her place without him. The first day in about five days where they hadn't been together all the time.

Their first writing class was tomorrow morning though so it wasn't like it'd be long until he saw her again.

He was actually pretty excited for it. The class he meant. They'd be learning what workshop groups they were being split up into and getting the rundown on their end of semester submissions from the actual staff.

He'd already looked over the prospectus handout but honestly, he'd been a bit distracted and had to reread it before coming out to meet the man. As much as he was looking forward to getting to write for school … well Sakura naked was far more interesting than anything in the pamphlet.

The first time he'd tried to read it while Sakura was there with him … he'd barely gotten halfway through checking the reading list before Sakura had started taking off her top. And that was kinda how any attempt of looking at their university work had gone until this morning when she'd left.

'So, classes start tomorrow,' Jiraiya said with a big grin. 'You still mad at me for my little joke on Induction?'

Naruto glowered half-heartedly. 'Yes, why didn't you tell me?'

The old man shrugged and pointed a finger at him. 'Because you, my stubborn little grandson, wouldn't have stuck to the course if you knew I was going to be the Head Lecturer. You've always been weird about me reading your work, God knows why, it's always been really good! Needs a bit more romance if you ask me but that's down to taste. And I really want you to succeed and Konoha has the best writing course in the country.'

The blond grumbled as he fought down the blush from the praise. 'And what makes you think I won't just drop out now I know?'

'Simple,' Jiraiya chuckled and smirked. 'Remember, I saw the pink haired girl you left the room with. You're not leaving tail like that just because I'm here. Tell me, is she Busy? Or is it the hot little blonde you're living with? Ino, right? Or hell, maybe it's the jacked brunette, Tenten. You always did like a girl who could kick your ass. You inherit that from me, just like your dad.'

'Grandpa …' Naruto pleaded as the other man laughed again. 'Have you been stalking my Facebook or something?'

'Yes,' Jiraiya said simply, unrepentantly. 'Because you've not been talking to me. So if I must stalk you to find out how my favourite grandson is settling in, I shall.'

'Plus you wanted to perv on my roommates,' Naruto muttered under his breath. 'Did you do this when Kurama went to university as well? Or am I just lucky?'

The older man scoffed. 'No, because your sister kept in touch. Besides, her roommates weren't as hot.'

'You're a creep.'

'And you're dodging the question,' Jiraiya shot back, jabbing his finger at him. 'Who's mellowing you out so much? Because you'd never be this calm if you weren't getting laid regularly.'

Naruto busied himself with pouring a glass of water from the jug on the table, refusing to meet the other man's eye. Not because he was right, because that was irrelevant, but because there was no way in hell Naruto was talking to his perverted grandpa about his sex life.

He hadn't been stupid enough to do it as a teenager and he sure as hell wasn't doing it now.

'I don't know what you're talking about. I'm plenty pissed at you,' Naruto shot back, fixing the man with a glare for good measure. 'Asshole.'

'Nah,' Jiraiya said slowly, his gaze piercing as it ran over him, the insult going completely ignored. 'You're far less tense, you looked ready to rip my head off last week, now? You can barely bring yourself to tell me off for conducting research. You're getting some, lots of it I'd guess, so who?'

Letting out a long sigh, doing his best not to slam the jug back down on the table, Naruto frowned. 'I'm not telling you, why do you even want to know? It's really creepy to be this invested in your grandson's sex life Grandpa.'

The old man just waved his hands at him dismissively and hushed him. 'Words words words, just give me a name, or names, and then I can decide how proud I am that you were only here a week or two and already scored. Your father and uncles were far less smooth.'

Yeah, because telling him about his father and uncles not getting laid all the time in uni was definitely the way to go.

Wasn't like his father had fallen in love with his Naruto's mother when they were kids, or that Uncle Nagato and Uncle Yahiko had actually gone to university to study and none of them were the sex crazed psychos that Jiraiya was.

Thank God for Grandma's influence.

'I'm not telling you anything old man,' Naruto said finally, sipping from his water. 'Drop it.'

'I'll tell your mother you looked like you hadn't been eating.' Jiraiya crossed his arms over his chest and frowned deeper. 'I'll do it Naruto. Then you'll be getting daily phone calls and you'll never get a moment's peace to be with Busy again.'

Naruto's hand stilled on his glass, a bead of sweat running down his neck and disappearing into his shirt.

He loved his mother, he loved her desperately but he couldn't take daily calls. It wasn't even that he'd have to explain to Sakura about why his mother was calling so much without looking like a mommy's boy.

Sakura had actually said she thought it was sweet how close his family was, and sympathised with an overly protective mother. Her dad was apparently a bit shotgun-Dady.

But Jiraiya was right. He'd never get a moment's peace. His mother would be texting him, or calling him, or stalking his social media for any sniff of a hint that something was wrong with her baby.

And as bad as his grandpa was about women in Naruto's life … Kushina would grill him even harder about Sakura. And she'd know it was Sakura and none of the others who he was spending time with. She'd always been able to pick out what girl he had a thing for.

And the idea of trying to dance around his and Sakura's arrangement with his mother questioning him … was not something he wanted to do. God forbid he slip and somehow hint they were sleeping together.

Kushina Uzumaki would rip into Sakura's life and know everything about her within the day. And Naruto would never see Sakura again. It'd happened before. There'd been a summer fling Naruto had had with a girl called Shion at a hotel on the beach that she was also visiting with her family.

His mother had flat out interrogated the girl so bad that for the rest of the time her family was there … Shion had actively avoided him.

Kushina had apologised when she saw how upset Naruto was … probably helped that, according to Kurama, his dad had given her a light telling off later … and promised to never do it again.

But she'd still been a bit frosty when she'd first met Tayuya. She'd warmed to her eventually but that had took time. And Tayuya had actually been his girlfriend … Sakura was not.

As much as Sakura loved spending time with him, she had been very vocal about her enjoyment of certain parts in particular, Naruto highly doubted she'd think her fuck buddy's mother interrogating her would be worth it.

And he wouldn't blame her. So best to avoid it.

Because he really wanted to keep having sex with Sakura, like really wanted to.

'I'll do it,' Jiraiya said, his gaze never wavering from Naruto's as he glared at him. 'I swear to God Naruto.'

'You're such an asshole Grandpa,' Naruto growled. He was gonna have to tell the man something though, but he knew he could get away with names. He'd just throw the old pervert's own words back at him. 'I'm not giving you a name. 'Be classy' remember?'

The white haired man rolled his eyes, failing to cover a sliver of a proud smile though and sighed heavily into his glass of water. 'Brat. Fine, just tell me how many girls or how many times, no names, no more questions, and we move on to something else.'

Naruto weighed the options. It was kinda gross to tell him even that, honestly he really didn't want to. But he also knew his grandpa. If he didn't at least tell him something he'd push until he got what he wanted.

Good man or not, Jiraiya Namikaze would happily use his family as research tools and he could be devious and petty about getting the info out of you.

There was a reason why so many of his books were clearly inspired by family stories. He could wheedle information out of anyone. Especially his children.

'You promise you'll stop pestering me about this?' Naruto glowered at him. 'Just a number and you'll back off?'

'Cross my heart,' Jiraiya ran his fingers over his chest and smiled winningly. 'And I'll even tell your mother you're hale and healthy and that if she doesn't hear from you for a little while it's only because you're busy with schoolwork. Deal?'

Naruto sighed and closed his eyes slowly. This was so wrong. Wasn't like he could just lie either, he'd never been able to lie convincingly to any of his family. He just flat out sucked at it.

'Fine, one girl, are you happy now?' Naruto shot at the man with a glower. 'You're right, can we please move on?'

Jiraiya beamed at him. 'And it's got to have been a lot because you're so damn relaxed kiddo, honestly I think there was even a bounce in your step when you walked in! I'm so proud of you.'

'I hate you,' Naruto grumbled, his cheeks burning as he mentally apologised to Sakura over and over in his head. 'Can we please eat now?'

The older man just grinned and patted Naruto on the arm. 'Of course, Emiyo should be back in a second with our drinks. Ah, here she comes now.'

'Hello Mr Namikaze, Naruto,' Emiyo said as she approached, balancing a tray with two bottles of beer on it and two glasses, a couple of menus tucked under her arm. 'Sorry for the delay Naruto, your grandpa told me to wait a little while before bringing the drinks out, said he needed some privacy. Did I leave enough time sir?'

Naruto glowered at the older man, who was flat out ignoring him to check out Emiyo with surprising subtlety. He'd deliberately told Emiyo to not bring their drinks out yet?

Son of a bitch, he was gonna kick his old ass. And then he was so telling Grandma how the old bastard was staring at Emiyo's ass and breasts.

'Are you okay Naruto?' Emiyo asked, a concerned look on her face as she placed his beer down in front of him. 'You look awful red.'

The woman turned to look at Jiraiya, who only beamed more. 'He's fine, I was just teasing him a little, he's got a very expressive face. Thank you, you did perfectly Emiyo, dear. I'll make sure to put a massive tip in for you. Now I'd keep those beers coming, my grandson looks like he needs them.'

He was gonna break the bottle over his stupid head. That's what Naruto was gonna do. That's what he needed.

'Thank you sir!' Emiyo smiled, bouncing slightly in place, Jiraiya's eyes bouncing similarly. Perv. 'I'll leave you two some time to think on what you want to eat, can I get you anything to start with?'

Jiraiya reached out to pat the woman's hand and shook his head. 'Not right now, but thank you.'

'Okay, I'll come back in a bit, bye,' Emiyo said cheerily and walked away, making a beeline for her next table probably.

'You're such an asshole,' Naruto hissed at his grandpa. 'You are such an unbelievable …'

'You'd rather that lovely woman overhear you telling me you'd been getting laid?' Jiraiya raised an eyebrow at him with a smug smirk. 'How would you think that'd look? You little pervert.'

'I'm gonna kick you in the balls old man, I swear to God!'

'Hush,' Jiraiya fired back. 'Drink your beer and tell me what you've written lately, I remember you were last working on an action/adventure story with demon animals possessing people? Bit dark Naruto, have you given any thought to my advice about a love interest? Just make sure she's a fiery, confident heroine who's more than just a pair of big tits and a submissive attitude, your readers will never engage with her otherwise. It's the wrong genre for that.'

Naruto blushed and drank some beer, letting the slight burn of the drink wash down. 'Haven't had a chance to write anything, been … busy.'

'That's my boy.' Jiraiya reclined back in his chair and grinned. 'But do make sure to put the girl down and write something for your submissions, I know it's your first year but you do actually have to do more than screw hot girls to pass. Alright?'

'Grandpa!'

'What? I'd pass you for it if I could but they'd never let me,' Jiraiya said with a grumpy shrug. 'Anyway, this heroine, have you given a thought to what abilities you wanted to give her? I liked your idea about making her super strong, that's a nice cliché dodge, but don't be afraid to make her a healer who can also kick ass if you want!'

Naruto actually allowed himself a smile as the rest of their dinner led more into writing advice and, even with Emiyo coming over to take their food orders and replenish their drinks throughout the meal, Jiraiya remained on topic and they batted some of his idea back and forth to the point that when it came time to leave, Naruto was actually kinda sad to go.

Massive pervert or not, Jiraiya was still his grandpa and he was immense fun to spend time with when he wasn't being creepy.

He guessed he wouldn't tell his Grandma that Jiraiya had been checking out their waitress pretty much all night after all.

Yet.


'Get him!' Tenten shouted as she jammed the buttons on her controller. 'Go on shell! Fucking get the cheating bastard!'

Naruto snorted as his driver swerved around the green shell Tenten had thrown at him, the thing shattering against the brick wall.

'Damn it!' Tenten growled, her own driver running headlong into a banana peel and wiping out until the stars were running around her guy's head. 'How the hell did you do that?!'

'Talent,' Naruto shot back. 'And Sakura lays bananas out like landmines.'

Sakura nudged him with her leg, controller gripped between her fingers so tight she nearly broke it. 'Don't blame me for your cheating Naruto, how the hell are you this lucky?'

Naruto chuckled. 'You two remember I'm not in first place right?'

'No, but they know they can't touch me,' Gaara said monotonously, mostly, a slim flicker of smugness in his voice. The little head of his driver so far ahead of the other five players on the mini-map that he was close to lapping Ino.

Though to be fair, the blonde was kinda checked out of the game, just tossing the occasional item at the nearest player or laying down traps.

'If you will play with competitive people Naruto,' she said with a shrug, checking her nails and correcting her driver before she went into the wall. 'Expect them to get pissy when they're losing. This is exactly why I suggested a movie. You can't win at a movie.'

Neji, who had long since stopped playing, his driver parked up out of the way and his controller discarded, gave Ino a long, sympathising look. 'Yes, but we'd probably wind up with those two acting like a pair of teenagers on the sofa, at least with a game their hands are occupied.'

Both Naruto and Sakura blushed as the other four laughed good-naturedly.

'We can behave you know,' Naruto said mulishly, throwing a trap right into Tenten's face and smirking at her snarl. 'Right Sakura?'

'Yeah,' Sakura said, in a tone that would lead you to think she was sticking her tongue out at you. 'Besides, it's not like you and Tenten don't have a good feel of each other too. Judge much?'

'Ack!' Neji squawked, coughing on his beer in surprise and slamming his chest. 'We do not … when did you …'

'Babe,' Tenten said, a rosy colour to her cheeks as Naruto and Sakura grinned at each other, knocking shoulders as their drivers sped away from Tenten. 'Take the hit. Your hand is literally on my ass.'

'Sorry,' Neji said sheepishly and blushed quietly as Gaara's portion of the giant screen filled up with the word winner.

He rested back in his chair and smiled slightly, just watching the chaos he had unleashed with his suggestion of Mario Kart as a group game to round off the night.

The idea of a game/movie night had come up a few weeks ago, apparently during the three days Naruto had spent at Sakura's.

It had initially been meant for just the four roommates. A bonding thing that Ino and Tenten had come up with one night when the two girls were having a bottle of wine and watching some movies from when they were kids.

They'd roped Gaara into it the next night. Once he'd mentioned he had pretty much every game console under the sun sitting in his room, Tenten suggested they play a game for some of the time and watch a movie the rest. That way if the movie wasn't a success with everyone at least they could then do something as a group to round it out.

So on the second night, the three of them had played Wii Sports and watched a couple of movies. When Naruto had come back from being with Sakura, and the pinkette had gone back to her place the following day, they'd cornered him about their planned night.

Naruto had been all for it.

And the first one had actually just been the four of them. And it had been great! They'd ordered take out, played some video games and watched a movie. It had genuinely been a lovely night.

But when they'd stopped after spending three out of four days with each other all night, Tenten wanted to hang out with Neji, Sakura had come round again the following night and Gaara and Ino had actually had to study a bit … well Sakura and Neji were still in the apartment once the next game night rolled round and it just seemed natural for them to join in.

Naruto and Tenten had asked the other two if they were okay with it of course, both equally a bit nervous they'd ruined a fun thing with bringing in other people. Also really hoping Ino didn't suggest bringing in Kiba.

The few nights that the prick had been in the apartment were not the best.

Thankfully it hadn't been an issue though, Neji was in the apartment quite a lot, and Sakura well … Sakura had only actually left the apartment a few times and much like with Neji and Tenten … when Sakura went back to her place, Naruto normally went with her.

So as far as Ino and Gaara were concerned, they had two part time roommates in Neji and Sakura. And Naruto had to admit he kinda felt the same way? Like he and Sakura did spend some time at her place but honestly?

Naruto's smaller and more crowded apartment had a nicer energy to it than the rich and fancy apartment Sakura shared with Sasuke. They only really spent any time there when Sasuke was gonna be out or for trips to pick up more clothes and stuff for Sakura.

And Sasuke had been in the apartment quite a bit the last week so they'd basically picked up about a week's worth of clothes and not been back since. Sakura had just taken over one of his drawers with her stuff.

It'd felt a bit odd at first but really … it just made sense? She was here a lot, it saved them having to make daily trips to the other side of the city to pick up fresh panties and bras and well … the less time spent being somewhere else, the more time they could spend … leaving those panties and bras on the floor.

So yeah, Naruto was really glad his roommates were okay with Sakura joining them, that they too felt it quite natural to have her there on the apartment game night. It would have really sucked to have to tell Sakura to not come over, or even worse to go away or stay in his room on her own or something … which he didn't think his friends would have actually suggested but worst case scenarios are worst case scenarios.

Plus he got to see the competitive side of Sakura which … well which was really quite hot he had to admit. He'd have to suggest the two of them play alone and see what came of it. He expected nudity and lots of it but maybe that was just wishful thinking. Although, practically everything relating to Sakura and him ended with clothes being mysteriously absent, so …

Shame they wouldn't be able to do anything about it tonight though. Ah well, he could wait a couple days.

'And that's it,' Gaara said blandly, stretching in his chair as Ino's driver ambled over the finish line for the last time and the game timed out as Neji's screen just went to black. 'So we got me first, of course …'

'Show off,' Naruto ribbed the auburn haired man gently. Grinning at Sakura who was flat out leaning on him and pouting adorably.

'Naruto second.'

'Cheater,' Sakura grumbled and pinched his side, making him laugh a little at the slight tickle.

He kissed her forehead and she smiled. The soft smile spreading warmth outwards from his heart.

'Sakura third, Tenten fourth, Ino fifth and Neji sixth, though let's be honest, you guys stopped caring a while back,' Gaara said with a slight chuckle. 'I think we should probably go to bed now?'

'Agreed,' Tenten yawned, huffing and falling back against Neji, who wrapped her in a big hug. 'I've got lectures in the morning and I should be getting some marks back on a homework paper I had to do. Don't want to oversleep and miss that.'

Tenten pulled a face and the five of them made sympathetic noises or in Neji's case, hugged a little tighter.

'Yeah, we've all got early starts, best call it,' Ino said, lifting herself up from her chair and stretching out her stiff muscles. 'I need my beauty sleep, so I want you four to promise to give a girl a break tonight alright?'

The blonde waved her finger around at Tenten and Neji and then Naruto and Sakura, who blushed or pulled faces at her in response.

'Fine, fine,' Tenten said with a snort, lifting herself up off the sofa with Neji in tow. 'We'll be good Matron Ino, night guys.'

Neji waved, stifling a yawn and let Tenten lead him out by the hand, letting the door to the living room/kitchen swing shut after them.

Naruto could have sworn he heard Neji mutter whether Tenten was serious and had to smirk when he heard the bark-like laughter and someone getting shoved.

'You know you probably shouldn't have said that right?' Gaara asked, busying himself with turning off all the electronics and starting to clear away takeout boxes and glasses to be dealt with in the morning. 'She's gonna fuck him through the bed to spite you now.'

'Probably,' Ino said with a shrug. 'It's fine they'll be mostly muffled by the hallway and her bed and your bed are on opposite sides of the room to each other. Girl could scream her lungs out and we'd probably only hear a muffled whisper.'

Sakura raised an eyebrow at Ino's mention of knowing where Gaara's bed was and shot a covert look at Naruto, but he merely shook his head and mouthed: later.

Gaara merely shrugged and with a sigh, he looked around the organised mess and shook his head. 'I'll deal with this later, I'm going to bed. See you all tomorrow.'

'Night Gaara,' Naruto said as Sakura and Ino echoed him. The other man giving them a wave as he too disappeared in the direction of his room.

'Well I guess we'd best head to bed too huh? Shall we?' Naruto gestured at Sakura to stand up and she hummed and extracted herself from snuggling into his side. 'Night Ino.'

Ino moved to block their path though and held up a hand. 'Ah ah, as much as I was saying it to those two as well … I was more talking about you guys.' Ino peered at Naruto and Sakura. Who both had the good sense to blush and grin sheepishly at each other. 'I enjoy hearing two people going at it as much as the next unrepressed girl, but I can't spend another night with headphones in just trying to get some sleep okay? So leave each other alone tonight at least please.'

Sakura, who previously had been leaning against Naruto, leant into him more, like she was actively trying to disappear up his shirt or something. Her cheeks were so red he could feel the heat coming off them against his arm.

'We're not that bad are we?' She said quietly, a small, cute smile on her face.

'I don't think so,' Naruto said, rubbing a circle into Sakura's back, massaging it gently with his thumb. 'Besides Ino, it's not like you and Kiba are wilting flowers when he's over.'

'A) we normally hook up at his place and b) we still don't fuck as much as you two. You make Catholic rabbits look prudish,' Ino said back without any malice, she leant over to playfully shove Naruto's other shoulder. 'And normally, I'd be all for it, you two crazy kids have fun but just for tonight, cuddle instead or something please?'

Naruto and Sakura sighed together and nodded. They hadn't planned on doing anything tonight anyway.

'Sure,' Naruto said with an apologetic smile. 'Sorry if we've been keeping you up.'

'Yeah,' Sakura added, her blush deepening the longer they stood there. 'Didn't realise we were that loud.'

Ino waved her hand dismissively in front of them, like she was shooing a lazy fly. 'It's fine seriously, just after three nights in a row … a girl needs a break okay?'

They nodded and Ino smile at them. 'Good, now you two go I'll finish this, my classes start later than all of you and I still wanna have a bath before I go to bed. Nighty night.'

The two of them bid Ino good night and did their best not to slink out of the room like scolded children.

They walked to Naruto's bedroom in silence, grinning at each other at the sounds of low moaning and creaking bedsprings coming from Tenten's room and Naruto squeezed Sakura's fingers gently.

It wasn't until they were behind his door that Sakura said anything.

'Reckon I should have told her we couldn't have sex tonight anyway?' Sakura said with a rueful sigh. She looked a bit of sheepish as she said it and leant into his chest.

'Nah, none of her business. How's your tummy feeling by the way, any better than this morning?'

'No, sorry Naruto, period's cock-blocking you.' Sakura reached up to peck his cheek. 'Straight to bed tonight.'

Because that was the truth of it. Even without Ino asking them to behave, she'd have got a reprieve anyway. As, much to both his and Sakura's sorrow, the pinkette had gotten her period in the night and it wasn't until her lips were at his waist that she realised it. And as the day had gone on the poor woman had been wracked with cramps and stomach ache so severe she'd had to wrap around a pillow for a couple hours by about eleven this morning.

So yeah, no sex for a couple days. She'd promised if she felt better later he'd get a blowjob but honestly, he hadn't counted on it. He probably would've turned it down even if she offered at this point, it wasn't fair to expect anything like that when Sakura's uterus was pitching a fit.

'Though on that note … do you think we have too much sex?' Sakura asked as she walked up to his bed and sat down on the edge looking at him. 'Like are we being inconsiderate about it?'

'You know I'm never going to say we're having too much sex right?' Naruto said with a cheeky grin, leaning down to kiss her cheek as she smirked. 'But seriously, I wouldn't put any real thought into it. She's probably just teasing us, remember I told you about my first night here after she'd moved in? She's not been through that from us.'

'When she fucked Kiba all night and you couldn't sleep?' Sakura giggled and bent over to place her phone on the bedside table. 'Yeah, tell me you didn't enjoy listening to that though.'

Naruto snorted as the pinkette winked and nudged him as he sat down next to her. 'I prefer hearing you,' he said, dropping his voice an octave while running his fingers over Sakura's side. The quick tickles making her yelp and swat at his hands.

'No!' she cried as he went to tickle her again, holding his hand to the bed with both of hers and playfully glaring. 'No tickling and flirting, it'll lead to things we can't do for another couple days and that's not fair. Behave Naruto, or no blowjobs when I feel less shit, understood?'

Naruto made a show of grumbling but grinned at her playful scowl and kissed her quickly. 'Fine, I'm gonna go brush my teeth while you change.'

'Why? Will seeing me take my clothes off make you so uncontrollable with lust you'd have to take me? Time of the month or not?' Sakura flirted, deliberately pulling down the neckline of her long-sleeved top to give just the hint of cleavage.

What was that about no flirting? He mentally chuckled at her antics and sighed. If they hadn't literally spent every night for the past few days screwing each other's brains out he didn't think he'd be able to behave nearly as much as he was. Not when she was breaking her own rules.

'Pretty much,' Naruto winked, making his way to the bathroom after another quick tickle of Sakura's side. 'I mean dat ass Sakura, and them boobies? Damn.'

'Dork,' Sakura giggled fondly and sighed as he disappeared into his bathroom. 'Suppose I should take it as a compliment that you can't keep your hands off me. Even when I'm on my period.'

He heard the ruffling of clothes and the squeaking of his bed as Sakura got up to undress and smirked around his toothbrush.

'Says the woman who's threatening me with a striptease and staring at my ass,' Naruto called, scratching at his chin. He should probably shave soon, he was growing a serious amount of stubble.

'Hormones were firing through me, I'm allowed to be a hypocrite.'

Naruto laughed, Sakura's own laughter getting louder as she appeared at the bathroom door and leant against the frame and smirked at him.

She'd changed into one of his t-shirts, the one she was meant to be sleeping in for the last couple night, meant to be because by the time they'd actually fallen asleep, neither of them were wearing any clothes.

And with her leant against the doorframe in just his t-shirt, her sensitive nipples pointing at him and the hem resting just beneath her thighs … Sakura was pretty confident in saying she was sexiest woman he'd ever met.

'Eyes up here Uzumaki,' she said teasingly. Her fingers going from her chest to her eyes as she kept smirking at him. 'And before you get too excited,' she lifted the hem of the t-shirt, Naruto's pulse jumping instinctively, to reveal a pair of light green boyshorts with a black trim. 'And before you say anything, the bra hurts my boobs right now so I'm not being mean alright?'

'Well you are,' Naruto poked her forehead lightly. 'But given you're literally being stabbed from the inside, I'll have to do my best to behave. Damn sexy woman.'

Sakura shook her head, turning to look at his door with a curious look on her face as he finished brushing his teeth and gargled with mouthwash.

'Okay, done,' Naruto said as he stepped out of the small bathroom and let Sakura take her turn.

'Thank you,' Sakura said, giving him a light smack on the butt as she passed him and winked. 'Be right out.'

She shut the door in his face and Naruto snorted at the sound of the tap turning on.

He'd had time to change into his sleep shirt and boxers, flick through his various social media one last time and set an alarm for the morning when Sakura called from the bathroom. 'So …'

'Yeah?' Naruto replied, placing his phone on his bedside table next to Sakura's and pulling back the duvet so he could climb in.

'Hold on, probably best I ask when I'm not by the door.' Sakura finished quickly, the sounds of getting ready for bed echoing round into the rest of the room as Naruto flicked off the main light and turned on his lamp.

He was just settling into the bed as Sakura appeared and climbed over him to be closer to the wall, melting into the waiting hug and burying her face right into his chest. She took a deep breath in and smiled as she nuzzled in.

Naruto let her snuggle him while he flicked off his lamp, taking great delight in the happy sighs as she nestled against his chest and hogged all his warmth. It was cute as all hell.

'So what were you gonna ask me?'

'Oh!' Sakura whispered and peered up at him in the dark, he could just make out her curious expression. 'Yeah, not to judge or anything, but how does Ino know where Gaara's bed is exactly? I thought he was … you know?'

Naruto snorted as Sakura's eyebrows waggled in the dark and gave her side a gentle poke. 'He's Gaara so let's not assume anything but on that one it's nothing scandalous.'

'Well?' Sakura said impatiently, poking him in the chest. 'Spill Naruto, why does she know the layout of his room?'

He laughed and cuddled the pinkette a little closer. She let him and that warmth from his heart spread a little more. 'Because Ino's been hanging out with Gaara in his room when Gaara's been feeling a bit homesick. He's not used to being away from his siblings and I think some nights he can't sleep because of it. So on those nights, Ino goes and keeps him company.'

'Reckon they share the bed?' Sakura asked, the hidden meaning under the words so poorly disguised Naruto could have seen it from space.

'I mean, if the idea is to sleep, probably.'

'Huh,' Sakura said, moving in his arms so her back was against his chest and her ass was … well, he wasn't going to focus on that right now. It was counterproductive to him behaving. 'And you're sure they're not …'

'Making like Catholic rabbits?' Naruto finished, nuzzling into the back of Sakura's neck. 'Pretty sure yeah, like you said Gaara's Gaara. I don't think he even cares about that sort of stuff and he's pretty touch starved. They probably just cuddle.'

'Maybe,' Sakura hummed and reached for his hand, his arm wrapped around her stomach, and weaved her fingers with his. 'Hey Naruto?'

'Yeah?' Naruto asked, his eyes drifting closed as he let the scent of Sakura's shampoo soothe his senses and felt his brain starting to fall asleep.

'Thanks for letting me stay the night even though we can't do anything,' she said into the darkness, her voice soft and vulnerable. 'I didn't wanna go home yet.'

Naruto pulled her close and smiled into her hair. 'Welcome Sakura, besides it makes more sense for you to stay here, we've been drinking and you live on the other side of the city.'

'Plus your place is so much closer to campus,' Sakura added, her voice sounding sleepier and sleepier as they cuddled. 'And you give awesome cuddles.'

He laughed softly and rubbed over her belly gently with his thumb. 'Thanks, you're pretty awesome at them too.'

'Mhmm,' she replied, he could feel the smile filling up her face as she wiggled into him even more. 'Night Naruto.'

'Night Sakura.'

And with that Naruto felt himself finally drift into sleep as Sakura's soothing breathing led him off.

The same peace enveloping him every time he shared a bed with Sakura.
