"Naruto. How have you been?"

"Fine."

A raised eyebrow from Sasuke at that saying "elaborate" and a determined and stubborn face from Naruto saying "don't even bother asking me questions because I'm not obliged to give you answers about my life."

Then another approach:

"What have you been doing for the past 10 years?"

"I don't see how that concerns you."

"Well, I just wanted to know how-"

"Can I go now?"

Sasuke was starting to get pissed off. Here he was trying to explain himself and Naruto wouldn't even give him the time of day! "Naruto would you please stop trying to get this over with? I get that you're angry with me- hell I'll allow you to be. But I'm trying to melt the ice between us and you aren't making it any easier."

"OH HELL! IM NOT MAKING IT ANY EASIER FOR YOU?! HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I FEEL SASUKE?! YOU LEFT ME! FOR 10 FUCKING YEARS WITHOUT A FUCKING EXPLANATION EITHER. I THINK "ANGRY" CROSSES THE FUCKING LINE" Naruto tried his hardest not to shout but he couldn't help it, the bastard left him alone and broken. He had some sort of right to be angry with him.

Sasuke mentally sighed, the loud-mouth blond was always loud in the wrong places and times. When he did need to be loud it was muffled by kisses so as not to wake neighbors.

"My father forced me to marry a woman so I would be able to have children and the child would be able to run the uchiha business...It's not my fault Naruto, you know how he is"

"So you left me for work? WORK SASUKE?! Did you ever think that maybe. You could have forgotten about your work for one second and tha-" Naruto was in the middle of a sentence before Sasuke stopped him

"He threatened to kill you if I didn't leave!" Sasuke was whisper-shouting now.

"He what?" That seemed to calm him down. actually, it seemed to scare him.

"He threatened to kill you na-ru-to" "that's why I left you, I know it's not much of an excuse but.."

"Sasuke. I understand that, but you ended things horribly. You left me heartbroken after that. You could have sent a text or an email saying that you did not mean any of what you said, but you didn't. I don't think I will ever forgive you for that. It was nice meeting you again, I need to go" Naruto stood up and walked back to his car, after leaving his money on the table for his coffee. Sasuke sat at the table stunned and a bit sad. He understood that whatever he and naruto had in the past was now gone and it would take some time to mend back together.

A loud ringing broke him out of his train of thought, Sasuke felt buzzing from his cell phone in his pocket. He took it out and read the caller ID it read 'sakura'. Sasuke scoffed and turned off the phone. Sakura was his 'wife', after Fugaku forced Sasuke to leave Naruto, he also forced him to marry a woman he knew nothing about. Something about 'continuing the family line' and had also been forced to get her pregnant. After a while of being married to Sakura, he noticed that she was a complete and utter fucking bitch. She bragged to everyone about being married to Sasuke, she allowed their daughter to grow up bratty and annoying (as she is/was as a child) and spoiled. He had also come to the conclusion that she only wanted him for his looks and money.

The sex wasn't even good he honestly had no reason to stay with her, so after he decided to leave her(5 years ago), Sakura said she would tell his father that he wanted out and Sasuke didn't want to deal with all the hassle so he just stayed with the crazy bitch. Itachi had asked him to come back to Konaha City for some business he needed help with, seeing as he had left the family years ago and made his own company called the Akatsuki, A project that required someone from the family to help with. So here he was, back in his home. He didn't exactly expect to see Naruto again, he honestly thought he moved away or something but nope here he was, and with a child had naruto gotten married to someone? No there was no ring on his finger..and the kid called him 'mama'. Did he have a fetish or something?.

Sasuke sat there for a couple more hours, Naruto and the child wracking his brain with thoughts and 'what ifs'. After he finally decided to leave the coffee shop, went to his old house that he had owned before he moved out of konaha. It wasn't much, of course, it was expensive, but it didn't hold much life to it like it used to. When he was still with Naruto it always felt like a home, something he was happy to come back to every day and see his sunshine smiling at him. Now it was just a place with lost memories. He hadn't been here in a while, the place surprisingly looked clean for it to have been left alone for 9 years. Sasuke finally moved further into the house and set his coat on his coat rack. He sighed and turned on the light, not expecting to see his older brother sitting on a chair with a cup of what he assumed to be tea. "Kami what the fuck Itachi?!" Sasuke had dropped his phone- which was probably broken now.

"Greetings little brother. How was your flight?" Itachi said with a sarcastic smile.

"It was- what the fuck are you doing in my house?!" Itachi only looked at him while he sat his tea down.

"Can't an older brother want to greet his younger brother?"

"You can, but this is not a normal greeting Itachi!" "what if I had a weapon and gotten so scared I threw it at you?"

"You wouldn't, judging by how minimal your jump was, I would say I didn't scare you too badly" Itachi stood up with a soft smile. "So, again, how was your flight?"

Sasuke sighed "It was fine…"

"There is something you're not telling me, little brother. Something happened on your way home right?" Itachi's face went back to the cold 'uchiha stone-face'.

"What? How did you-"

"It takes 30 minutes to get here from the airport Sasuke, you texted me when you got off your plane. That was 5 hours ago"

"Okay fine, I ran into Naruto when I stopped at the store" Sasuke sat down in a chair across from Itachi's.

"Oh?" Itachi also sat back down in his chair. "Naruto uzumaki?"

Sasuke nodded in reply

"Well that's nice isn't it?"

"Well I tried to conversate with him..but it seems that he hates me now"

"Well from what you told me...you did pretty much leave him terribly. You told him you didn't love him anymore...I'd say he has a right to be angry with you"

"Yes, You're right...I guess I will just have to keep trying" "I really never stopped loving him, I just needed a cover story so he wouldn't try and change my mind." Sasuke sighed once again as he stood up to go make himself some tea. "So tomorrow I'm going to call him again and see if I can find him"

Itachi followed him "You do that otouto, let me know how it goes too. Oh and, I came here to tell you that father is flying out Sakura and Sarada"

"He what?!" Sasuke nearly dropped his teapot.

"Just as I said, little brother, He didn't like that you left them there alone and he told me he was flying them out. He said a man shouldn't leave his family, much less an Uchiha man"

Sasuke groaned.

…

It was around midnight when Sasuke heard his doorbell ring. That means that the she-beast was here. He sighed and walked to the door and he opened it.

"SASUKE! I can't believe you would just leave me and Sarada like that!" Sakura had at least 8 suitcases behind her, and about 17 bags one of her bodyguards was carrying for her. "Set them down in the master bedroom idiots, and be careful I have very expensive stuff in there, and get Sarada's stuff too" She barked at them and they started scurrying around with the bags.

"Can you quiet down? It's midnight." Sasuke looked at her and finally noticed his sleeping daughter resting in her arms. She rolled her eyes and dumped Sarada in his arms before she pushed her way inside of his mansion.

"Now your father already enrolled Sarada in a school here, so that is taken care of"

Sasuke could only sigh.

…

"Okay, menma what time is it?" Naruto and Menma were currently doing their 'thing' that they usually do every day before school.

"Time for what mama? Time for the pancake man?" He made a silly stance and clapped his hands signifying 'flat' for pancakes.

"No silly! Time for school. Now make sure we dont get silly things like…." Naruto chuckled and he helped Menma put on his backpack, expecting him to continue.

Menma caught on and threw up his thumbs. "Sad faces or phone calls home! I got ya covered mama, it won't happen. Believe it!"

"Now good job I love you forever and ever" Naruto started tickling Menma while he tried to get away from the ferocious 'tickle monster'. He ended up running to their car.

…

"Now you go have fun okay?" Naruto gave Menma a kiss on his cheek and ruffled his hair before Menma ran off into his school. "They grow up so fast" He sniffed and walked back to Kiba's house. After the break-up, Kiba had insisted that he and Menma stayed with him since he had an extra room and an 'office' that he never used they could stay with him as long as needed…..even if that is 10 years. Throughout the years' Naruto and Menma hated being alone so they just shared a room. Naruto finally found himself a job at the Ichiraku ramen shop not far from Kiba's house. It paid pretty well, and he had planned on finding himself an apartment so they could get out of Kiba's hair.

…

After Naruto got off of work he was supposed to pick up Menma from school so they could go to the park or something to kill time, but the entire time he had been working he couldn't get Sasuke out of his mind. It was like he was a pest that would never go away. He could admit he felt things for Sasuke still, but he had left him so he could not weep over it. Besides, It's been years. Sasuke was bound to have gotten married. Either by free will or by choice. Naruto finally pulled up and when he did he saw Menma talking to a little girl. She was adorable with her black hair and glasses. Now normally Naruto wouldn't eavesdrop but this calls for extreme measures.

…

"So your name is Sarada?" Menma looked at the girl who had just said goodbye to her other friends.

"Yeah and? Who are you, loser" She replied in a harsh snappy tone as if she were above him.

"Im Menma, and im not a loser!" He pointed at her.

"Yeah yeah, you look poor so that means you are poor and if you are poor then that means you're a loser!" "I bet you dont even have a mother-" She pushed up her glasses and was interrupted by a loud 'ahem'. She looked up and saw her father standing there with an annoyed look on his face.

"What are you doing Sarada?" Sasuke looked at the little boy who was probably on the verge of tears after what she just said to him.
